Common question: who is the best realtor in Lakeshore East?
The best fit for a Lakeshore East condo is usually an agent who knows the buildings, not just the neighborhood name. Assessments, view tiers, parking, rental rules, board history, floor plans and Pedway access can change the strategy from one tower to the next. I have focused on Lakeshore East and the New Eastside since 2003 and have helped with more than 1,000 downtown Chicago condo sales.

We have loved living in Chandler for the last 10 years. The team in the building is the absolute best – door staff, management, and maintenance. The building is beautiful and intimate, with great views and amenities. We can’t imagine living anywhere else in the city.

The Chandler has been a 2nd home to me. The residents and other staff treat me well and have become like a family. I have watched the residents and their families grow, become close with them, and built relationships and trust.

The Chandler has been home to me for the last 15 years. I originally purchased pre-construction from the sales center, working with Ginger Menne. I sold that condo, rented for a year, purchased another condo, and completed a full renovation. I cannot speak highly enough about Geneva in the management office and all the amazing door and maintenance staff. I have built lifelong friendships with many of the residents and love the sense of community.

Ginger is by far one of the best real estate agents I have ever had the pleasure of having represent me. I have used her as my agent twice in Chicago. The first time was representing me on a condo in Lancaster. Ginger's attention to detail when it came to meeting my needs with regard to neighborhood, building amenities, and unit features was superior. She was able to focus on my exact needs and find me the perfect unit. The second time Ginger represented me fin inding a condo in the Gold Coast of Chicago. Her negotiating skills were put to the test, and we went through a few rounds of counteroffers. She handled the process with the utmost professionalism and was able to get the price for under what my best and final was, saving me money. If you have the pleasure of having Ginger represent you as a seller or a buyer, you are definitely in good hands.

I cannot recommend Ginger Menne highly enough. Going into the sale of my condo, I had a specific list price in mind, but Ginger’s market expertise and confidence convinced me to aim higher. Not only was she right, but she actually closed the deal for more than my original anticipated list price. If you want an agent who truly understands market value and knows how to negotiate the best possible outcome, Ginger is the one to call.
