About
With over 30 years of experience guiding clients through the Chicago real estate market and many 5-star online reviews, I bring both deep expertise and genuine care to every relationship. My passion for Chicago and its many distinctive neighborhoods is evident in the guidance I provide at every step.

I work with all sorts of clients, from first-time buyers, move-up sellers, empty nesters, relocation clients, and seniors and their families navigating the emotional side of downsizing or making moves to senior living spaces. I am highly accessible, responsive, and trusted for my clear perspective—qualities my clients consistently value during what can be a complex and emotional process.

My commitment to my clients doesn’t end at the closing table. The lasting relationships I build are reflected in the strong referral business I continue to receive and send from past clients and my national agent referral network who confidently reach out to me.

Helen was a life saver. Honestly , we can't imagine how we would ever have navigated all of the ins and outs. Our dear friend referred her to us and from the moment we met her we knew this is who we were going to work with. We were selling a condo in my husband's family so we also had to some how learn how to deal with probate and selling the condo. But, Helen saved the day! Her knowledge of all things required to go on this path gave us the peace of mind we needed to get it done. She was patient, kind, had a great sense of humor, and worked so hard to bring this to point of selling the condo. We will recommend her and her team to everyone. Thank you Helen, with our gratitude from Billy and Erin.

Helen was a dream to work with! Being out of state buyers, we had to rely on Helen to be our eyes on the ground in Chicago, and she went to some showings herself and recorded videos to share with us. We appreciated all her patience in us learning the market in Chicago and her honesty on pricing, renovations, repairs, etc. Helen is very knowledgeable about all things real estate and housing, and she is an ace in your corner for negotiations. Cannot recommend Helen more!

We so enjoyed and appreciated the experience and expertise that Helen Sobel provided with our recent real estate transaction in Chicago. She was friendly, responsive and knowledgeable- everything one could ask for in a real estate agent! Her connections in the industry were helpful in a myriad of ways. We couldn’t recommend her more highly!

Helen is incredibly knowledgeable in her field. She has represented our family twice as a buyer and once as a seller. When we were the buyers, she took the time to understand the needs of our family; we never felt rushed into any decisions and she always selected properties that fit our needs. Most recently when Helen represented us as sellers, she was forthcoming in the new real estate laws that were enacted and how they affect us. She guided us through how best to reach a target population. During the process of the sale we had some hurdles, and she guided us through them effortlessly. Even prior to the sale, she sent us evaluations of our property and our neighborhood and its estimated value. My friends and relatives who have worked with Helen appreciate her expertise, professionalism, and patience.
