Heidi Swank is a seasoned real estate agent with a deep-rooted passion for guiding individuals and families in their search for the perfect place to call home. With a former career as a corporate project manager, she brings a detail-oriented, solutions-driven approach to every client interaction, consistently delivering exceptional results. Whether clients are looking for a contemporary condo in River North, a suburban fixer-upper, or aiming to enhance their property's market appeal through strategic redesign, Heidi is committed to making it happen.
Before transitioning into real estate, Heidi managed a $2 million portfolio of Fortune 500 clients, specializing in the creation and implementation of experiential learning solutions across domestic and international markets. The expertise she developed in managing complex projects translates seamlessly into her work in real estate today. After a successful tenure at Sotheby’s, she joined Compass to leverage its cutting-edge tools, technology, and the collaborative environment offered by Deb Hess & Partners. Her ability to stay at the forefront of market trends, anticipate shifts, and analyze investment opportunities—combined with her strong understanding of technology in both real estate and construction—distinguishes her in the industry.
Building lasting relationships is central to Heidi’s philosophy, rooted in loyalty, integrity, and trust. She believes that by truly understanding the needs and aspirations of her clients, she can help them find properties that align with their lifestyle and investment goals.
Heidi’s lifelong passion for real estate and construction is enriched by her global travels and fluency in English, Spanish, and Portuguese. After 17 years in Chicago, she has embraced the city’s cultural diversity and architectural richness, allowing her to offer deep insights and a broad, informed perspective on the local market.
When she’s not helping clients pursue their real estate dreams, Heidi enjoys spending time with her loyal pug, Crosby—a sweet reminder of the importance of finding the perfect place to call home. With her dedication, experience, and genuine enthusiasm for the industry, Heidi looks forward to being a trusted partner in her clients’ journeys to discover their ideal property in Chicago or its picturesque suburbs.
