Amy Foote named 2020 Who's Who in Chicago real estate for Chicago Agent magazine
Every year, Chicago Agent magazine pauses to highlight the agents, brokers, lenders, developers, association executives and affiliates who are dedicating themselves to the Chicagoland real estate industry. These professionals are making a significant impact on the local economy through their work. They're building deep connections throughout the region and breaking records in terms of their achievements, and because of that, they've garnered a variety of acknowledgements and awards.
But also, each of the individuals in their Who's Who issue has a fascinating personal story to tell. They share how their influence and legacies are helping to build up the industry; what inspires them, how they've overcome the odds, what they've done to further their careers, and what paths they plan to embark upon in the future. They'll explain how they maintain balance while also offering their clients and fellow professionals impeccable service no matter what their specialty or career stage. You'll also read about what they do to give back to the communities that have given them so much through contributions to the organizations, charities and causes that matter most to them.
It's an exciting time for the real estate industry in Chicagoland, and the individuals in our 2020 Who's Who in Chicagoland Residential Real Estate underscore that perfectly.
This year, for her contributions to her office and her community, Amy Foote, Team Lead of The FOOTE Team @ Baird & Warner was name to Who's Who in Chicago Real Estate for Chicago Agent Magazine.
The daughter of a horse veterinarian who counts
the Chicago Police Department's horses among his
clients, Amy Foote grew up traversing Chicagoland
with her dad. She has lived in the northwestern
suburbs for 21 years — 18 of them spent working
in real estate — with her loan officer husband and
spends her days guiding clients' decision-making
toward solidifying deals.
Prior to becoming a Realtor, Foote served as
director of marketing for a psychological testing
company. After being laid off in the wake of Sept.
11, she found herself intrigued by conversations with
successful real estate agents. She decided to enter
the industry and never regretted it. Last year, Foote
was proud to see her team reach the top spot in her
office for both units and volume.
In addition to her MBA in marketing, Foote has
earned National Association of Realtors certifications
as a Graduate, Realtor Institute; Short Sales and
Foreclosure Resource; and Accredited Buyer's
Representative. She attributes much of her success
to business planning, and it shows: She's been an
award-level producer for 15 years and a Baird &
Warner Founder's Club member for the last five.
Foote covers the northwestern suburbs, going
wherever client needs take her. She creates
repeatable, successful processes for her team as
they work with buyers, sellers and investors to find
and sell single-family properties, condos, townhomes
and multifamily units. Enthusiastic and caring, she
is always accessible and informative, and her team
of eight helps provide personalized service, letting
nothing slip through the cracks.
Foote is a proud and avid fan of her children's
sports. A former athlete, she enjoys seeing their
competitive tendencies, which mirror her own. She's
also a board member for the D300 Food Pantry, which
serves a cause dear to her. Foote is invested in her
family, community and career, and the majority of her
business comes from referrals, as she maintains close
relationships after transactions are complete.
