LUXURY REAL ESTATE EXPERT

CONNIE ANTONIOU was born to Greek-American parents with deep roots in the motion picture business. As a result, she was exposed to unique work and life experiences, including dining with such Hollywood icons as Sylvester Stallone and Donald O’Connor. Antoniou took her first job at age 11, popping popcorn for 50 cents an hour in her family’s movie theaters, a role that fostered a hard work ethic and a commitment to exceptional customer service. Today, this global real estate advisor and former broker-owner of two Sotheby’s International Realty offices has established herself as a trusted authority in luxury real estate—serving buyers and sellers throughout the suburban Chicago area and southeast Wisconsin. She got her start in the highly competitive Hinsdale market before achieving impressive milestones as the senior vice president of sales in Barrington with Jameson Sotheby’s International Realty. Her proven understanding of what high-profile buyers are looking for in luxury properties has allowed her to foster meaningful, long-term relationships with an elite clientele. She has represented Chicago Blackhawks players and coaches, and renowned entrepreneurs and executives, among many others throughout her impressive career.

Most rewarding part of what you do? By taking the time to understand my clients’ individual needs and preferences, I can tailor my approach to help them find the luxury home of their dreams. Whether it’s a sprawling estate nestled on the lush fairways of Wynstone, or an elegant residence overlooking the tranquil waters of Lake Zurich, I navigate the exclusive communities of Barrington and beyond. I find that all very rewarding.

Best piece of advice for anyone starting out? Always do the right thing for the client—not what is right for your pocket—and the rest will come. I’ve always believed that, and it has served me well.
