I strive to exceed expectations by offering an unparalleled level of service with deep market knowledge, staging assistance, one-of-a-kind marketing, process expertise and strong negotiation skills.

What do you love most about this industry?

No two days are the same and while time and years bring experience, no two transactions are ever the same as the key parties involved are constantly changing. My motto when working with buyers is that looking at homes is never a waste of time. It serves as preparation so when the right home hits the market you will know it and can move quickly.

Billie Diamond with @properties Christie’s International Real Estate

I am a real estate broker with @properties in the Glencoe office. For the past 19 years, I have used my expertise and passion for real estate throughout Chicago and the North Shore with the purpose of turning what can be a stressful and confusing process into a pleasant and hopefully fun experience. I do this with both a positive and enthusiastic attitude, and an expertise in the market and roster of go-to specialists for all the little (and big) things that come up.

Anyone can find a home through the Internet – that part’s easy. But in this current market, where inventory is incredibly low, and buyers and sellers are finding their footing in a post pandemic market, you really need to work with a seasoned expert to help navigate the process. I also work to create success for my clients by helping them with the often underestimated aspects of real estate like – getting it at the right price by successfully negotiating, making the right improvements to maximize your value – and then having a wide variety of top-notch vendors (inspectors, lenders, lawyers, a painter, a hardwood floor guy, contractors, etc.) that can make the transaction run smoothly. Your home is so personal, and such a major transaction – so my clients are partnering with me to help them maximize their value and minimize their stress and effort.

I strive to provide the highest level of service, putting my clients at ease, and helping them avoid hidden costs that can quickly turn what looks like a great deal into a bad one.

Where do you personally live and what do you love about your town?

I live in Glencoe and I love the strong sense of community and small town feel. I enjoy bumping into people I know when I run errands and pop into stores. It feels very safe for my kids to independently cruise around town and the schools are simply wonderful.

What are 1-2 fun facts about to know about you?

I was the first girl born on my dad’s side of the family in 97 years. I have two older brothers and they still named me Billie!

What do you love most about this industry?

At the end of the day it’s a relationships business. I thrive on the trust and success I create for my clients and pride myself on making what can be a stressful process seamless and fun.
