Moving From
Chicago to the Shore Is Different
Moving from the Windy City to the North Shore requires understanding two sophisticated markets at once - how to position a city property for maximum value, and how to identify the right long-term investment on the North Shore.
Kaage Homes was built on deep Chicago real estate roots. Grace and KC Kaage spent years living and leading in the city’s most competitive markets, with brokerage leadership experience spanning flagship offices in Streeterville and the Gold Coast. And the history runs deep - Grace's father was the first Managing Broker to run a billion-dollar office in Chicago.
Today, our team continues to actively serve the city with Kaage Homes agents living in neighborhoods from Lincoln Park to Logan Square, maintaining real-time insight into pricing, buyer demand, and neighborhood dynamics. Because selling in Chicago, and transitioning north, requires more than access. It requires strategy.
This isn’t simply a purchase.
It’s a coordinated move between two complex markets — and we understand both.
