Active since 1978, Chris has recorded more $1M+ transactions in her market area than any other agent. A Sotheby's Award winner with an unrivaled knowledge of luxury North Shore real estate, she brings decades of excellence and deep client trust.
Chris Downey's name is synonymous with luxury real estate on Chicago's North Shore. Active in the market since 1978, she has achieved a distinction that no other agent in her territory can claim: the most $1 million-plus transactions of any agent in her market area. That record speaks to both her longevity and her consistent excellence at the highest levels of the business.
A recipient of the prestigious Sotheby's International Realty Award, Chris has been recognized nationally for her expertise in luxury residential sales. Her knowledge of the North Shore market is unrivaled — she has watched it evolve over nearly five decades and has been a driving force in many of the area's most significant transactions.
Chris's clients span the full spectrum of luxury real estate: from historic lakefront estates to modern architectural masterpieces, from first-time luxury buyers to seasoned collectors of fine properties. What unites them all is their trust in Chris's expertise, her discretion, and her unwavering commitment to achieving the best possible outcome.
After nearly half a century in the business, Chris could rest on her laurels — but that's not her style. She remains as active and engaged as ever, bringing the same passion and precision to each new client that she brought to her very first sale. Her longevity isn't just a function of time; it's a reflection of the relationships she builds and the results she delivers.
