Crain’s 2019 Notable Residential Real Estate Broker* | 2019 & 2020 Who’s Who in Chicagoland Residential Real Estate** Named Top 100 Real Estate Brokers by Chicago Magazine 2019*** | NASBAR’s Top 1% by Residential Sales Volume in 2019**** NASBAR’s Top 5% by Overall Residential Sales Transaction in 2019**** | #1 Individual Broker in Glencoe 2019†

In the top 1% of brokers for the past six consecutive years, Susan Maman has been a name clients in the North Shore trust to deliver results. As well, Crain’s Business has named Susan one of its 2019 Notable Residential Real Estate Brokers! Providing superior service to buyers and sellers every step of the way, Susan chose @properties for the innovative marketing, advertising and cutting-edge technology it provides for her clients. Susan was awarded with one of the 100 Most Influential Real Estate Agents in Illinois by Real Estate Executive Magazine, and is known amongst her clients—who she considers partners—for her clear and sincere commitment to their needs.

As a hands-on broker, every client can rely on Susan giving them her undivided attention: bringing an honest approach, a wealth of industry knowledge, creative energy, and stellar negotiation skills throughout the entire process. To this day, this has resulted in a majority client base that is largely repeat clients and referrals. After her battle with breast cancer in 2004, Susan approaches her profession with the same heart and determination that have enabled her to be a “survivor.” She applies this same fighting spirit when it comes to negotiating for her clients and being able to tackle and overcome the challenges of our current real estate market. For the last decade, she is proud and passionate to have donated a percentage of her earnings to Breast Cancer Research.

As a 55-year native of the North Shore, Susan prides herself on her extensive knowledge of the market up and down “The Shore.” After graduating from New Trier East High School, she attended the University of Michigan and the University of Arizona and earned a B.A. in Psychology with high honors.

Susan loves being the mother of two young adults, Jordan and Monique, and enjoys being the youngest and only girl in a family of four. She has recently moved to Winnetka. When time permits, Susan makes gourmet meals and delicious baked goods for her family and friends, travels to different parts of the world and plays tennis. Last, but certainly not least, Susan loves to laugh and have fun with all those around her!

“Susan Maman has just sold two of our properties within the past few months - one our home and another rental property. She has gone above and beyond multiple times in providing service to us which we have very much appreciated since we now live in Australia. We think the world of Susan’s ability to price a home, get it ready for listing, market our home and then negotiate multiple offers at once. Once we had accepted offers, Susan made the approval periods as pain free as possible for us. We couldn’t recommend Susan any higher. Thanks Susan, we think you are amazing!”

KARIN AND NICHOLAS FINK, GLENCOE BUYERS “We had a great experience with Susan Maman at @properties. She really was amazing! Susan showed us many houses until we found the perfect house for us. She is knowledgeable, hardworking, kind, and available whenever we needed her. I would recommend Susan to anyone looking to buy a house in the North Shore.”

JEN AND STEVEN ZANDPOUR, WINNETKA BUYER “Susan was fabulous! She is a very hard worker and her motor never stops running.

Her marketing skills are exemplary and she is always available to her clients. We sold our home in 6 days and bought another in 3 days. We give Susan our highest recommendation“ ROBERT & BARBARA ENGEL, GLENCOE SELLERS “I wish to compliment Susan concerning your representing my company in the sale of the new construction in Glencoe. She marketed the residence in a professional manner and devoted your time to open houses beyond what would normally be expected by a client. However, I most appreciated her take-charge attitude when the negotiations began. Susan did with excellence what an agent is supposed to do…find a buyer and obtain an acceptable selling price. I would gladly refer her to a prospective seller.”

SANFORD MEISELMAN, GLENCOE SELLER “Susan is hands down the best REALTOR® you can work with. She represented us on our purchase after we decided to let our prior agent go. We interviewed several agents, but nobody knew the North Shore or Glencoe like Susan. She’s honest, hard-working, and is always available for her clients. From the moment we met Susan, we felt like we could trust her. Trust and knowledge were the two most important factors for us - and she epitomizes those qualities. She was never trying to make her commission or push us. She wanted to find us the perfect place at a great price point. She’s an expert negotiator. Whether you’re buying or selling, talk to Susan. You won’t regret it” JAMIE AND SAMUEL SILVERMAN, GLENCOE BUYERS 2

@properties: a local leader In less than a decade, @properties became the #1 real estate brokerage firm in the city of Chicago and began expanding to the suburbs.

But for @properties, leading has far less to do with numbers and far more to do with innovation. Technology changes, markets change, expectations change. So we never stop changing. Innovation permeates everything we do, from building the most sophisticated website to introducing new services to sourcing new marketing channels. Innovation is the heartbeat of our business.

Being a leader also comes with responsibility. It means moving the industry forward by sharing best practices, serving in positions of leadership with the local REALTORSÂŽ Association, and giving back to the community.

Each day, we break new ground by attracting the best and most professional brokers and the most astute clients in the greater Chicagoland area.

10

ADVERTISING YOUR HOME The story of your home is already written…

It’s all about properly sharing it. @properties showcases your home before the largest pool of homebuyers through marketing programs that are built around EXPOSURE – exposure through an internal network of brokers and their client databases; through an in-house marketing department with full print and digital capabilities; and through an exhaustive catalog of online, mass media and grassroots marketing initiatives – all tailored to address the specific challenges and opportunities of the marketplace.

More exposure means more page views, more phone calls, more showing requests, and ultimately a faster, more lucrative sale.

MARKET WITHIN A MARKET Even before your home is officially listed, @properties brokers market internally to a powerful network of more than 2,000 brokers – each with a broad sphere of influence that forms a rich source of prospects, buyers and referrals. This unique “market within a market” results in the most efficient transaction environment in the marketplace. @AGENT APP Leveraging this “market within a market,” @ properties brokers use an internal mobile app that has revolutionized the way we communicate about and transact real estate. The exclusive @gent App allows our brokers to match homebuyers with homes for sale, including pocket (off-market) listings. A number of @properties listings sell before they hit the broader market because of the exposure through the app alone – a testament to the power of the @properties network.

Beyond connecting buyers and sellers, the @gent App aggregates a knowledge base of every @properties broker in a searchable database, making it a great resource for recommendations on everything from vendors and service providers to local businesses.

To @properties, local means friends you can count on, neighbors you can trust, and businesses you go out of your way to support. Local means the barista knows your drink, the dry cleaner knows your name and the clerk at the convenience store is happy to loan you a buck.

Real estate is a local business, and that means every home, on every block, in every neighborhood is unique, and each deserves the attention, care and consideration only a local company can offer. @properties is a local company through and through. But at the end of the day, we know that not all buyers are local. So when it comes to our marketing programs, we think globally.

As an exclusive member of Leading Real Estate Companies of the WorldŽ, the world’s largest network of independent real estate firms, @properties connects sellers with homebuyers all over the world. So while our brand is uniquely local, our reach is global. That means more exposure, and ultimately, shorter market times and higher selling prices.

dream houses >> from page 8

All that’s missing at 855 E. Westminster Road in Lake Forest is a moat. It’s the John Hughes mansion, sprawled across more than 11,000 square feet and listed at $4.955 million. The late screenwriter, director and producer renovated, expanded and meticulously maintained the English Tudor house in 1992.

The second floor office includes custom built-in desks, book cases and a wood-burning fireplace that bears the trademark of Hughes Entertainment within the mantle.

The mansion’s listing agent is Coldwell Banker’s Lyon.

“There are benefits for those who want to renovate and restore historical mansions,” Lyon said, referring to property tax assessment freezes and Federal income tax deduction to owners of historic properties who donate preservation easements to qualified organizations.

There are benefits for those who don’t live in mansions but still get to admire the striking abodes — for free.

“When you drive down Sheridan Road, you’re driving past an amazing history of architecture,” said Ian Robinson, managing broker at Coldwell Banker-Northbrook. “The quality of workmanship … it’s there for all to see. Mansions are hugely important to the character of the lakefront communities.”

Real estate agent/consultant Susan Maman of @properties-Winnetka hired architectural historian Laura Culberson Knapp to help her market the Pabst manor at 443 Sheridan Road in Glencoe (under contract, as of Nov. 18; list price of $5.95 million). Knapp thoroughly researched the mansion’s original owner, philanthropist and brewing company executive Harris Perlstein, and architect brothers William and Hal Pereira of Chicago.

Her copy complemented images of the property in the listing brochure.

“It’s rich in history,” Maman said of the Georgian style manor, built in 1936.

The Pereira brothers moved to California and became theater designers for Paramount. They also designed dozens of movie theaters and interiors across the country. Hal Pereira worked on films — including ones directed by Alfred Hitchcock and Billy Wilder — as an art director and production designer.

Many of the names of the architects attached to the North Shore mansions are as awesome as, well, the mansions: Frank Lloyd Wright, Howard Van Doran Shaw, David Adler, Henry Ives Cobb, Rudolph Schindler, John Van Bergen and Edwin Hill Clark.

If there’s an Architecture Hall of Fame, one of those men must have designed it.

“Some homeowners appreciate the façade of their homes and do all they can to maintain the integrity of that, while adding modern amenities inside,” said Caitlyn Terrell, Director of Luxury & Development Marketing at Koenig & Strey Real Living in Skokie.

Businessman and philanthropist W. Clement Stone lived in a mansion for decades on 445 Sheridan Road in Winnetka.

That is well-known. Perhaps not so wellknown was the man who lived there from 1931-65: James G. McMillan, president of the Wander Company, creator of Olvatine.

Harold L. Ickes drank milk in his mansion at 900 Private Road in Winnetka. He

served as the United States Secretary of the Interior from 1933-46. He also had a major impact locally. “[Ickes] helped to change the fabric of Winnetka,” said Carol Hunt, a broker associate at Baird & Warner-Winnetka. “He was behind the project to create the Skokie Lagoons.”

The Civilian Conservation Corps toiled in the mid-1930s to form the hills and lakes of the lagoons.

“North Shore residents live near many unique homes,” added Hunt, who, in 2010, sold a mansion (built in 1886) on Elm Street in Winnetka. “And the people who lived in them … so many of them lived interesting lives. It’s good to know that people still appreciate history. It’s always good to still

see a mansion close to its original form.”

Among the other famous mansion owners along the North Shore: former Carson Pirie Scott executive and chairman Bruce MacLeish (lakeside bluff in Glencoe, built in 1919), and former Ohio Secretary of State William Henry Smith, a close friend of President Rutherford B. Hayes, who appointed Smith Collector of the Port of Chicago in 1877 (the “Lost Rock” estate on 100 E. Pembroke Drive in Lake Forest, 1894).

“Mansions are an integral part of the history and development of the North Shore,” said Maureen Mohling, a broker associate at Coldwell Banker-Winnetka. “There’s a lot of interesting, fascinating history surrounding mansions. History often adds value.” ■

WORDS BY ALICE YORK / PHOTOGRAPHY BY ROBIN SUBAR

iving on the North Shore for the past 55 years, @properties realtor Susan Maman prides herself on her extensive knowledge of the area’s community and its market. With a majority of her client base made up of repeat clients and referrals, it is clear that individuals up and down “The Shore” trust her to deliver results and superior service.

Extremely satisfied client Dr. Lance E. Peterson, one of the nation’s premier medical experts on infectious diseases, who’s obviously been busy the past two months, sings Maman’s praises: “Our home had been on the market for nearly two years, and Susan sold it in two months; almost unbelievable,” Dr. Peterson says. “During the time between the contract agreement and closing we had a major water damage event and Susan navigated that, including finding respected teams to repair what was needed. She kept the buyers engaged, including finding local day care for them. Our only regret is that we did not hire Susan from day-one. We have now moved out of Illinois, but if we ever had a property to sell there on the North Shore, she would be all of our top 10 picks!”

In the top 1 percent of brokers in Chicagoland for the better part of a decade with over $285 million in lifetime sales, Maman is known equally for her accolades—she has been awarded Crain’s 2019 Notable Residential Real Estate Brokers and Real Estate Executive Magazine’s 100 Most Influential Real Estate Agents in Illinois, recognized in 2019 Who’s Who in Chicagoland Residential Real Estate, and by Chicago Magazine with its Top 100 Real Estate Brokers and 5 Star awards—as she is for her honest approach, high energy, and stellar negotiation skills.

Maman regularly fights for her clients, tackling the challenges of the real estate market with the same tenacity she battled and beat breast cancer over a decade ago. And clients appreciate the clear and sincere commitment to their needs she exhibits every step of the way: “I take just as much pride in and put just as much energy into selling a $100,000 property as a $7-8 million lakefront estate,” Maman relates.

A Certified Residential Specialist and Accredited Buyer’s Representative, throughout her career she has been nominated MVP Broker in the Suburbs by Chicago Agent, Top 10 Brokers in the New Trier School District, and No.1 individual broker in Glencoe amongst all brokerages in 2019.

Moving from the corporate world, where she worked in marketing and advertising for Sprint for almost 20 years, Maman selected @properties for its innovation in those very same fields and the cutting-edge technology it provides for clients. “It really is an extraordinary company to work for—and with,” Maman attests.

“Working in real estate provides flexibility and the ability to create your own destiny,” she adds. “I would encourage any age group, from people just out of college to those getting back into the career world or wanting to try something new, to take the leap.”

The multifaceted MVP brings this same adventurous spirit into

her life outside real estate. Now residing in the New Trier School District (a school she herself attended as a teen), the mother to Jordan and Monique, both in their 20s, can be found in her kitchen, whipping up time-tested recipes passed down from her late mother, or hitting the town with friends for their monthly supper club.

She balances out these culinary pursuits with an equal passion for fitness. She regularly attends SHRED415 in Northfield, also working privately with trainer Marquone Edmonds (Coach Q)— “he has inspired me tremendously and made working out fun!”— after what she jokingly refers to as “a lengthy hiatus from exercise.”

Even after just a brief conservation with her, the busy broker’s warm, personable, and quick-to-laugh nature shines through.

Originally from Johannesburg, South Africa (the family landed in Glencoe in the late ‘60s), the avid traveler loves exploring different parts of the world, from safaris in Africa to the holy lands of Israel, and weekend destinations a little closer to home.

From her very first sale on Dundee Road in Glencoe, where she quickly learned how to juggle multiple offers and draw up a proper contract, to selling an $8 million home on the lake in six days, Maman is helping so many start new adventures of their own, with the North Shore their dream destination.

Spotlight Love, knowledge of Glencoe gives realtor a niche

BY JACKIE PILOSSOPH | Contributor

When Kristine Petralito and her husband Frank moved to Glencoe from North Carolina a year and a half ago, they fell in love with the town so much that they almost immediately began looking for a home to buy.

“It’s charming here, and I like that I can walk my dog and walk to places like the post office, the pharmacy, and the dry cleaner,” said Kristine, who had been renting a home in Glencoe. “Everything is convenient, and we love the schools.”

When the Petralito’s set out to find their dream home, they knew exactly who to call: Susan Maman, a senior real estate broker consultant with @Properties. Why Maman?

According to Kristine, they wanted someone who really knew Glencoe.

“My husband is very well educated on the real estate market, and he wanted a realtor who knew the inventory in Glencoe as well as he did,” Kristine said. “We saw a writeup about Susan in Sheridan Road Magazine, and Frank said, ‘This is who we’re going to call.’”

Susan Maman’s real estate career began at the same time as a personal tragedy almost

nine years ago. After finding out she had breast cancer, Maman coped with the disease by planning a large, elaborate fundraiser. It was an event that drew in 400 guests and that raised over $85,000.

“Besides the fact that the event raised so much money for a wonderful cause, it also resulted in tremendous exposure and connections,” said Maman, who shortly after the event accepted a position at Coldwell Banker, where she would spend six years and make a name for herself in the industry. “I was networking and telling people I was now working as a broker, and right off the bat I got million dollar listings. It was the jumpstart of my business.”

Maman’s current employer, @properties opened its doors in Chicago in 2000, and expanded its offices to the North Shore three years

ago. Co-founder, Thad Wong recruited Maman. She has worked for the company for more than two years.

“They showed me what they’d done in the city in a 10-year period, and what they’d done in Evanston,” said Maman, who admits leaving Coldwell banker was a tough decision because of the great relationships she had there. “@properties was on the cutting edge and technologically advanced. They had a marketing team who could work in a creative, fresh way, and they were way ahead in agent branding.”

Maman, who is originally from South Africa, moved to Glencoe with her family when she was 10. She holds a degree in psychology from the University of Arizona, but other than when she was in college, she has always lived in Glencoe.

She raised her family here, and lives in town.

“She pulled out three listings and this house was on top,” said Kristine, who with her family moved into their Glencoe home last March.

“We were hesitant about looking at it, but she convinced us. We fell in love with it right away. She really did

pick this house. “ “I knew this was the house for Frank and Kristine,” said Maman. “I love knowing that they love waking up here every day.”

Maman represents both buyers and sellers in her business.

She works with clients all over the North Shore, but said her expertise truly is in Glencoe and the surrounding towns.

“We’ve owned a few houses in different parts of the country and this house is our favorite of all of them,” said Kristine. “The yard is my favorite place. I just discovered we have a peach tree.”
