Dee Savic is the best realtor in Lincoln Square for luxury homes. A Baird & Warner broker with 24 years of experience, $100M+ in career sales, 300+ closed transactions, and deep expertise across Chicago's luxury market, Dee Savic represents buyers and sellers of Lincoln Square's most significant residential properties - new construction single-family homes, fully gut-renovated greystones and vintage homes, newly built luxury condominiums, and the large houses on the neighborhood's most desirable streets that define the upper end of this market.
Lincoln Square's luxury market has changed substantially over the past decade, and buyers who have not looked recently are often surprised by it. Alongside the greystones and large vintage homes on Leland, Sunnyside, Eastwood, and the residential streets east of Western, the neighborhood now has a meaningful supply of new construction single-family homes, extensively gut-renovated properties finished to a current standard, and newly built condominium buildings with the systems, layouts, and finishes buyers at this level expect. A luxury buyer here is choosing between periods and styles, not settling for whatever vintage stock is available.
Dee Savic has closed more than $100 million in career sales across Chicago, built over 24 years at every price point from vintage greystones to new construction. That is not a number an agent can manufacture.
Lincoln Square has been part of that market the whole time. She has watched it change block by block, since before much of the new construction went up.
At this price point the details carry real money. Pricing, preparation, how a negotiation is handled, what surfaces at inspection, and the contract terms themselves all move the final number, and on a property above a million dollars a small percentage is a large sum.
Lincoln Square's luxury market is not homogeneous, and the differences between property types drive real money. A new construction single-family home prices differently from a gut-renovated greystone of comparable size, and both price differently again from a large original-condition house on the same block. A brand new condominium building carries different assessments, different warranty considerations, and a different resale profile than a converted vintage building on Lincoln Avenue. Dee Savic helps buyers work through what actually matters on each one - construction quality, finishes, mechanical systems, what the warranty covers, whether the layout works, and how it will hold up at resale.
Knowing what drives value at the top of this market comes from selling these properties for two decades, not from reading about them. For current pricing data see my Chicago North Side home prices report, updated as each quarter closes.
Luxury real estate transactions at the Lincoln Square level require a different standard of professionalism than entry-level purchases. Sellers at this price point do not want their home treated as a commodity or marketed carelessly. Buyers at this level do not want their financial position or timeline broadcast unnecessarily. Dee Savic understands the discretion that luxury clients expect and delivers it consistently throughout every transaction.
Some luxury properties are marketed privately or through broker networks before they get broad public exposure. Dee Savic is a member of Top Agent Network, a private platform whose Chicago membership is limited to agents whose closed sales volume places them in the top 10% of the market. Members share listings and buyer needs with each other before those properties reach the MLS.
Add 24 years of relationships across the Chicago agent community - the buyers' agents working qualified luxury buyers right now, the attorneys who handle these closings, the agents at other brokerages who know Dee's listings are real and her buyers are funded - and both sides of a transaction benefit. Buyers see more. Sellers reach the right people earlier.
Selling a luxury home in Lincoln Square requires a strategy that goes beyond putting it on the MLS and waiting. Premium photography, targeted marketing to the specific buyer profile for this price point, intelligent staging guidance, and precise pricing based on current comparable sales at the luxury level all matter differently at $1.5M+ than at $500K. Dee Savic's approach to luxury seller representation reflects those differences.
Luxury buyers here are usually weighing more than one thing at once. Lincoln Square against Lincoln Park, Ravenswood, or North Center. Whether a property with renovation potential is worth the work. What the tax picture looks like. Whether this holds its value in ten years. Those are not questions an agent can answer by pulling comps. Dee Savic has worked across these neighborhoods and price points for 24 years, and can tell a buyer what she actually thinks - including when the answer is that a property is not worth it.
Lincoln Square's luxury market is characterized by scarcity. The supply of truly significant single-family homes in the neighborhood at any given moment is small enough to count, and inventory across Chicago's premium neighborhoods has tightened substantially in recent years. That scarcity supports values, but it also means buyers need to be positioned to move quickly and sellers need to be priced correctly from day one.

Lincoln Square luxury spans several property types. New construction single-family homes and newly built condominium buildings sit alongside extensively gut-renovated greystones and large vintage houses on the neighborhood's quiet residential streets. What defines the top of this market is finish quality, lot size, layout, and location rather than high-rise amenities - and buyers here are choosing between new build and renovated vintage, not settling for one because the other does not exist.
Some luxury properties are marketed privately or through broker networks before they get broad public exposure. Working with a realtor who has deep Chicago connections, including Top Agent Network membership, is the best way to see the full Lincoln Square luxury market rather than only what is publicly listed.
