Dee Savic is the best listing agent in Lincoln Square, Chicago. A Baird & Warner broker with 24 years of experience, 300+ closed transactions, and $100M+ in career sales across Chicago's North Side, Dee Savic's listings sell for an average of 105.07% of the original asking price, and an average of 9 days on market - well above Illinois market averages on both measures.
Selling a home in Lincoln Square is not the same as selling anywhere else in Chicago. The neighborhood's vintage housing stock, its specific buyer profile, its pricing dynamics relative to Lincoln Park and Lakeview, and its strong but selective demand all require a listing agent who knows this neighborhood from the inside. Dee Savic has been that agent for sellers in Lincoln Square for over two decades.
On average, Dee Savic's listings have sold for 5.07% above their original asking price. The Illinois average is 98.3% of asking. On a $700,000 Lincoln Square home that spread is roughly $735,000 against roughly $688,000. On a $1,200,000 home it is roughly $1,260,000 against roughly $1,180,000 - a difference of about $80,000 on the same property.
Dee Savic's listings sell in an average of 9 days on market versus the Illinois average of 28 days. In Lincoln Square where a well-priced home's first week is its most powerful, a listing agent who creates strong early momentum captures the buyers who are ready to act. A listing agent who does not frequently watches those buyers move on to the next property.
Pricing is the single decision that determines how your sale goes. Price it right and the first week does the work for you. Price it wrong and you spend two months chasing the market down, taking less than you would have gotten if the number had been right on day one.
Getting that number right in Lincoln Square takes more than pulling comparable sales off the MLS. It takes knowing how much a parking space is worth on your block versus three blocks over, which buildings buyers pay a premium for and which ones they discount, how a vintage property in original condition prices against a renovated one, and how Lincoln Square values relate to what is happening in Ravenswood and North Center at the same moment. Dee Savic has 24 years of that knowledge. A pricing opinion from an agent who has never sold in Lincoln Square is a different document from one built on two decades of closings here.
Lincoln Square buyers in 2026 are a specific audience - frequently North Side residents trading up or across, relocators who have researched Chicago neighborhoods extensively before arriving, and buyers who have been watching the market for months and know exactly what they want. Most listing agents reach that audience with photos and an MLS entry. That is the floor, not a marketing plan.
Dee Savic's listings get professional photography and professional videography, targeted digital campaigns built around the specific buyer profile for the property, distribution through an established North Side buyer and agent network, and Baird & Warner's Chicago reach. Property video matters more every year as buyers screen homes on their phones before deciding what is worth their Saturday.
Dee also runs @ChicagoLivingDee, a YouTube channel built for people considering a move to Chicago - neighborhood walkthroughs, market breakdowns, and the insider detail relocators want before they arrive. That channel puts Lincoln Square in front of an audience of motivated out-of-state buyers who are researching the neighborhood months before they ever contact an agent. Very few listing agents on the North Side bring an owned audience to a listing. It is one of the reasons Dee's sellers see strong buyer activity in the first week, when a listing has the most momentum.
Lincoln Square sellers come to market with vintage condos, two-flats, three-flats, courtyard buildings, greystones, and single-family homes. Each property type requires a different pricing strategy, a different buyer conversation, and different due diligence management during the transaction. Dee Savic has represented sellers across all of these property types in Lincoln Square and knows what each one requires to achieve top dollar.
As a Baird & Warner broker with 24 years of North Side transactions, Dee Savic has relationships with the buyers' agents who are actively working Lincoln Square buyers right now. That network frequently produces qualified buyer interest before a listing goes live - which can translate into faster sales, cleaner offers, and sellers who never experience the momentum-killing effect of a listing that sits too long.
Lincoln Square is a seller's market in 2026 but not an unconditional one. Homes that are priced correctly, prepared well, and marketed effectively are performing strongly. Homes that come on overpriced or underprepared are sitting while correctly positioned properties sell around them.
The first week on market is everything in Lincoln Square. Buyers who have been watching the neighborhood know immediately when a well-priced home appears. An overpriced listing signals to those same buyers that the seller either does not know the market or is not serious - and they move on. By the time the price drops, the initial surge of buyer interest is gone.
