Erin Ward
Broker
Erins goal is for every one of her clients to look back on their home sale or purchase and feel like they got the best price, the best service and the best experience the real estate industry has to offer. She strives to make sure that all of her buyers identify a property that meets their full list of needs while assisting them through the whole buying process. All of the details that need attention are handled with her guidance to ensure a smooth closing and a positive buying experience. For her sellers, her goal is to make sure that their home sells for the most amount of money in the shortest amount of time possible. She does this by making sure the home shows in its optimal condition and is properly priced by assessing market value, and by ensuring that the marketing and advertising efforts are tailored specifically for the property being sold. At the end of the day, client satisfaction is her number one goal. This means returning calls and e-mails the same day, accommodating appointment requests and showings, and making sure all of the parties involved in the transaction have the information necessary to make every deal as smooth as possible from start to finish.
Erin has been consulting buyers and sellers through residential real estate transactions since February of 2001. Along with these years of experience, she was born and raised in the city, so she brings a strong broad-based knowledge of Chicago and its many neighborhoods to her business. Additionally, Erin has been a new construction expert serving on some of the most successful development teams in Chicago history, most recently Museum Park in Chicagos South Loop neighborhood. This broad range of experience allows her to constantly stay up to date on the all the micro-markets within Chicago so she can always have a pulse on the overall market. As her business has grown over the years, she has been fortunate enough to build a team of successful agents around her as well. This team environment allows her to handle a high volume of sales without compromising the high level of service she always provides to her clients. Whether you are a first time homebuyer, a CEO looking to sell your house, or a builder looking to buy land to develop, her team has the experience and knowledge to serve all of your real estate needs.
Erin covers many areas throughout Chicago and the outlying suburbs. She has conducted transactions as far south as Hyde Park, as far north as Evanston, and as far west as Oak Park and River Forest. She is also able to assist clients, their family members and friends who are moving out of the area by referring them to experts in their new communities.
As for additional expertise, she thinks it is important now more than ever that consumers have a real estate consultant with a firm grasp on technology and all it has to offer for both buyers and sellers. She tries to make sure that her buyers are set up on all of the popular real estate search engines and she makes sure her sellers listings have ultimate web exposure with additional advertising and marketing through platforms such as YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter.
Lastly, Erin is not just a transactional agent. When she begins working with a client, her first goal is to make sure they are pleased with the service they received from the start of the transaction until the closing. Once the deal closes, she makes sure that individual, couple or family knows that she cares about them as much as she cared about their real estate transaction. She does this by making sure she keeps in touch with clients through e-mails, gift giving throughout the year, client appreciation parties, fundraising for special causes, and periodic mailings with market updates, tips of the trade, and items which she feels will be valuable to all of her clients. Its about more than just the deal. Her clients know she values them as much as she values her business.

We are so grateful for her patience and knowledge of the market. She is really good at what she does and we will recommend her in the future.

"Erin Ward helped us back in 2003 to buy our first condo in the South Loop. Since then, we have sold our original condo, bought a larger one and purchased an investment property with her. Not only is she fun to work with, she is really knowledgable and honest. Even now, we call her about any questions we have regarding the market, refinances etc. and she is always able to give us sound advice. She is our real estate go to gal."

"I was referred to Erin by an associate in my law firm. My wife and I needed to sell our duplex in Roscoe Village and then purchase a single family home to give us some more space. She sold our duplex the first week on the market (in a multiple offer!) and helped us find a home in Ravenswood which we love. She was knowledgeable and really helped us thru both transactions. We couldnt have done it without her. We continue to recommend her to all of our friends and family."
