Suzanne Gignilliat

In the luxury market, Suzanne Gignilliat has been a top seller since day one. When you hire
her, you get an award-winning, discreet, patient, tenacious Realtor passionate about helping
her clients find the property of their dreams. With 34 years of experience and a clientele full of
referrals and repeat customers, Suzanne is the best of the best. She’s the calm in the
emotional business of buying or selling a home.

When you choose to work with Suzanne, you are selecting a Realtor who is present, engaged
and involved. Clients work with her and her group of highly experienced and trusted
associates all trained by Suzanne. She won’t pass you off to a junior agent to show your home,
rather, she collaborates with her associates to ensure that behind each and every listing, there
is the highest level of expertise and service. Her full-time administrative staff goes above and
beyond to ensure that the transaction runs as smoothly as possible.

Although specializing in high-end properties, Suzanne and her groups client base is as diverse
as the properties they represent - spanning throughout Chicago’s culturally rich
neighborhoods. Looking to buy or sell outside of the city limits? Not a problem! Suzanne has
access to referral networks through @properties and Christie’s International, allowing her to
help you find an agent with a home anywhere.

Intelligent but approachable, thoughtful and candid, respectful and available, Suzanne lives
the Lincoln Park life she sells. An urbanite, Suzanne raised her family on a beautiful tree-lined
street in Lincoln Park. She loves architecture, design, and cities - especially Chicago - where
she has lived her adult life. Receiving her BA degree from Yale University and MA degree from
Northwestern University, Suzanne began her professional career in advertising before finding
her aptitude and interest in real estate.

Apart from real estate, Suzanne is an avid participant in her community. She is an engaged
former Trustee at the Latin School of Chicago, she chairs the Midwest Regional Advisory
Committee for Yale University, and is a former chair for Chicago Yale Club Foundation’s Board
of Directors. Suzanne engages in local politics and enjoys all the cultural offerings Chicago has to
offer, like the Chicago Symphony, Hubbard Street Dance, Steppenwolf, and the Blackhawks.
She loves to read and discuss books, and she is a great cook, happiest when entertaining
friends and families.

Don’t be fooled by her low-key, gracious manner. When it comes to closing a deal, there is a
reason Suzanne’s associates call her “The Velvet Hammer.”
