The neighborhoods of Chicago’s North Shore and its surrounding communities offer a lifestyle rich in history, cultural activities and recreational opportunities. Ranging from Evanston, home to the ivy-covered campus of Northwestern University, to the shoreline beauty of Highland Park, to the quiet residential neighborhoods of Deerfield, every one of these cities has a distinctive character and flavor. It’s no wonder that so many people are looking for homes in this area.
Having lived and sold real estate on the North Shore for over 25 years, I am uniquely qualified to help you find the right home. I know the ins and outs of these neighborhoods, and I understand that buying a home involves more than just selecting a floor plan and architectural style. It’s also about choosing schools, a reasonable commute, having parks, shopping and dining close at hand, and neighbors who welcome you. It’s my job, as well as my pleasure, to help find a home that exceeds your expectations.
If you’re selling your North Shore home, you can rely on my years of experience to market your home to local buyers who are looking to move up as well as people making long distance moves. I use the most technologically advanced marketing tools available to make sure your home’s listing reaches potential buyers as well as all the agents working in the vicinity.
Ready to start your North Shore home search? Start by contacting me, Janie Bress, at (847) 217-7144 or email, and let me introduce you to the communities I know so well.

“I cannot recommend Janie highly enough. We found Janie a pleasure to work with and her knowledge of the real estate market was outstanding. She was incredibly patient as a home that matched our needs (and desires) and price range was not easy to find. She continued to search, and even though it took a very long time and the viewing of many houses she never made us feel that we should compromise even a little bit. She is exceptionally thorough, attentive to detail, and helpful with the myriad of details that must be taken care of. Even after she had showed us houses for months, she helped us to see the negatives in houses we looked at. We are about to move into the perfect house for us, and we are so grateful to Janie for her help and her wise counsel. “

She presents herself as very professional, forward thinking and highly motivated to help her clients sell their particular property or find their dream home…. What sets Janie apart from most Brokers is her keen sense of knowing how to listen to her client’s needs, concerns, worries and financial limitations, understand what is important to them and then find a solution and a pathway that will work for them.

“We found Janie to be the perfect agent for our family. She was incredibly responsive to our needs and requests as both a buyer’s agent and a seller’s agent. She helped find us the perfect home for our needs and guided us through the negotiation process to get the best price. Several years later when we needed to sell, she brought a great deal of market experience and knowledge to bear in the marketing of our unique older home. We were very happy with her high level of involvement in our sales process and her thoughtful suggestions for garnering the best possible results. We would recommend her, without hesitation, to work on either side of a transaction.”

Janie was not only our broker, but she also became our friend and our teacher. She took the time to teach us all the little things we didn’t know about owning a home. She genuinely cared about us.

She was aware of properties that met our requirements as soon as they came on the market and arranged to get that information to us immediately. She made her schedule fit ours so it was always convenient for us to see properties, even when we wanted to visit them multiple times, and we visited a lot of properties. She counseled us on local property values, provided comps to substantiate the values and provided moral support during the negotiation process.

“I have known and done business with Janie for over 20 years…I highly recommend her! She has always been so kind and helpful. She goes out of her way to help her clients meet their goals. She presents herself as very professional, forward thinking and highly motivated to help her clients sell their particular property or find their dream home…. What sets Janie apart from most Brokers is her keen sense of knowing how to listen to her client’s needs, concerns, worries and financial limitations, understand what is important to them and then find a solution and a pathway that will work for them. You feel like her only client and a good friend when you’re with her.”

Her commitment to us and understanding of our needs was critical when we were buying our house. She was always available as we looked at a number of listings and would point out things for us to consider for our family. Janie’s biggest asset to us was her professionalism and experience.

We’ve worked with her for more than 10 years, and she’s supported us through the offer and negotiation process. Once when we submitted a contract to buy a house and then changed our mind, Janie remained patient and supportive, and immediately came back with more houses to look at. We think she’s the best, and would recommend her to anyone.”

We both work over 60 hours a week and have a 1 year old which made our time very limited. Janie was always available with short notice and she responded to our many emails very quickly. When we viewed homes, she pointed out all things, both good and bad, and she even kept an eye on our curious son who enjoyed showing her that he could climb up and down all of the stairs. Janie was not only our broker, but she also became our friend and our teacher. She took the time to teach us all the little things we didn’t know about owning a home. She genuinely cared about us. Janie really knows what she’s doing and we never second guessed her. She helped us find the perfect home for our expanding family. Thank you, Janie!”

“Too often people complain about someone or something. This letter, however, portrays the merits of my real estate broker, Janie Bress. Janie has been my agent for over 25 years and has always made me feel confident and stress free. As a professional she gives more than 100%. Recently, she gave above and beyond the duties of a real estate agent. A few weeks ago, I needed emergency eye surgery. Janie volunteered to drive me to the doctor’s office and then to the hospital. She later picked up my medicine and called daily to see how I was doing. This shows the compassion Janie has for others. She is an outstanding human being as well as a professional. “

When we moved to make an offer on one property, then a second, Janie drew on her expertise to formulate competitive but distinctly different offers for the two different properties we bid on. She ensured we got the property we wanted and guided us every step of the way, even down to giving us all the info needed to set up utilities in our new home. We are extremely happy in our new home.”

“Janie Bress was introduced to us by our son and daughter-in-law when they were purchasing their first home. She was so in sync with our children and their needs, that when we sold our home, she was the first one we thought of to call. We were never sorry. Finding our condo was a laborious feat, since we had a frustrating 1½ years of waiting to sell our home. Janie honed in on exactly what we were looking for and patiently showed us just about every property available as they came up within that time frame. She was knowledgeable, honest in her opinions, stayed within our price range, organized, and responsive. We were always made to feel like we were her only clients. I hope we never have to move again, but if we do, she will, once more, be our first call.”

I have bought homes in multiple states and the UK and she outshines everyone I have worked with hands down. Janie took the time to understand my needs, educate me on the area and likely matches – never pushed, was always supportive. She helped place me in an apartment that was like a resort while we waited (10 months) for the right home to come to market. The result: I am living in my dream home!

“Janie was terrific from the start of our search through the closing, and even beyond. She helped us define the type of property we were looking for and then helped us refine that definition as we proceeded through our search. She was familiar with all the communities we had targeted and knowledgable of others that she thought would meet our requirements. She was aware of properties that met our requirements as soon as they came on the market and arranged to get that information to us immediately. She made her schedule fit ours so it was always convenient for us to see properties, even when we wanted to visit them multiple times, and we visited a lot of properties. She counseled us on local property values, provided comps to substantiate the values and provided moral support during the negotiation process. I can’t imagine how any real estate professional could have been more helpful and accommodating.”
