About Larissa

Larissa Brodsky is a premier expert in Chicago’s downtown market—specializing in Lakeshore East, Streeterville, Gold Coast, River North, West Loop, and The Loop—where her deep knowledge of floor plans, building amenities, and exposures across the city’s top high-rises gives her clients an insider’s advantage in an increasingly competitive marketplace. At the same time, she works throughout the greater Chicago area and suburbs, advising buyers and sellers at every price point with the same concierge-level service. Her extensive network spans both local and international markets, making her a trusted resource for clients across all segments of real estate.

 

As a Certified International Property Specialist (CIPS) and a member of the Institute for Luxury Home Marketing, Larissa provides international buyers and sellers with access to trusted resources, streamlined processes, and tailored guidance. She is particularly well-known for building strategic marketing campaigns and social media buzz that tell a compelling story—promoting not only the property, but also the lifestyle and image it conveys. Responsive and incredibly knowledgeable, she consistently succeeds where others fall short, guiding clients with discretion, precision, and a global perspective.

 

For sellers, Larissa believes everything begins with presentation. With her knowledge of staging and interior design, she ensures that every home shines—highlighting its best features and appealing to the tastes of today’s buyers. Once a property is prepared, Larissa positions it to capture the attention of the right buyers and achieve its full market potential. She is equally committed to seeing the process through to the finish—navigating negotiations with precision, fostering collaboration among all parties, and ensuring a seamless closing where both buyer and seller are confident in the outcome.

 

For buyers, Larissa ensures her clients gain a thorough understanding of the marketplace, with careful attention to value, views, finishes, and layouts that impact long-term investment potential. Her global resources, corporate consulting experience, and sharp negotiating skills—honed through years of working with clients across the U.S. and Germany—give her an edge in achieving her clients’ goals.

 

Larissa holds a degree in Applied Mathematics from the University of Riga and a Master’s in Computer Science from DePaul University. Before real estate, she built a successful career in corporate consulting, advising clients across the United States and Germany. This analytical foundation, combined with her international exposure, allows her to anticipate client needs, design data-driven strategies, and deliver superior outcomes.

 

A long-time Chicago resident, Larissa now calls Lakeshore East home, where she lives with her English Cocker Spaniel, Alfie. Passionate about fine art, classical music, opera, and interior design, she brings a refined eye for presentation and staging—adding value for sellers who want to maximize their return.
