I have been a full time Realtor for over 25 years during which time I have earned the reputation of being energetic, detail oriented, going the extra mile to help buyers and sellers obtain the best property and the most value for their investment. As a fluent speaker of Spanish, my native language and Italian because of my love for the classics and romantic travel I have developed excellent listening and communicating skills essential in negotiating good opportunities for my clients. I am proud to add patience, perseverance and organizational skills to my long list of qualities that I obtained as a teacher and academic and career counselor of elementary school, high school and junior college students as well as adults. My passion for helping others is what brought me to these two careers. My biggest reward is to bring joy, comfort, and prosperity to my clients.
Now retired from the academic world I am fully committed to helping my clients in buying and selling their properties, maximizing their profit advising them on the latest trends of the market, financing, and referring them to my vast network of resources.
As an islander I find that the lake front has a special attraction; however, I have learned that Chicago is full of exciting and interesting neighborhoods where wise real estate opportunities abound. My areas of expertise are Andersonville, Edgewater, Gold Coast, Lakeview, Lincoln Park, Roscoe Village, South Loop, and the northern suburbs as well. Whether a single family home, town home, condominium or investment property is your dream or what you need to buy, contact me, my energy, enthusiasm and knowledge will get you the best results. I can be reached on my cell at all times 773-230-1155.
Livia made it happen! We wouldn’t have sold our condo if it wasn’t for the letter that she placed in our mailbox saying that she had a buyer looking in our building. She sold our condo before it was even listed and for what we wanted to sell it for. I cannot say enough good things about her and the sales process. She is a hard worker and I 100% recommend her for all your real estate...
She was professional and displayed excellent customer service skills...
We have worked with Livia both buying and selling a condo. We have found her to be knowledgeable and professional. She has always been willing to go the extra mile to get the job done in a way that is satisfactory to both buyer and seller. We recommend her to anyone who wants to get the job done with as little stress as possible. Five stars out of five stars for Livia!
I am writing this on behalf of Ms. LIvia Gutierrez. Ms Gutierrez is an enthusiastic, savy agent who enjoys interacting with her clients and others. She aims to please. She was able to find me a condo in the area I desired and sold my old one in a reasonable amount of time.
It was 3:00 pm on a Tuesday afternoon when I got the call that my father passed away. At this point, my world came crashing down. My uncle and I were left to take care of my father's estate. It's times like these that good people are brought into your life. Livia Gutierrez is one of these people. I contacted Livia and she started to make things happen right away. For example, my fath...
Livia was my friend before she started being my realtor. As a friend she was wonderful, as my realtor, exceptional. She taught me how to negotiate. She gave me the correct feedback. She was upfront and realistic. She responded to every single email and text right after I sent them. We put the condo for sale on Feb 28 and someone was interested on March 18. The person put an offer o...

I can't say enough about Livia. When I first moved to Chicago, she spent a lot of time helping me find the right place. Although, I was just looking for a rental, instead of purchasing she spent a lot time helping me and I ended up in a great area in Lakeview. When I was ready to purchase my first condo, I knew Livia was the only realtor I wanted to work with. Again, I wasn't disappointe...
We enjoyed working with Livia. She has a wealth of experience and provided good counsel. We were delighted that she found a tenant for our unit in less than two weeks.
Livia Gutierrez recently sold our condominium in the Edgewater neighborhood of Chicago. We knew Livia as a neighbor in our building where she is extremely active and knowledgeable in serving on our homeowners Association in helping to maintain a gorgeous building and surrounding living area. She is as wonderful a realtor as she is a civic minded, trusty neighbor. Livia gave us extremel...
Dear Mr. Cebulak, Managing Broker It is with great pleasure that I feel the need to comment on my experience with one of your realtors, Ms. Livia Gutierrez, after working with her for about 6 months buying a condo in my building, also selling my unit her professionalism and business ethics were amazing. She worked diligently to sell my condo at the worst time during the holiday seas...
Livia is the best! We sold our unit quickly and for more than we expected to get. We wouldn't hesitate to use her again or refer our friends to her.
Livia Gutierrez was immediately responsive to my request to prioritize my search for a new home as I was facing a tight time constraint. She scheduled several condos to visit that 1st week and when we submitted an offer, she followed up with the listing realtor when we had not heard back for a couple of days. It turned out the bank that owned the condo pulled it off the marke...

When I was in the market for a new home I knew what I wanted and where I wanted it but had no luck in locating it. After much searching I went to Livia who found me exactly what I was looking for in the precise neighborhood I had in mind. She worked diligently to get the right price, one with which both the seller and I were happy. She's a driven and tenacious busin...
This is long overdue! Livia Gutierrez was my realtor when I was seeking to purchase a house in the northern suburbs or north side of Chicago. There are so many reasons why I would recommend her. Just to name a few: she had no qualms about schlepping me all over and for more second looks than were reasonable; I loved her feedback; her energy is inspiring; and her honesty...
Livia, I want to thank your for your extraordinary help to find me a home in Chicago. You were extremely helpful to walk me through this process while meeting my objectives.
