I recently had the pleasure of working with Linda on an extremely sensitive, difficult temporary housing placement as a result of damage to a high net worth client’s primary residence in Chicago. With these types of homeowner claims and placements, time is very often of the essence, and it is essential to provide rental housing options of like kind and quality to the policyholder. I had been unsuccessful in my own efforts, as well as the efforts of two other real estate agents, in locating suitable housing and/or negotiating terms that were mutually beneficial to the insurance company, the policyholder and the rental property owner. During my research, Linda’s name came up over and over as a resource with extensive knowledge of the market; as such, I contacted her and she immediately put my mind at ease, both with her understanding of the type of housing product, as well as the unique situation at hand. Linda was able to meet personally with my client and reassure her that together, they would work to find comfortable accommodations. Making an immediate connection with my client, Linda worked tirelessly and selflessly to do just that. She went far above and beyond what most other real estate agents/brokers are inclined to do and made this process as seamless as possible for all parties involved. It is rare in my industry to find a real estate professional of Linda’s caliber that I add to my limited network of high net worth/ultra high net worth vendors, and I consider her to be at the top of my list. Linda is a tremendous asset and resource.

Linda is a professional, she is hard working, honest, and will always have your best interest. We have bought several homes with her and are currently in the process of selling one. We would never consider having any other broker but Linda.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Linda Shaughnessy, I highly recommend her. Linda provides personal service and is directly involved from the start to finish and her writing and artistic background was evident in the presentation of our home. From the beautiful pictures to exceptional writing our home received immediate interest. She created a theme and a vision that raised our home above all the rest. When it came to purchasing our new home, Linda listened to our wish list and helped find the perfect home. She was extremely responsive, knowledgeable and an absolute pleasure to work with. Linda is a true professional.

Linda is both a wonderful real estate agent and woman. She has many interests and is super accommodating to work with. Making such a large decision like purchasing a new home, can be very stressful Linda assisted me every step of the way, supporting and being patient as I worked through the process and ultimately found the perfect place for me!

Linda has represented us in six real estate closings. She marketed and sold three of our multi million dollar properties, and guided us through the purchase of three Gold Coast properties. LInda's professional marketing and negotiating skills are only exceeded by her detailed follow through. Our friends have been grateful to us for our recommendation of Linda Shaughnessy.Lynn and Jim K. - Purchase and sale of E Lake Shore Drive co-ops and Astor Street penthouse
I do not know if I have expressed my immense respect and appreciation for everything you did to help me buy my condo last year, but it was most definitely a great experience. Hope all is well!!

Our family has known Linda for almost 15 years and, during that time, we’ve had the pleasure of having her assist us in purchasing and selling 3 different homes here in Chicago. Linda is the consummate agent and everything you want to have in someone who is helping you with such a major purchase/sale. She is incredibly knowledgeable of the area and trends in the local market, responsive and flexible regarding your needs, and open and honest about finding a home that best suits your family. Linda always goes above and beyond what is ‘required' and is the ultimate professional in how she handles the properties. In addition, she is known and respected by the other agents so her word carries a level of respect that just makes the entire process easier. Our family has also had the pleasure of becoming good friends with Linda, and her qualities as an outstanding agent carry over to that relationship, also. I am happy to resoundingly recommend Linda to anyone shopping for, or selling, their prized home here in Chicago!

Linda was so wonderful to work with and a true class act. I recommend her to anyone who is looking for property. She takes the time to get to know you and your tastes personally, so that together you can find the home for you. Her enthusiasm is infectious and her knowledge is limitless. I will be looking for her guidance once again when I decide to relocate.

Just spent a lovely hour on the phone with Ms. Shaughnessy. I called cold to ask her about co-ops vs. condos in Chicago (not from there) and she was simply AMAZING! I will be buying my next home with her, and every subsequent one thereafter. She is extremely generous with her time and knowledge. I recommend her highly.
