About Lourdes

I’m Lourdes Hernandez, top-producing REALTOR®, and trusted advisor for over two decades. My clients count on me for straight answers, smart strategy, and results that speak for themselves. A true Chicagoan through and through, I was born and raised across this city, from the South Side to the North, and today, I proudly call the Northwest Side home. My lived experience in so many diverse neighborhoods gives me a unique lens and genuine insight into the city’s fabric. I specialize in single-family homes, condos, and multi-unit properties throughout Chicago and its surrounding suburbs, bringing hyper-local knowledge and practical guidance to every client I serve. Recognized for my strategic foresight, pricing precision, and compelling marketing, I’m a relentless advocate for my clients, especially first-time buyers, growing families, and sellers ready to make their next big move. With over $150 million in closed sales and a business built almost entirely on relationships and referrals, I blend data-driven strategy with heart, hustle, and just the right dose of humor. Whether I’m fine-tuning a listing, negotiating fiercely on behalf of my clients, or spotlighting Chicago’s hidden gems and neighborhood happenings, I bring expertise, authenticity, and a personal touch to every interaction. When I’m not negotiating deals or prepping listings, you’ll likely find me riding shotgun on our Harley with my husband, who’s also the head chef of our home, chasing after our spirited German Shorthaired Pointer, Rye, or soaking up every moment with my grandbabies, who are the light of my life. As for my kids? They know the torch has officially been passed. In addition to my years of experience, I hold professional designations as an Accredited Buyer Representative (ABR), Seller Representative Specialist (SRS), and Pricing Strategy Advisor (PSA). As an active member of both the Chicago Association of Realtors and the National Association of Realtors, I stay at the forefront of industry trends and emerging technologies, equipping my clients with every possible advantage in today’s fast-moving market. Known for my integrity, expertise, and down-to-earth approach, I’ve built a reputation as a trusted advisor who genuinely cares. Whether you’re buying your first home, investing, upsizing, or preparing for a new chapter, I’m here to ensure the process feels informed, seamless, and empowering. Let’s have a conversation about your next move.
