Christine Sato

Christine streamlines the real estate process for her clients by listening to their unique needs, serving as a trusted advisor based on her in-depth market experience, and then negotiating the best possible outcome. Her commitment to research and preparation in combination with her ability to clearly communicate, puts clients at ease during a complicated and sometimes overwhelming process. Christine’s dedication to establishing a lasting customer relationship rather than simply closing the deal, has earned her not only repeat business, but enthusiastic referrals from clients she is pleased to call friends.
Growing up in Lincoln Park where she attended Francis W. Parker School, Christine watched the distinct neighborhoods of the city develop over time. As a long-time resident, she has witnessed many changes in the Chicago real estate market and places a premium on staying current on trends and inventory. Whether she’s counseling a first-time home buyer, helping clients upgrade from a condo to a single-family home, or negotiating the sale of a multi-unit investment property, Christine maintains her integrity and hands-on approach throughout the process.
Prior to real estate, Christine enjoyed a successful tenure as a fundraiser for local and national non-profit organizations. In this role she honed the skill of understanding donors’ interests and matching them with the appropriate program fit, and in the process exposed them to opportunities they might not have considered. She approaches real estate in the same manner, turning her clients’ real estate goals into realities by guiding them through the options to determine the ideal fit.
Christine lives in the Lakeview with her son and their dog, Oscar. She graduated from Lawrence University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Economics, and also received a Master's of Nonprofit Administration from the University of San Francisco. Christine enjoys spending time with friends and family, reading, and traveling. She has lived in Spain, Japan and has visited over 20 different countries.
