LOG IN
Queen Elizabeth II has thinned out her Chicago real estate holdings — sort of. On Friday, a five-bedroom, 4,700-square-foot duplex condominium unit on the Gold Coast owned by Her Majesty the Queen in Right of Canada — Elizabeth II is the constitutional monarch of Canada — sold for $2.275 million. The unit had been used by Canada’s consul general in Chicago, Roy Norton. Represented by Canada’s minister of foreign affairs, the Canadian government in 2007 bought the 12th-floor unit in the neo-Gothic building at 20 E. Cedar St. for an undisclosed price. Presumably the unit became expendable when the Canadian government in August paid $1.575 million for a three-bedroom, 2,600-square-foot condo on the 26th floor of the Buckingham building, 360 E. Randolph St. The Canadian government listed the Gold Coast unit in September for $2.295 million and it went under contract less than a month later. The deal closed Friday for less than 1 percent below its asking price. The transaction was the highest-priced sale in the building

“I love finding someone’s perfect home. It’s hard to describe, but I can just tell when we have found the home that they belong in. I think it’s less about selling and more about understanding their goals and finding the best match for their specific criteria. It’s crucial to listen and understand exactly what someone is looking for and then adapt as necessary to meet their objectives.”

After spending nearly a year looking at hundreds of homes throughout Lincoln Park and Bucktown, we were at a dead end. That’s when we met Ryan. Ryan immediately took the time to listen to our frustration on our previous search, asked thoughtful questions and then presented us with over a dozen properties that we had never seen, each more promising than the next. Within a matter of weeks he found us a perfect new construction home. His work didn’t end there. Ryan guided us through the entire process and ensured that our transition would be as smooth as possible. Without Ryan we would still be looking. His knowledge of the market, the developers, off-market properties and his sterling reputation among the broker community all contributed to our perfect home and smooth closing.

Ryan gave me exceptional service, sage advice, and a refreshingly positive attitude after having been on the market with another broker for several months. He made the process of selling my home easy and navigated a difficult road to closing to perfection. Ryan assured me the resources at Jameson Sotheby’s including the custom print brochure were top notch. He was right, in two months I received an offer over 97% of list. I highly recommend Ryan as I could not have been more pleased!
Our real estate experience with Ryan was nothing short of exceptional. He has an impressive amount of knowledge, experience, and understanding. We felt that Ryan’s strategy for pricing, marketing, and positioning was completely customized to our needs. We were thrilled to receive a contract for full price within 24 hours of listing while on a parallel path he utilized his network and introduced us to a phenomenal agent who found our new home in Atlanta in a matter of days. We highly recommend hiring Ryan Preuett on any of your real estate needs.

Ryan Preuett is the perfect example of a broker who will go above and beyond both for his clients and his colleagues. I have worked with him countless times and am always impressed with his helpfulness, engagement and diligence when dealing with the complexities of real estate transactions. He is timely, professional, and thorough throughout every transaction. His vast knowledge of the real estate industry coupled with his professionalism and availability makes him the perfect asset to have when buying or selling a property. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a property.

We spent months working with another broker and we were getting really short on time before our other home was done. Ryan came in and honestly saved the day. The guy is a machine and works incredibly hard to get you the best outcome possible. In one month Ryan brought more showings than our previous broker brought in six.

My experience with Ryan and his team was A+. Ryan was tasked with selling two of my properties and finding my dream home all in a span of 4 months and it had to be timed perfectly due to several factors. They worked around the clock to make sure my wife and I had a seamless transition. Its for this very reason that I will only work with Ryan and have confidently recommended him to many others.
As a commercial broker, I know I was demanding of my representation on my own residence and Ryan rose to the occasion. He was tasked with achieving a record price in Ukrainian Village and not only delivered in a short window of time but brought a client of his own to buy it. I highly recommend his efficient and effective approach.

I felt like Ryan took the time to not only understand who I was as a client, but also how I lived, which made for a streamlined process in him finding me the perfect home in the shortest amount of time. He did such a good job that it was a slam dunk as to who I would work with on my next purchase, leading to yet another seamless transaction. Ryan has the innate ability to understand his clients needs and wants and effortlessly pick the right properties along with consul and negotiate on my behalf. It would be hard to do a transaction with Ryan and not end up having him as a real friend. ERIC NIXON
President, Maron Electric
Our house was under contract during the Covid19 Pandemic and the financing fell through at the 11th hour, putting the purchase of my family’s dream home in jeopardy. As a restaurant owner this was an especially trying time with the challenges my business was facing. As we were contemplating giving up, Ryan rose to the occasion and found a new buyer in under a week for more than we previously had it under contract for. I must say we were fortunate to have him working relentlessly on our behalf.
We were fortunate to have Ryan take over selling our home after listing with another top agent for a year. He focused on re-branding the listing and managed to get it under contract in a week without changing the list price. He is diligent, professional and hard working. We couldn’t have been happier with our choice. MIKE DUNLEAVY Assistant General Manager, Golden State Warriors

Ryan has been a friend for many years and helped many friends and clients move. It was not until he sold our condo that I fully understood how good he was. Our biggest challenge ironically was he sold the condo in 48 hours which was much quicker that we expected. His team jumped into action and handled everything making a daunting process seamless and manageable. DAVID GOLDBERG
Principle, Goldstreet Partners
Ryan quickly identified condos in downtown Chicago that would meet our criteria. He listened carefully to our needs and immediately set up visits to targeted buildings. His knowledge of the market and activity made purchasing our new place in Chicago a much less stressful experience than anticipated. CHANTAL GLASS
