For Hinsdale native Kris Berger, real estate is a way of life. When a showing request comes in or a new listing pops on she springs into action ensuring clients don’t miss a single opportunity in this competitive market. With more than 25 years of experience and over $500 million in sales, Berger is the go-to source for real estate knowledge in the Western Suburbs and the city. With a degree in art and design, this creative professional is known for her ability to see the potential of a home and guide her clients through transactions. It’s no wonder she consistently places in the top tier of agents in Hinsdale and all of DuPage County.

What trends are you currently seeing in the real estate market, and how do you anticipate it evolving over the next year? How do you think the local real estate market differs from other regions in the U.S.?
The real estate market is constantly changing, and the rise of remote work has increased the demand for homes in suburban areas. People are looking for more space and a better quality of life away from the city. Currently, Hinsdale and the surrounding towns are experiencing historically low inventory at every level of pricing. Fortunately, my extensive experience in the industry and deep connections within the realtor community have contributed significantly to the successful outcomes my clients achieve.

What would you say is your key to success in this competitive market?
I am fortunate to work with clients at all levels—from first-time homebuyers to those in the luxury market. Regardless of the client’s level, I provide the same dedicated attention, ensuring a positive experience for everyone. These long lasting relationships have been a huge part of my success.

What are some of the most unique or standout properties you’ve ever worked with, and what made them so memorable?
I am thrilled to present one of the most unique and standout properties in town, a Benjamin Marshall-designed masterpiece located at the corner of Sixth and Park. Known for his work on The Drake Hotel in Chicago, Benjamin Marshall’s legacy is celebrated with Oak Street in Chicago now named Benjamin Marshall Way. This home exemplifies his incredible talent—showcasing intricate design, meticulous features, and exceptional construction. It is truly remarkable, and I am honored to bring this stunning property to market this coming spring.
