Lyn Sims - Broker Associate

  • Social Media Agent
  • Currently over 25 years of full-time real estate experience in the Northwest Suburban Areas of Chicago.
  • Working with one of the largest and most successful firms in the area, I can give you the greatest competitive advantage whether buying or selling!
  • Member of the #1 Listing and Selling Office in Schaumburg and Hoffman Estates areas for 2008.  You deserve and you can expect the same great service in whatever town I serve! 
  • My personal website (this one your on now!) is one of the top 75 RE/MAX agent websites in the Northern Illinois Region for 2008 and 2007 (Hey there's 3700 total agents). Currently for 2009 I am in the top 50!
  • Primary Specialty is Residential, Investment Properties, Corporate Relocation, REO.

Professional Qualifications

  • While other real estate companies are barely holding their market share, RE/MAX and I are outproducing our competitors year after year! Within the Northwest Suburban Market Area (MLSNI) for 2008, RE/MAX had 27.7% of the market share!  That's 1 out of every 4 homes in the area were sold by us - no one else comes close to our results!    Check our market share over our competitors!
  • 23.7% of Market Share for Buyers Representation in 2008.  So much for our competitors saying all we do is list property not sell it!
  • First licensed in 1983 and started her sales career with Quinlan and Tyson which became Merrill Lynch Realtors in Schaumburg.
  • Joined RE/MAX Suburban in 1989 also at the Schaumburg location. May 2009 awarded 20 years with RE/MAX.
  • Currently holds the title of Broker Associate since 1985.

  • RE/MAX Club Memberships & Awards: 100% Club and Hall of Fame, Sales Advisory Council Member.
  • Midwest Real Estate Data (MRED) Multiple Listing Service, Illinois Assocation of Realtors, National Association of Realtors, Realtor Association of Northwest Chicagoland.

Activities and Involvements

  • Civic activities and charities involved in: Childrens Miracle Network Sponsor (my company's donation total was over $58,800 for 2008) the RE/MAX Northern Illinois Region's donation total was $384,000 for 2008; Various campaigns against domestic violence;  Save the Manatee Organization in Florida;  Kevlar vests for our Illinois Police Dogs;   Locks of Love Hair Donations of which I donated 10" of my own hair in 2006;   Helping Our Heroes  which raises money for Illinois Military Personnel in financial distress due to deployment;  Pet adoption at Petfinders and Almost Home Foundation.
  • I have no time for hobbies - it's all real estate, all the time!  I do enjoy: My adopted brittany spaniel 'Bella', horses, shopping (hey, especially for shoes), international travel and I love helicopters, planes and all types of flying!  I will tell you that I've been fortunate enough to climb a pyramid in Egypt and explore Abu Simbal by camel in Aswan.  I've flown a navy trainer in a dog fight and found out that being upside down is really not that bad!  I've ridden an elephant in Thailand and yes they really are as big as you think they are and very, very quiet!  The Eiffel Tower was great and I really enjoyed seeing the Palace of Versailles and a few other castles when I was in France.  So ... I guess I've done a few other things besides real estate!
