Background

About Shay Hata

I am not your typical Realtor. I’m an Ivy League grad and successful medium sized business owner. So why did I get into real estate- Because I think helping people buy their dream home is honorable- Because you deserve to be represented by a Realtor who has your best interests at heart; not my own pocketbook- Because you should have a knowledgeable and hardworking Realtor represent you who is also a cut throat Harvard trained negotiator, not someone who jumps at the first offer presented- Because buying a home or purchasing investment property is one of the most expensive purchases most people ever make and the professional representing you should be smart and financially savvy- Because you deserve an agent who is going to educate you so you can make the best long term decision for both your personal happiness and financial future- Because the person working for you should understand all of the nuances of real estate inside and out from title issues to mortgage options, appraisal reports, home inspections and more- Because real estate needs more agents who understand the importance of excellent customer service, who respond promptly and professionally 24/7, who go the extra mile and can deliver results which exceed your expectations- Because I am passionate about giving back and donate a portion of each commission to local animal rescue groups and local schools on behalf of my clients- Because after starting 2 businesses which were eventually sold to foreign investors and working for Fortune 500 companies such as PricewaterhouseCoopers, I wanted to have a job I truly loved.I was tired of hearing horror stories from friends about being represented by a Realtor who didn’t know the market, was afraid to negotiate, never returned their emails and phone calls promptly, didn’t educate them throughout the process and didn't go above and beyond to create a stress free transaction for the client so I became a Realtor.So, no, I’m not the typical Realtor. I’m better.On average I help over 175 families a year buy or sell real estate averaging $75M+ in annual sales and am a top producing Realtor in the Chicagoland area according to the Chicago Association of Realtors. In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my son and our mischievous dog.
