I Earned RealTrends Recognition As A Leading Chicago Agent

by Layching Quek

My Awards and Accomplishments

I'm a Principal Agent with Redfin in the Chicago metro area. In 2025, I was recognized as a RealTrends top agent by volume and by sides — meaning total transactions closed. I hold President's Club status at Redfin and have been in real estate for 22 years.

My career spans 697 closed homes totaling $430 million in sales volume. I work across the near northwest side of Chicago, representing sellers, buyers, new construction clients, and investors. I'm fluent in Mandarin, Cantonese, Fijian, and Malay.

Why Two Decades of Production Set a Foundation

Reaching 697 career transactions and $430 million in sales volume reflects 22 years of consistent production. In the Chicago metro, where the median home price is $393,614 and 41.5% of homes sell above asking, my multilingual skills and deep market knowledge serve a wide range of clients. With 2.9 months of supply, the market remains competitive for both buyers and sellers.

My Largest Transactions

Five of my top transactions by sale price include 1838 N Hudson Ave, Chicago for $3,503,525 (2025), 1219 W Wrightwood Ave, Chicago for $3,150,000 (2025), 1209 N Astor St, Chicago for $3,100,000 (2017), 640 W Belden Ave, Chicago for $2,950,000 (2022), and 3938 N Greenview Ave, Chicago for $2,750,000 (2020).

Why I Love Being a Real Estate Agent

Buying a home is a huge decision. I bring extensive experience and local market knowledge to every transaction, providing clients with up-to-date feedback, trends, and a realistic view of the current market. My dedication, tenacity, and perseverance are there to make the process as smooth as possible.
