A Founding Advisor at Engel & Völkers Chicago North Shore and a Licensed Partner and Managing Broker at Engel & Völkers Shoreline, Carly began her career as a litigation attorney. As a residential broker, she is uniquely positioned to advocate on behalf of her clients, ensuring they get the level of service, expertise, and results they deserve.

Why do you love what you do? I love the combination of using my legal knowledge and personal skills to help clients find their dream homes.

Highlight of your 2020 volume? I had just over $4.6 million in volume during the pandemic and have kept the momentum going with an additional $1.525 million under contract at the end of 2020 to close in 2021.

What sets you apart from your competition? I always push myself to do more, be the best I can be, and make goals that are lofty because if you don’t try, you can never succeed. Also, having been a litigator and still having a law license, I bring a different perspective to the transactions.

Best thing about 2020 was? Having dinner with my family almost every night.

What is the first thing you tell your clients? We are working together as a team.

Favorite mantra? Life is what you make of it.

Most looking forward to in 2021? Continuing to grow my business on the North Shore and Chicago and opening the new shop in Michigan serving the Southwest Coast of Michigan.
