Anne Hardy Lake Forest, IL Real Estate Agent Headshot

Meet Anne

Managing Broker | Relocation & Global Luxury Specialist | Top 1% Nationwide

Anne Hardy believes every client deserves a luxury experience—no matter the price point. With a decade of experience and over $200 million in closed sales, Anne has built her reputation on a simple principle: deliver exceptional service, every time.

Her career began in relocation services, where she quickly became a trusted expert for individuals and families moving to the Chicago area from around the world. That foundation gave Anne an unmatched depth of knowledge about Chicagoland’s communities, schools, and lifestyle options—insight she continues to offer clients at every stage of life.

Whether she's guiding a first-time buyer, helping a military family find their next home, preparing a property for market, or managing a complex relocation, Anne brings clarity, confidence, and results. She’s known for her boundless energy, strategic mindset, and straight-talking approach. Buyers appreciate her attentiveness and honest advice; sellers value her eye for detail, market knowledge, and ability to position homes to sell fast and for top dollar.

In 2024, Anne’s results placed her in the top 1% of all Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices agents nationwide, earning her the prestigious Chairman’s Circle Platinum Award—“Best of the Best.” She also received top 1% recognition from the Mainstreet Organization of REALTORS®. These honors reflect a year filled with competitive, multiple-offer situations where Anne’s creativity, negotiation savvy, and tactical execution consistently gave her clients the winning edge.

Anne’s 360-degree marketing strategy—complete with professional staging, standout photography, and targeted pre-marketing—has helped her clients shine in a fast-paced market. She takes pride in being hands-on from start to finish, walking sellers through room-by-room preparation and making herself available seven days a week to answer questions and offer guidance.

Serving Lake, Cook, and McHenry Counties, Anne works across all price points, from first-time purchases to upper-bracket homes. She’s also a proud community advocate, founding an annual food drive in 2020 to benefit the North Chicago Community Partners Family Care Closet.

As a Managing Broker and certified Relocation and Global Luxury Specialist, Anne pairs her extensive credentials with a personal mission: to exceed expectations, solve problems, and build lasting relationships. Her clients know they can count on her hustle, honesty, and heart—and that’s what keeps them coming back.
