Exclusively featured agent on HGTV's House Hunters
With nearly 20 years in the Chicago real estate industry, Brooke has proven herself as a fierce negotiator and force to be reckoned with in Chicago’s competitive real estate market. As a lifelong Chicago and North Shore resident, Brooke’s in-depth understanding of the local market extends through all aspects of her life. From her earliest memories of being dragged to open houses by her mother, exploring the beautiful homes that line the Chicago lakefront; Brooke developed a deep-rooted love of homes with all their design and architectural potential. Following her graduate school experience in Psychology, Brooke’s years spent marketing with Jim Beam Brands enabled her to master those critical people skills of negotiating, selling, and strategizing.
The culmination of these experiences led her to pursue a full time career in the real estate business and have contributed to her ongoing success. Brooke's accolades are nothing short of remarkable. Brooke has been recognized as a Top Producer by the Chicago Association of Realtors (CAR) every year since 2009, and was also recognized as the Top Producing Individual Agent at Dream Town in 2016. She is in the top 1% of brokers across Illinois, and boasts over $370 million and 770 units in career sales, with $100 million in new construction sales.
With a background in sales, marketing, and psychology, Brooke is able to draw on her knowledge to better connect with her clients and help them navigate the complexities of buying and selling. Brooke develops a plan to suit each of her client’s needs, whether working with buyers, sellers or investors. From new construction to resale, she understands that communication is critical to success in real estate, and is committed to connecting with her clients regularly. Brooke has worked diligently to maintain her positive client relationships, and her client satisfaction has resulted in building her nearly 100% referral-based business.
Brooke’s philosophy is simple—buying and selling property should be a smooth, enjoyable process. She understands that the decision to buy and sell can feel overwhelming, and requires a serious commitment for her clients. Brooke sees her responsibility to her clients as two-fold; she wants them to achieve their real estate goals, while also ensuring they receive reliable, knowledgeable, and honest service every step of the way. Real estate isn’t just a career for Brooke, it’s also her passion. She built a custom home and investment property for herself in her free time, and owns and manages several investment properties across the city. Brooke's greatest joy is her son, Beckett, and she loves being a dog mom to Liberty Bell, too. In her free time she enjoys traveling the world, food, pickle ball and yoga.

Thanks again to Brooke and Heather for walking us though every step of a messy purchase and helping keep us sane!!! Would gladly recommend to anyone looking for help buying or selling.
As a first-time home buyer, I did not realize how many variables can impact the selection and price of a home. Brooke was great at identifying locations with the attributes I wanted within a given price range, able to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each property without forcing a decision, and was able to accurately predict the final sale price very early in the process. Bri...
Dear Brooke,I am a proud owner of a condo in Lincoln Park! I can't believe we did it! Though I have lived in close to 20 different homes in my life, this is the first that I have initiated and bought by myself. Life is so interesting. I mentioned my intentions to a friend in Hilton Head, SC who immediately put me in touch with you. My timing was terrible as I began the process when I was...
My girlfriend and I are first time home-buyers and therefore were new to the entire process. Brooke Daitchman was incredibly patient with us throughout our search in showing us literally 100+ properties. In addition to her patience, she referred us to our loan officer and real estate attorney who both turned out to be great. I would absolutely recommend Brooke and Dream Town to anyone st...
Due to a job relocation within my company I was faced with the heavy task of having to sell my condo in an unstable housing market and certainly not the best economy. This was my first experience with the home selling process and I knew it was probably going to be a challenging one. The services of Dreamtown and Brooke were recommended to me for my real estate needs, so I entrusted them ...
She found us our dream home! When it comes to service, knowledge, and professionalism, Brooke is top notch. Throughout the entire experience of purchasing our home, she looked out for our best interest and constantly made sure we were kept in the loop. She made the process of finding, bidding on, and purchasing our home one that was truly memorable. There is no doubt that Brooke is passi...
I was referred to Brooke by a close friend after working with an agent that was "just not available" when needed. After working with Brooke only 1 day I knew she would not only be available but committed to finding us the perfect home. I also appreciated how knowledgeable she was as well as patient this being my first home purchase. She also referred me to a lender that was equally knowl...
Brooke was extremely helpful in helping us find the condo we were looking for. She was very attentive, and communicative throughout the whole process. Her honesty and openness were appreciated, and it always felt like she had our best interests in mind. I'd definitely work with Brooke again, and recommend others to utilize her services.Sue and Chris, Hyde Park
As someone from out of town, I had little knowledge about the Chicago real estate market and therefore needed to be educated regarding the different neighborhoods and apartments available in the city. Not only was Brooke (Daitchman) well informed and helpful, she was extremely patient, helping me view a wide range of apartments across the city without any pressure and with plenty of valu...
We were first time buyers and Brooke was amazing!!! Our situation was a bit unique as we were looking to come back to the Midwest after living in California for two years and had one weekend to look at and make an offer on a home. Brooke did tons of leg work before our visit. She provided us with countless listings to view, and really got a great sense of who we were and what we were loo...
Brooke is an incredible realtor that made our home purchase a very smooth and pain free process. From our first meeting, Brooke listened to what we wanted in a new home and set up multiple showings for us to see each time out. The best part of this experience was that Brooke paid attention to what we liked/disliked at each place we saw, then used that information to continue to refine wh...
I have worked with many real estate agents over the years, and Brooke was among the most energetic and responsive I have encountered. She is also a very nice and interesting person. Oddly, I had a professional referral to another Chicago agent. I knew virtually nothing about Chicago real estate, but was asked to help a close friend buy a condo. In doing some casual Internet shopping, I s...
Brooke is a fantastic realtor! My husband and I highly recommend her.She works with you to identify your needs and find the perfect home.Brooke worked non-stop until we found the most perfect place possible. Brooke is a dream to work with!! She understands the Chicago market and when a good deal comes along. She is always prepared and ready to jump on an opportunity at a moments notice. ...
As people know selling a home is not a very easy thing to do especially in the market that we have had in the past several years, however Brooke made our experience one of the smoothest transactions anyone could ever ask for. Brooke walked us through every step of the process from start to finish. Brooke understands the Chicago market and also understands the needs of her clients. She do...
My husband and I felt it would be difficult for us to sell our house in a timely manner in the current market. However, with Brooke's expertise we had a contract for asking price within one week of listing and even found and had a contract on our dream home within weeks. From the early stages of staging to the negations and all the way thru to closing, Brooke's hard work, reliability and...
I connected with Brooke through a strong referral from a colleague who had worked with her to sell a property in Lincoln Park a few years back. I was relocating back to Chicago area after selling my home in Downstate IL. Since the transition from a rural market back to 'downtown' living is drastically different, I was apprehensive on whether I was going to be able to find a property with...
We were first-time home buyers and already knew the property we wanted when we came to Brooke. So, in our ignorance, we thought she only needed to shepherd us across the closing line. I'm sure we still don't fully understand how wrong we were, and how much Brooke did behind the scenes for us. We had a unique financing situation, an expedited schedule, and renovations we were trying to pl...
Brooke was awesome. I would hire her anytime we had a real estate need
Brooke helped my wife and I find a townhouse in Lakeview. We moved from the west loop and had only been in Chicago for 2 years so it was great having someone with so much knowledge about the local market. Brooke also had great referrals for all the other things you need when buying a first home; attorney, home inspector, mortgage broker. Very pleased with the overall experience and will ...
