I am a real estate broker with over a decade of experience focused on representing fiduciaries in selling and buying estate-held residential properties and have closed over 100 fiduciary transactions. As a licensed attorney and former counseling and negotiation professor, I bring a unique set of skills to this specialized area.
I represent both individual and institutional clients. I regularly work with The Northern Trust, First Midwest Bank (now Old National), Arboretum Wealth Management, FNBC and Devon Bank, as well as various law firms. I have represented my fiduciary clients on a wide range of properties. I have sold properties in 2550 N Lakeview, 100 E Huron, 1555 N Astor, 1530 N State Parkway, as well as led the acquisition of millions of dollars of investment properties.
I place great value and pride in the relationships I have built with my clients. For my fiduciary clients, the trust that they place in me extends to their professional relationships for which their practices and livelihoods depend. They are trusting me to honor their clients’ needs (transactional and emotional), the needs of the judges before whom the cases are pending (and who sometimes assign them new estates / cases), and the needs of attorneys who often refer clients to the institutions.
John was a pleasure to work with. He was knowledgeable about the municipality processes. He was on top of everything and got our house sold quickly. He was very helpful with the negotiation as well!

My experience with John Spieske was excellent! His professionalism, advice and knowledge was remarkable. He helped me through the sale every step of the way. He always answered his phone and explained everything to me so I could understand, I would highly recommend him.
Great experience working with John!
John is absolutely phenomenal at his job and is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to the real estate transactions that involve guardianships and estate settlement. I cannot thank him enough for his expertise and help!
The best realtor I have worked with. Period.
It was such a pleasure working with John who helped us to sell the property of a recently deceased family member while we lived in a different state. He is professional and compassionate, gently educating us in the process during a difficult time for our family. I appreciate his responsiveness and guidance in making sure that we were well informed each step of the way.
John was fantastic. I cannot thank him enough for his great service and personal attention he gave me and my family on a difficult emotional estate transaction.
Great to work with . Knew how to get the property sold in a timely manner. Would be happy to work with John again !!
John takes his work seriously is quite knowledgeable and above all is a pleasure to work with. Baird and Warner is lucky to have such a good representative.
John is by far the hardest working realtor I have ever met. He represented my uncle's estate selling his house in Bucktown and he went the extra mile to make sure I was happy with the selling price for the property even though it involved significant effort on this end, when many other realtors would have strongly encouraged me to sell the building with the first offer we received.

John is a wonderful realtor. He really helped us to sell our son’s condo.
