Customized, Personalized Real Estate Service
I've been in the service industry for over 30 years. With Baird & Warner in Evanston, I provide the highest level of service and professionalism to my clients. Growing up in Glencoe on the North Shore, I attended New Trier schools, and have raised my family in Evanston and Wilmette. I truly understands the needs of buyers, whether you are looking to relocate from another state, from the City, or even change your neighborhood within the North Shore.
I can help you find the resources you need and be your fount of information, ensuring that you'll feel at home on day one in your new home. With an MBA in Marketing, and experience in the advertising industry, I bring my sellers a unique value proposition: a combination of savvy marketing techniques, expertise, and immersion in the community and market. Clients have said that I'm personable, friendly, and very knowledgable. I look forward to bringing buyers and sellers together. Since 1995 I have focused entirely on real estate. My honest, comprehensive, and creative marketing skills have earned me the continued trust and confidence of my clients.
If you're looking to make a change and unsure of what that means, I can help you narrow your search. Whether you're down-sizing, expanding, or looking for a new neighborhood, I will provide you with all of the opportunities available to you and help make the choice that's right for you.
I firmly believe that in order to best serve my client's needs, I must stay up to date on the market in the areas I serve. I've been active in the following communities: Evanston, Wilmette, Winnetka, Glencoe, Kenilworth, Northbrook, Northfield, Skokie, Glenview, Deerfield, Skokie, Morton Grove, Buffalo Grove, Lincolnshire, and the surrounding North Shore neighborhoods. I enjoy helping buyers and sellers in the city of Chicago. Having lived and owned real estate in Lincoln Park for 18 years I appreciate the opportunity to diversify my sales portfolio, and help clients move around Chicago and the North suburbs.
In addition, I've built a meaningful national referral network. This gives exposure across the country for my sellers, as well as helping buyers who are looking to move out of the area.

I’ve worked with Pam in the past and she was my first choice when I needed a real estate agent again. She is very professional, knowledgeable, and does a great job to support her clients best interests.
Pam did an outstanding job throughout the entire process. She knows the market and how to maximize value for a seller. She handled details which assisted in the sale.
My experience with Pam was easy and seamless from start to finish. Her knowledge in the real estate business is phenomenal. I would definitely recommend her to anyone and her affiliates. I’ve already referred her to my family members for when they are ready to sell their homes
Pam was incredibly helpful in the process of selling my mother's condo. She was kind, compassionate, and patient with my mother who is suffering from dementia. She kept me and the rest of my family in the loop every step of the way and made sure we were being taken care of—she also worked incredibly efficiently, and made the process as seamless as possible. I would absolutely recommend...

I would strongly recommend...
We worked with Pam on an executive relocation in 2014 and then again in 2021 when we decided to move houses. Pam is an consummate professional and is a total pleasure to work with. She was easily available and responsive through the entire process and is a fierce advocate for her clients. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking to sell or buy a house.
I would recommend Pam hands down! Her professionalism and attention to detail was second to none. She kept me informed throughout the sales process and I found her advice spot on. While I did not ask her to do any staging, she brought in her own accessories and towels which added pops of color to the neutral bathrooms. She also brought in plants that added so much. My condo looked...
Pam is a true professional and completely engaged in her job and with her clients. Pam went above and beyond for us including late night negotiations and even meeting and paying for a plumber on our behalf when we were out of town. She did a lot of work in order to make the home selling process smooth and easy for us. Pam was also willing to listen to our suggestions and take them ser...

Pam was great! My wife and I weren't really sure what we were looking for, but Pam had patience and focus. She helped us clarify what we wanted and then showed us a comprehensive range of places to choose from. We would highly recommend her.

Pam was great. She guided me along getting the property ready and helped find good contractors for necessary repairs. I recommend her whole heartedly. Selling property can be an emotional land mine and Pam with her calm professionalism was invaluable.
Pam was an extraordinary help getting our place ready to sell, and then marketing it so professionally. Our brochures looked great. Pam negotiated a full price offer and it was sold very quickly. Her knowledge of the market and her expertise proved very valuable and right on target.
It is a pleasure to write about the fine work of Pam Laukkanen. Pam enthusiastically helped us find our new home in Arlington Heights, and she was tireless in her efforts to accompany us on many showings throughout the northwest suburbs. She exhibited great skill and professionalism as she helped prepare our Evanston home for sale, which- thanks to her keen sense of timing and pricing- w...
I have known Pam since I bought my first place in 2006. I was a first time home buyer and she was always so kind, helpful and patient with my many questions. After many years, I am now in the process of selling the property I first bought in 2006 and thankfully I have Pam to rely on again for her incredible knowledge and expertise. The BEST thing about Pam is that I know I can trust h...
We worked with Pam selling our home and buying a new one. The critical aspect of our relationship was that Pam paid attention to how we wanted each process to go. We did not want to waste our time or her time. She vetted buyers to confirm they were serious. She did not show us every house on the market within our parameters as she understood our taste and respected our directions.
Pam is the consummate professional. Her market analysis, marketing and research is always thorough and well organized. She is always responsive and follows through. Her advice was invaluable. We were very impressed with her knowledge and experience. We highly recommend Pam as a broker on both sides of any transaction.
