Joanne Hudson

Widely recognized as a leading broker and respected business owner, Joanne is a sought-after real estate expert who understands the nuances of the North Shore market and puts her clients’ interests first. With her husband, Steve, she co-owned The Hudson Company, which was ranked Number One in all of Chicagoland for the highest sales per agent in the Chicagoland market for more than a decade. In its 17 years of operation, The Hudson Company also won multiple marketing and production awards from Leading Real Estate Companies of the World.

With sales consistently in the top 1% of brokers nationwide and over $800,000,000 in career sales, she has an impressive track record across all price segments. She takes every sale seriously and gets as much joy helping a young couple buy a starter home as she does selling a lakefront estate.

An avid listener who builds rapport with sellers, buyers, developers and fellow brokers, Joanne has keen negotiating skills and precise timing that have proven to be tremendous assets for her clients. Her work as a private banker at First Chicago (Chase) gives her both a valuable financial background and track record of discreet service to her clients.

Joanne also understands how to harness technology to benefit her clients. Whether through digital pre-marketing, social marketing videos, drone photography and video, or virtual staging, Joanne maximizes her sellers’ exposure and positions their properties with the support of her team of professional staging advisors and contractors to attract buyers. In addition to understanding the North Shore market, Joanne and her husband have also built and renovated a variety of houses in Chicago and the North Shore, so she brings an insider’s perspective to all aspects of the real estate continuum.

Joanne recognizes that purchasing or selling real estate is not only a financial investment but also an investment in a community. With deep roots in the North Shore, she can help guide her clients to find the best fit in properties. From her experience on the board of the Winnetka Public School Nursery to her work as a New Trier Parent Advisor along with her vast experience in the communities she serves, she has gained the knowledge necessary to help her clients achieve their real estate objectives.

Guided by a commitment to maintaining the highest ethical standards and making the process a positive experience for her clients, Joanne is an empathic professional who loves helping her clients realize their dreams.
