Katie Bishop

Katie Bishop’s seasoned 20-year career in real estate can best be demonstrated

in the countless stories and relationships she has garnered over the years rather

than just through figures and statistics. During her professional career, she has

worked with buyers and sellers from Hyde Park to Lake Forest and everywhere

in-between, completing hundreds of transactions during her tenure. More

importantly, she has created invaluable relationships with families, agents,

contractors, designers, and Chicago’s elite network of industry professionals.

Whether Katie’s clients are looking for an investment property, purchasing their

first home, or enlisting her help for another move, Katie’s tireless entrepreneurial

spirit, professional connections, and determination is ever-present. As a

seasoned investor who manages her own portfolio of properties, Katie also

fosters meaningful relationships through humor, wit, boldness, and moxie. Her

keen eye for high-end aesthetics and ability to spot the hidden potential in a

home started early in her career, prompting her first purchase and remodel in

2003, and since then she has achieved a proven record of real estate excellence

resulting in her being recognized as one of Chicago’s Top Producers. Katie

has also benefitted greatly from her long-standing relationship with Sotheby’s

International Realty, which has given her worldwide reach and connections

through a truly best-in-class brokerage.

Katie’s grit and determined spirit has carried her through many of life’s hurdles,

including a brain cancer diagnosis in 2017. Thanks to her expansive network

of family, friends, and clients who rallied around her in the same way that she

has done for them in the past, Katie was able to get back to work and continue

her passion of helping others see their lifestyle dreams come to life. In her free

time, she enjoys cooking, staying active, and giving back to the community. She

regularly volunteers for Humble Design and Betsy’s Blankets, has been on the

Children’s Service Board at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital, and is an

avid supporter of the American Brain Tumor Association. Katie lives in Wilmette

with her husband and young son, jetting back and forth between the North

Shore and downtown Chicago.
