About Deborah McClain

Deborah has a wealth of experience and an entrepreneurial spirit, eager to provide exceptional service to both her city and suburban clients. Deborah‘s background in law and marketing coupled with an artistic eye and passion for space and design led her to a career in real estate.

Real estate transactions often signal new beginnings in life and Deborah finds the opportunity to facilitate such transitions, extremely gratifying. She is an active listener, understanding that communication is paramount in gaining a client’s trust and confidence. Educating new buyers about the process and helping homeowners prepare their properties for sale, including staging and facilitating repairs, are all part of her commitment to her clients. Deborah has built a reputation among clients for her openness, warmth, attention to detail, and forthright style sometimes “when it needs to be said, it needs to be said.”

She is a lifelong resident of Chicago and the North Shore suburbs and a top-producing residential specialist on the North Shore, with over 15 years of experience in the luxury market. After a creative hiatus, Deborah has returned to real estate full time, bringing her enthusiasm and commitment to the city market. She finds the vitality of the city and its unique neighborhoods inspiring; she is a fan of the arts, creative food, and fine wine. Always trying to learn something new.
