Summary · why it matters

Ryan Serhant's brokerage is launching Serhant Illinois on Tuesday with two offices serving the North Shore suburbs and the city of Chicago, staffed by an initial roster of more than 40 agents. The move marks the firm's first footprint in the Midwest, following expansions earlier this year in Massachusetts, California, Texas and Colorado, and brings Serhant to 38 offices across 17 states. The new branch is drawing talent from local heavyweights, poaching 15 agents from Sotheby's International Realty, 10 from @properties Christie's, five from Baird & Warner, three from Compass and one each from Keller Williams and REAL, according to the initial roster shared with The Real Deal. Dina Lissner, formerly of Baird & Warner, will lead the Illinois practice, joined by founding agents Melissa Siegal, Jennifer Mills Klatt, Bobby Grilli and Brendan Murphy. Serhant's agents collectively represent over $600 million in sales volume over the past year throughout the Chicagoland region, and the firm enters a market where @properties Christie's still ranks as the top brokerage with $7.85 billion in sales, according to The Real Deal's 2025 rankings of Chicago residential firms.
