Raised in a real estate family and shaped by a career in luxury hospitality at the Four Seasons Hotel Chicago, Coco Harris brings expertise, creativity, and genuine care to every client relationship. She is known for her honest advice, strong advocacy, and personalized service, helping buyers and sellers navigate the process with confidence while making every experience as rewarding as the outcome.
Coco's sales career began at the Four Seasons Hotel Chicago, where she honed strong communication and negotiating skills working with clients as diverse as her markets — from managing corporate travel programs for major financial institutions to coordinating a long-term stay for a celebrity filming in Chicago. Multitasking and meeting everyone's needs became second nature.
Raised in a real estate family and married to John, whose family owned a successful wholesale furniture business, it's no surprise that all conversation eventually leads to talk of the home. After spending 12 years working alongside her husband in his showroom at Chicago's Merchandise Mart, the transition into real estate was natural. Whether working with homeowners or buyers, Coco's clients can count on her to listen, deliver an unparalleled level of service, and bring a creative eye that helps buyers visualize how to turn a house into a home — and helps sellers better position theirs for sale.
Coco approaches each situation with honesty, integrity, and a sense of humor. She offers deep market knowledge, staging assistance, one-of-a-kind marketing, and strong negotiation skills. Buying and selling a home shouldn't be intimidating — she works hard to make it a fun experience too.
A Chicagoland resident since 1995, Coco settled in Wilmette in 2002 because it reminded her of her Connecticut roots. She's been deeply involved in the community ever since — from chairing the parent board at her children's nursery school to serving on the Board of Directors for the New Trier Booster Club. When she's not working, you'll find her walking her dog Kingston along Sheridan Road, reading at Gillson Beach, in a yoga class, or traveling with her husband and two sons.

Coco has been our realtor on both the buy and sell side on Chicago's North Shore and exceeded all expectations! She went above and beyond and worked tirelessly to make sure our needs were met. Coco always kept us in the loop and demonstrated a solid understanding of the market. We can't imagine working with anyone else and highly recommend her!
Coco Harris helped us purchase a home in Winnetka during our relocation from Connecticut. From the get-go, we knew we were in the best of hands. Coco's level of service is unmatched. Truly. Once our deal was signed, she continuously followed up with us to ensure we were making connections and feeling at home, long after we closed.
We had the pleasure of working with Coco and April on the sale of our home in Wilmette. Coco and April priced the home right, hand-held us through the process, were very easy to work with — responsive, knowledgeable, and appropriately tenacious — and ultimately sold our house very quickly in a difficult market environment.
Coco was an absolute pleasure to work with during our home purchase. She has a thorough understanding of the local market and was able to utilize her expertise to get us into the best homes before other prospective buyers. She always presented her ideas and feedback in a thoughtful and professional manner.
Coco was professional and patient in finding a home that matched our style and needs. Because she took the time to get to know us, she was able to offer great insight and suggestions that helped us weigh our decisions. It was a great pleasure to work with Coco Harris.
Coco is wonderful. She gave us sound advice on getting the house ready — was firm where she needed to be, even when I didn't want to take that advice. Our goal was a quick sale. Coco offered sound advice on pricing, resulting in the quick sale we were after.
Coco was excellent, start to finish. Her advice throughout the process proved to be correct every step of the way. At one point we were ready to compromise and she suggested we stick to our ask. In the end she was correct, showing us that she had our best interests in mind and not simply getting the deal done. We would highly recommend her to anyone.
My husband and I feel so fortunate that we had Coco Harris as our agent. Working with Coco feels like working with a close friend; someone who takes the time to learn your wants and needs and truly keeps your best interests at the forefront. Coco's knowledge of the suburban market is extensive. We would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell.
We feel very lucky to have found this house and there is no way it could have happened without Coco. From our very first day touring together she listened and counseled. Her advice has been invaluable every step of the way. She was open, thoughtful, considerate, flexible, diligent and fun. We can't thank her enough.
I can't say enough about Coco's professionalism, responsiveness, and extensive knowledge of the real estate industry and the communities she serves. This was my first investment property purchase and she made sure I always had a resource for all my questions. Always firm, but fair. Coco continues to be a valuable resource even after the deal was done.
She made a difficult relocation process so much easier and really went the distance for us in negotiations with a seller's agent who was difficult. Coco worked her network and helped us figure out the sellers didn't share the agent's worries about our offer. So valuable!
Simply put — Coco was incredible. She is so knowledgeable about the area, friendly, kind and supportive in our search. She was excellent in her negotiating and we knew that she had our best interests at heart. I would highly recommend Coco to anyone who wants to sell their home or buy a new one.
