John Spieske Esq.

Broker

I am a real estate broker with over a decade of experience focused on representing fiduciaries in selling and buying estate-held residential properties and have closed over 100 fiduciary transactions. As a licensed attorney and former counseling and negotiation professor, I bring a unique set of skills to this specialized area. 

I represent both individual and institutional clients. I regularly work with The Northern Trust, First Midwest Bank (now Old National), Arboretum Wealth Management, FNBC and Devon Bank, as well as various law firms. I have represented my fiduciary clients on a wide range of properties.  I have sold properties in 2550 N Lakeview, 100 E Huron, 1555 N Astor, 1530 N State Parkway, as well as led the acquisition of millions of dollars of investment properties.  

I place great value and pride in the relationships I have built with my clients. For my fiduciary clients, the trust that they place in me extends to their professional relationships for which their practices and livelihoods depend. They are trusting me to honor their clients’ needs (transactional and emotional), the needs of the judges before whom the cases are pending (and who sometimes assign them new estates / cases), and the needs of attorneys who often refer clients to the institutions.

Chuck Chandler

John is by far the hardest working realtor I have ever met. He represented my uncle's estate selling his house in Bucktown and he went the extra mile to make sure I was happy with the selling price for the property even though it involved significant effort on this end, when many other realtors would have strongly encouraged me to sell the building with the first offer we received. I h...
