DAVE + AMY CHUNG

Dave and Amy Chung are a real estate team within Compass’s Winnetka office. Partners in life and in business, Dave and Amy have a diverse professional background and love providing exceptional service to their clients. Specialists in residential real estate throughout the North Shore, this husband-and-wife team lives with their two children in East Wilmette.

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.?
We continue to see extremely low inventory in our local market and don’t anticipate a meaningful shift in the near or medium term. Our market is highly localized, which means national trends and even Chicagoland patterns don’t always align with what’s happening on the North Shore. While national headlines can provide context, the hyperlocal data and on-the-ground experience are what matters most to local buyers and sellers. Understanding these nuances allows us to provide our clients with the most relevant insights and strategies.

What would you say is your key to success in this competitive market?
In an ultracompetitive market, it’s critical to have a deep understanding of both the buying and selling sides of the transaction. Because we represent a balanced mix of buyers and sellers, we stay keenly attuned to what buyers are looking for and what sellers prioritize. This insight gives our clients an edge—whether it’s helping buyers craft the most compelling offers or advising sellers on how to position their homes for maximum appeal. Our ability to navigate both sides of the transaction ensures our clients have a strategic advantage in any market condition.

How do you ensure that your personal brand stands out in such a crowded and competitive real estate space?
We focus on making our brand unmistakable in every aspect of what we do, but it’s most evident in our listings. From the curated staging—sourced from our own inventory—to top-tier photography, videos, and marketing, every Dave + Amy listing is instantly recognizable. Both consumers and agents know the quality, consistency, and attention to detail that come with our properties. More than just aesthetics, we aim to create an exceptional experience for our clients and consumers, ensuring that our brand reflects the professionalism, expertise, and dedication we bring to every transaction.
