“Cinny is a friend from college, and we reached out to her when we started looking for a house. Cinny jumped into the process immediately; asking what we were looking for, setting up house showings, and even finding extra houses that matched our criteria. Her ability to schedule the showings that would have the shortest route but still sufficient time to view the house is just incredible! She was always there for questions and had great connections (inspectors, lenders, contractors—you name it!). We toured a lot of houses and even lost a few bids, but Cinny always kept a positive attitude and kept us moving forward. We eventually found our perfect starter home, and we truly couldn’t have done it without her friendly attitude, professionalism, and knowledge. We’re also really grateful that the whole experience brought us even closer. We would 100% recommend Cinny, who is fluent in Cantonese, English and Mandarin, to anyone looking to buy or sell. She would be amazing on either side!”

“Laura Topp was recommended by a trusted friend, a friend whom I will trust even more after this experience. Laura is extremely knowledgeable, personable and very well connected in the real estate market. Laura and her team (including Becki, also very involved in my sale and purchase) went over and above to insure my then-current home was sold in a timely manner (it was a matter of days, in fact) and for the best possible price! As for my purchase, Laura connected me with not only public but also private listings, and I also found/ contracted for my new dream home within days. In addition to her knowledge, expertise and connections, Laura is also one of the kindest people have ever met; she made me feel valued and supported throughout this entire process. I would recommend Laura and her team in a heartbeat (I already have) and although I was not previously aware of BHHS, this company also has high ratings in my book because of Laura and Becki.”

“Larry is by far the most AMAZING Realtor. He was always very responsive to my calls, texts, request, etc. We built up such a great relationship through this crazy process, that even after we closed on our new home, he reached out to check on us. He is always looking to get the best deal for his clients. He is like family now to us and will always have his own seat next to the firepit in our backyard. I would DEFINETLY recommend Larry to anyone and everyone looking to buy or sell. AMAZING.. Can't say enough Great things about Larry.”

Learn more about what Gold Coast has to offer.

Gold Coast offers residents an upscale, walkable enclave with historic architecture, fine dining, boutique shopping, and verdant parks, all within easy reach of cultural amenities.

Gold Coast pairs Gilded Age grandeur with an easygoing, lakefront rhythm in the heart of Chicago. Historic mansions on tree-lined streets meet chic cafés and boutique storefronts, while the shoreline hums with runners and cyclists. Residents enjoy a five-minute shift from quiet residential blocks to the dining and nightlife of River North and Old Town, with the cultural draw of Streeterville and the green escape of Lincoln Park just beyond.

Days often start or end at Oak Street Beach, where the city’s skyline frames the sand and the Lakefront Trail; both are cared for by the Chicago Park District, which oversees amenities at Oak Street Beach and the expansive Lakefront Trail. A short stroll brings you to Washington Square Park, a pocket of calm with a literary legacy. Architecture buffs gravitate to the Charnley-Persky House, an essential stop for fans of Sullivan and Wright, while the International Museum of Surgical Science offers a wonderfully unexpected collection in a lakeside mansion.

Families value access to respected schools, including the neighborhood’s Ogden International School of Chicago and the nearby Latin School of Chicago. Commuting is straightforward with the CTA Red Line connecting the area to the Loop and beyond, making car-free living practical.

Whether you’re planning to buy or sell, Agent Pronto can introduce you to a top local real estate professional who knows Gold Coast inside and out.
