About Grace Flatt

Winnetka Real Estate Broker for Chicago and the North Shore. You deserve to love where you live. Let’s get you there.

A move usually means something is changing. Maybe the family is growing, and the house isn’t. Maybe the kids have moved out and you’re heating rooms nobody uses. You know where you want to end up. You want someone who has done this for a long time to help you get there.

I’m Grace Flatt, a broker with @properties Christie’s International Real Estate in Winnetka. I’ve sold homes in Chicago and on the North Shore for 26 years. I’ve been featured on the cover of North Shore Real Producers and in Sheridan Road magazine, and I’m a Road to Rolex sales award winner.

How I work with you

The expensive mistakes in real estate happen early. A listing priced too high. A house you fall for before anyone checks what it needs. So I start there.

I preview homes before you see them, which means your Saturday goes to houses that fit. If you’re selling, I’ll tell you straight what I think your home is worth, even when it isn’t the number you hoped for. When offers come in, I negotiate hard.

Price isn’t always what wins. In a recent multiple-offer situation, my clients weren’t the highest bid. I was able to tell the sellers how much they loved the house and what it would mean to their family. The sellers chose them.

Where I come from

I was born in Evanston and raised on the northwest side of Chicago. I was a competitive gymnast on the Wilmette team from age eight to eighteen, which is how I ended up spending so much time on the North Shore and falling for it. I went to school in Wilmette, studied biology at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, and worked in the Chicago Loop before real estate. Today I live in Winnetka with my husband, Will, and our two daughters.

My Italian family came to this country with one trunk of belongings. That’s a big reason I take real estate seriously. For many families, a home is the first thing they ever own and the way they build wealth over time. It’s also where family life happens, and I never forget that.

I volunteer at my daughters’ schools and with their synchronized skating teams, and I’m a member of the Junior League of Evanston-North Shore. Both girls are US National Champions, so you’ll often find me in a rink. The rest of my free time goes to yoga and trips to the dog beach with Goldie, my yellow lab.

My plan for your move

  1. We talk. You tell me what this move needs to do for your family.
  2. I do the homework. I preview homes for you, or I price and prepare yours.
  3. I negotiate. You make the decisions. I make sure you have what you need to make them.
  4. We close with my team. I work with long-standing lenders, inspectors, attorneys, and home service pros. Something usually goes sideways before closing, and when it does, you’ll have people to call.

This works for people moving across town, across the city, or from out of state. I know the local markets inside Chicago and in the suburbs, and that’s the part that’s hard to learn from a website.
