With over 30 years of experience guiding clients through the Chicago real estate market and many 5 star online reviews, I bring both deep expertise and genuine care to every relationship. My passion for Chicago and its many distinctive neighborhoods is evident in the guidance I strive to provide the best real estate experience at every step.
I work with all sorts of clients from first-time buyers, move up sellers, empty nesters, relocation and seniors and their families navigating the emotional side of downsizing or making moves to senior living spaces. I am highly accessible, responsive, and trusted for my clear perspective—qualities my clients consistently value during what can be a complex and emotional process.
My commitment to my clients doesn’t end at the closing table. The lasting relationships I build are reflected in the strong referral business I continue to receive and send from past clients and my national agent referral network who confidently reach out to me.
I hold the Accredited Buyer’s Representative (ABR), Certified Residential Specialist (CRS), and Senior Real Estate Specialist (SRES) designations. I have been a licensed broker since 1997 and am a member of the Illinois, Chicago, and National Associations of REALTORS®.
A market savvy and client focused professional!
I chose Helen because I knew I could count on her knowledge of the market as well as the neighborhoods of Chicago. She was incredibly knowledgeable throughout the entire process and always made me feel confident in her ability to address any questions or concerns I had. In fact, any question, concern, or issue that came up was addressed immediately. She was unbelievably responsive throug...
Helen was a life saver. Honestly , we can't imagine how we would ever have navigated all of the ins and outs. Our dear friend referred her to us and from the moment we met her we knew this is who we were going to work with. We were selling a condo in my husband's family so we also had to some how learn how to deal with probate and selling the condo. But, Helen saved the day! Her knowledg...
We couldn’t recommend Helen Sobel more highly. We felt so fortunate to have such an enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and friendly advocate. We were especially appreciative of her initiative in connecting us with needed renovation professionals. Her experience, knowledge, and expertise with the real estate market in the area was critical in helping us secure the property. Especially notable...
Helen is incredibly knowledgeable in her field. She has represented our family twice as a buyer and once as a seller. When we were the buyers, she took the time to understand the needs of our family; we never felt rushed into any decisions and she always selected properties that fit our needs. Most recently when Helen represented us as sellers, she was forthcoming in the new real estate ...
We have used Helen Sobel as our agent for many real estate transactions, selling and buying properties. She is a true professional and knows the real estate business.

I can't say enough about how helpful and experienced Helen was in coordinating the preparation and sale of the property.
Helen was a dream to work with! Being out of state buyers, we had to rely on Helen to be our eyes on the ground in Chicago, and she went to some showings herself and recorded videos to share with us. We appreciated all her patience in us learning the market in Chicago and her honesty on pricing, renovations, repairs, etc. Helen is very knowledgeable about all things real estate and housi...
Helen is the best of the best. There are not enough good things I can say about what a great job she does for her clients and what a kind, nice person she is overall. I used Helen for my first home purchase and came back to her when I decided to sell years later. She walked me through every detail and no question was too silly. I really appreciated her attention to making sure I felt com...
Working with Helen as our agent was easily the best decision we could have made as first-time homebuyers.

I was never pressured to follow her advice, yet trusted her explicitly given her experience and knowledge of the market. I have no reservations about referring her to anyone at al...
I was introduced to Helen Sobel through my coworker who helped their purchase, and was told Helen is highly knowledgeable and has great attention-to-detail in real estate purchase. This turned out to be more than true. She assisted in listing and selling of my original residence, and buying of another residence within the timeframe of 6 months. She has demonstrated her excellent knowledg...
Helen was excellent and stuck with us for the long term until we were able to find the right home. This included driving us to many many tours and negotiating through a complex situation in the sale, working with our lender, attorneys and seller's agent!
Helen is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and supportive when it comes to helping her clients find and purchase their home. We are so grateful to have worked with her and have her alongside us during our home-buying journey!
Helen did a great job selling my apartment! Highly recommend!
We’ve worked with Helen twice now (five years ago as first-time homebuyers and our most recent venture selling and buying) and we’re impressed by her knowledge and professionalism. Helen took on our sell during a difficult time as interest rates hiked and worked tirelessly to move our home. She walked us through the selling and buying experience beautifully and provided us with all t...
Helen is THE ABSOLUTE best. Period. We trusted to work with her from out of state and so glad we did!!! She is the most thorough, professional and geniune out there.

There is not a more willing and prepared to ”get it done” real estate agent than Helen Sobel. From our 1st encounter towards purchasing a condo to the final handshake at closing, Helen researched, kept us informed, updated, and walked us through the entire process. She went the extra miles it took to work with us as an out of state buyer as well. Videos, measurements, recommendations...
Helen is absolutely fantastic, and we recommend her highly with no reservations. She has been our agent for two separate condo purchases. She knows the market and is clearly well regarded by other agents. Her hands-on approach ensured that the sales transactions went smoothly, and she was always readily accessible to answer any questions we may have had. Based on her experience in the in...

Another great experience with Helen Sobel ! She continues to deliver excellent service. This was our 3rd real estate purchase using Helen as our representative. She’s fantastic ! A very sharp agent that has her finger in the pulse of Chicago real estate. Our recent purchase of a larger condo at 1555 Dearborn last was complicated by competing interests. Helen managed our offer, met ou...
As a first time buyer, I needed help. Helen Sobel was a teacher and leader who helped me navigate the process from start to finish. Not just showing me places, Helen pointed out property features, good and bad, that taught me to spot places that would work for me. Helen patiently worked with me as my search criteria and area evolved, and was always at the ready, putting me in touch with ...
Incredibly attentive and responsive, knows the market inside and out, great balance of both giving you her recommendations and letting you proceed with your own decisions, thorough, and consistent - she was there with me through the entire process.

Helen always provided us with multiple options and kept our head above water when things never went in our favor (especially during the pandemic). With her skill se...
This is the third time we have worked with Helen and we keep using her services because she is outstanding. She is a terrific but does so much more that a typical agent. She supported my wife and I and addressed tasks and issues that were above and beyond the typical scope of an agent. She knows the market exceptionally well, she negotiates well and she keeps the client abreast of all th...
Helen is an amazing realtor. As a first time buyer, I had no clue what to do or what I was supposed to do and Helen guided me through every step and was watching my back the whole time. If I could give her 10,000 stars I would
I sold my condo from out of state and needed a realtor to go the extra mile since I couldn’t be there in person. Helen went above & beyond to help take care of everything for me. From repairs to dealing with a demanding condo association and all the little things in between she handled it all, and most importantly got the condo sold quickly.
I highly recommend Helen Sobel as your real estate agent if you want someone with extensive knowledge, professionalism, and an easy-going nature. I am thrilled to add my positive experience to Helen’s many client reviews. I’ve purchased fourteen properties over three decades and have suffered from inexperienced agents. So I did my homework and read dozens of agent reviews, but found ...
Helen's expertise was standalone! I was always confident when walking into any potential home knowing Helen was there to assist me through the process. This includes pointing out details that I would have missed along the way. Helen assisted me with selling my condo and purchasing my dream home in the middle of a pandemic! Her service is unmatched and highly recommended!
I can't say enough about how great Helen is to work with. She was referred to us by a friend of ours, and it felt like we were working with a friend from the very beginning. Helen was the ultimate pro - professional, responsive, prompt, and always pleasant. She provided her honest opinion on all the properties we looked at and helped guide us through a difficult closing when we found the...

5 stars! 2 thumbs up! 10/10 would recommend! Helen was extremely helpful throughout the entire home buying process for me and my family. She was very hands on and would always push the needle. In many cases she seemed to be able to execute her job responsibilities with ease as well as the role of others involved in the process. More than anything, Helen provided excellent professional as...
Helen helped us find our first home as a married couple, and we are so very grateful for her patience and knowledge of the market. But most importantly she took time to find out what we were looking for in a home. She matched what we wanted to a perfect house.

Helen is fantastic. As first time home buyers we were new to the process; she helped us navigate the stress and uncertainty of the process with calm and grace. She was 100% responsive to our goals and schedule. We never felt pressure from her on our decision making process, but when third parties were slow to communicate and we were in danger of missing our closing date she proactively g...
Helen is a consummate professional who provided outstanding service as I sold my mother’s home following her death. Helen marketed the home beautifully. As I was out-of-state, Helen communicated well with me, advising me through to the closing. The sale was remarkably quick and the price received for the house was higher than I expected. I recommend Helen without reservation!
Helen's expertise and knowledge was very evident from the start of our process to closing. When we met Helen almost a Year ago, we knew we wanted 3 bedrooms in Hyde Park but we knew little else, having not spent a lot of time in the neighborhood. Helen was very helpful (and patient) in guiding us through out options and getting us narrowed down to what area of Hyde Park best suited us. H...
OMG, Helen was Amazing! She explained the whole process to me and she was constantly in contact with me.

We couldn’t be happier. Helen comes with many years of experience in this industry (over 20+, if I’m correct). She would tell us which properties to consider and which not to, based on her knowledge of the properties, areas, and our needs. Our search took the entire summer. And every step of the way, Helen was on top of it, sending us properties, scheduling showings, always on time, ...

I was a first-time home buyer that worked with Helen to purchase the condo of my dreams! She explained the entire process, was always responsive, and was an absolute pleasure to work with.
Helen was wonderful to work with ! We were first referred to her 2 years ago by another friend who she assisted in his purchase of a downtown condo. When we met Helen, she took us out in search of our own home after a cold blizzard had blown through the city. She was very informative and patient with us during our experience. Our situation was confounded by our having to travel to Chic...
I originally worked with Helen 5 years ago on the purchase of a condo. When it came time to sell the condo and buy a house, I had no question who my realtor would be. Helen is patient, reponsive, and knows her stuff! When it comes time for an offer, she will guide you to the best realistic offer, whether you are the buyer or the seller. We are planning to stay put for a while but if I'm ...

Helen understands the Chicago market and knows how to drive property traffic. She is very professional , knowledgeable and on top of every aspect of the sale.
My fiance and I are first time home buyers. We were new to the whole process and a little overwhelmed. It did not help that we had two previous realtors who were little to no help in our search. We found Helen through Zillow as a recommended realtor for the area. Right from the beginning she was helpful and provided us more information than we asked from her. She even met us at the first...
We could not have asked for a better realtor and all-around advocate than Helen. As first-time buyers, we loved her negotiation skills, her honesty in providing opinions on the various places we saw, and her dedication to making sure we found the right place. And we found that right place all thanks to her efforts. I highly recommend Helen!
Very professional and knowledgeable broker. We worked with her when looking at condominiums in Chicago. She was familiar with all of the buildings. Very responsive to our requests.
Helen is an 'AWESOME' realtor. She sold our home for the asking price. She walked us through what to expect from start to finish. She went well beyond what the job description entails and totally exceeded our expectations. She was easily reachable and always followed up promptly. We definitely plan to use her services in the future and would highly recommend her to other sellers/buyers. ...
Helen guided us through the purchase of two condos and the sale of one. We found her to be friendly, professional, and knowledgable, She went the extra mile to help us find just the type of place we wanted and also to sell at a reasonable price within a reasonable amount of time.

Helen was our agent when we sold our home in Lakeview. She has local knowledge. She returned phone calls promptly and we received a great offer on our home. She is just a great agent to do your deal !
I purchased my home last summer and had it not been for Helen, who knows what disaster I would have come across. My initial property fell apart due to mortgage company issues and she was great at giving me advice that benefitted me first and foremost. When that property did not work, she quickly moved with me to find others and I found my current home in a matter of days. I love the home...
Helen is an outstanding real estate professional. She was patient with me on my search for my perfect home, was incredibly helpful with negotiations, and made sure the home buying process was as smooth as it could have been.

Great agent. Made the home buying process a pleasure. Helen has patience and the knowledge of the real estate business and that's what makes her one of the best agents out there today.
Helen has represented me twice, and I have been very impressed. She knows the Chicago market very well, and she has complete mastery of the process. Perhaps more importantly, she has immense patience. For the first time buyer, she is simply extraordinary. My highest recommendation!
An out-of-state friend of ours, who is also a realtor, did some digging to find an agent for us in our area with the best credentials and reputation. Our friend certainly delivered! We were instantly impressed with Helen’s knowledge of the Chicagoland area and her keen eye for detail. A number of homes we looked at were old (50 to 100 years), Helen pointed out many pros and cons to us....
Helen is an absolute professional with true passion for her work. I initially sought her services out to find tenants for rental and am now working with her to buy a home.

Helen Sobol was fantastic to work with on the recent sale of my condo from the beginning of the process months before I listed it through the closing.

Helen is a warm caring agent. She did a fabulous job showing and selling my property. I had contacted Helen before the pandemic. She alone sent me a thank you note which indicated to me her appreciation for the job and I knew she would be wonderful. I would recommend her with all the kudos possible. Thank you Helen. Joe
Selling my place was a roller coaster and Helen “held my hand” the entire ride. Her positivity, reassurance and work ethic went above and beyond the job. I’m thankful to have had someone with her confidence, patience, knowledge and expertise from listing to closing!
It was a real pleasure to work with Helen ! In a fraction of a second she accepted to "jump on my case" and was so efficient that my apt even didn't go on the market. She found right away the right buyer for it and the process went super smoothly and efficiently. I knew nothing about the process of selling an apt and thanks to her, everything was taken care of. Please work with her !

We never felt pressure from her on our decision making process, but when third parties were slow to communicate and we were in danger of missing our closing date she proactively g...
Helen is a real great person to work with. She was very prompt in returning calls and emails during the entire home selling process. She reached out and got answers to all of my questions about the property I sell. Also, she was on time for every appointment. It was a very pleasant home sell experience. I would really recommend Helen if someone is looking for a home or sell a home.
Helen is a complete go getter when it comes to selling or buying a home. She is honest and caring throughout the entire process.
I was fortunate to have found Helen back in 2012. As my realtor, she has walked me through the renting and selling experience of my condo. Helen was patient and she always answered every call. Her knowledge, honesty and genuine interest are much appreciated.
Helen helped us buy a home. She is a fantastic agent and was a pleasure to work with! I always felt that she had our best interests at heart and didn't just tell us 'what we wanted to hear.' I highly recommend!

I have purchased 2 homes and rented one out with the professionals at Baird & Warner. My sister, parents, and friends have made purchases as well. Helen Soble is a joy to work with! I know I can count on Helen and Baird & Warmer for my questions/concerns pertaining to real estate & investment properties.

Helen is so good at what she does -- not only was she tireless and cheerful during a search that went on for many months, but she shared so much knowledge about building systems and construction materials, offering me advice about the financial realities of owning a home and the cost of potential future projects. Not only did Helen find me to a beautiful place to live, she took my financ...
I couldn't have worked with a more reliable, accommodating, professional yet warm, knowledgeable, and go-the-extra-mile real estate agent than Helen Sobel. This was a long-distance real estate deal between different times zones, but Helen was always attainable and/or responsive in short time. Helen was patient and thorough in helping me understand the various aspects of the real estate p...
Helen was great. This was a rental property and Helen continued to show it and have open houses without our intervention. This was what we needed. My guess is she will be as attentive to you as you need and will always be attentive to making the sale.
Helen Sobel was great to work with. She took excellent pictures and promptly had it all posted and up and running AND RENTED in 2 days!
Helen is the best. I have worked with her for almost 20 years on many transactions and she always super knowledgeable, pantient and keeps your best interests priority
Helen went above and beyond the call to get to know us, the neighborhood, and all of the intricacies of our home. It was delightful working with her and we look forward to staying in touch!
Helen did an amazing job with the sale of my home. There were several showings and even offers for lower amounts that she did not encourage me to take. She really cared about getting the right price for my home and helped me stay patient through the process and wait for the right offer, which was even more than the asking price. I would highly recommend Helen to everyone!
Helen was super - Really got what we needed - helpful with other non-Realtor questions too! Highly recommend!

A colleague recommended Helen after a bad experience with another real estate agent. Helen is fabulous and is in fact perfect. She knew all the right questions to ask to help us narrow our search, which was especially useful for first-time home buyers new to the Chicago area. Helen has an amazing knowledge of Chicago and serves a wide variety of clients. When we ended up deciding to rent...
Helen was very patient with us and helped us find a wonderful home, we couldn't be happier with her services. Rachel Nador and Josh Criz
I choose Helen because of her reputation for excellent service and ability to sell my home for the highest price and quickly. Judith Cullen
Helen was terrific through the entire search process. We were 1st time home buyers and Helen educated us with what we needed to know when purchasing. Our experience wouldn't have been as successful & smooth without her assistance. Ryan & Nicole Romero
I know it sounds cliché, but Helen knows her business. I wouldn't call anyone else for my Chicago area real estate needs. She is very knowledgeable, professional, and extremely comfortable to work with. Brad Blevins
Helen Sobel was a god send. She worked extremely hard in finding us our ideal house and was thorough, patient and extremely supportive. We looked at several properties, made several offers and took a great deal of her time both during and off work hours. I would and will recommend her to anyone I know in need of a Real Estate Agent. Prior to Helen we had worked with and moved on fro...
