I’m Erin Poynton, a Broker Associate with Baird & Warner and founder of Homes by Erin. For more than 10 years, I’ve helped buyers and sellers across the western Chicago suburbs find the right next step—whether that’s a first home, a move-up, a downsize, a relocation, new construction, or the sale of a home they’ve loved for years.

From 2022 through 2026, I closed 92 homes totaling $34 million in sales. Those results come from preparation, clear communication, and treating every transaction like it matters.

I serve clients throughout DuPage, Will, Kendall, and Kane Counties, with convenient office locations in Plainfield and Naperville. Local knowledge is part of the job: neighborhoods, timing, pricing, and the details that never show up in a listing photo.

My work includes:

• Buyer and seller representation
• First-time home buyers
• Relocation
• Move-up buyers
• Downsizing / right-sizing
• New construction
• Residential real estate and investment opportunities

Buyers get a clear plan, honest guidance, and strong advocacy from search through closing. Sellers get pricing based on the current market, thoughtful preparation, and marketing that puts their home in the best position. Relocation, new construction, and right-sizing each come with different pressures. I help you navigate those without losing sight of the bigger goal.

What I hear most from clients is that they want someone who is responsive, straightforward, and truly in their corner. That’s the standard I work by. You’ll know where things stand, why a recommendation is being made, and what happens next.

Outside of real estate, my life is grounded in family, friends, and faith. I love dogs and animals, time outdoors, and music. Those values show up in how I work: with loyalty, honesty, and genuine care for the people I represent.

If you’re ready to buy, sell, or talk through your options, I’d be honored to help.
