About Roy Hawthorne
In order to succeed in Chicago's Real Estate market, you need a Realtor with both marketing and real estate expertise. Roy Hawthorne, President, Managing Broker and full time agent is uniquely qualified to help you.
Background
A Chicago-land native, Roy's marketing experience is as deep as it is broad. He received his BA in Marketing from the University of Illinois and worked in client management for five years at the Leo Burnett advertising agency. There he honed his sales and marketing skills working on blue-chip Clients such as Miller Brewing Company, Nintendo, 7-Up, Kraft and United Distillers.
Roy left the advertising industry to pursue his real passion, Real Estate, and began his career working for an Agency that gave him exposure to both residential and commercial real estate. He ventured out on his own in 1997, founding the R. Hawthorne Group, Ltd.
Experience
Roy has experience in virtually every aspect of Chicago Real Estate. He has represented a wide range of residential buyers and sellers-working on $100,000 studios to multi-million dollar single family homes. He's an expert Real Estate investment - from two-flats to strip centers to development opportunities. His breadth of commercial experience runs from 1,000 square foot office leases to $15,000,000 development projects.
Roy is a bright and personable professional with an understanding of the hectic lives of today's professionals.
Outside of Real Estate and his family, Roy's interests include golf, travel and the Chicago Cubs.
Results
With career sales over $200,000,000, Roy ranks as one of the elite salespeople in Chicago and has been the leading salesperson in his office every year of his career. His experience and versatility are evidenced by the breadth of his recent work. He closed condos, townhomes, single family homes, income properties and commercial property last year in virtually every price range.
Every property has it's own unique qualities and you need an agent who is adaptable and resourceful in this ever-changing marketplace.
Areas of Expertise
Roy is expert in several markets in Chicagoland. The majority of his business is focussed on the North Side of Chicago. He is, however, a native of the Western Suburbs (Hinsdale, Oak Brook, Clarendon Hills, Western Springs, LaGrange etc.) and sells extensively in that territory as well. His extensive referral network of top quality agents also allows him to gladly refer a buyer or seller to a pre-screened agent that Roy feels will service the client the way he would.
Roy does not specialize in one price range. It is important to know the entire market to truly understand and predict the ebbs and flows of today's volatile environment. Given the affluent areas in which Roy works, his average sale tends toward the higher end of the market.
Testimonials
Roy's a superior agent and I trust him to take care of my business as if it were his own. I've bought and sold five properties with Roy and looking for a sixth. He'll find the right place and I know he'll negotiate the best deal.

I used Roy Hawthorne when I bought my first home. He was referred to me by a friend and now, I think I've referred him more than anyone. He's really bright and makes house hunting fun. He's treated all of my referrals well and I know they'd say the same thing.
Dora V.
I highly recommend Roy Hawthorne to anyone looking to buy or sell in Chicago. I've transferred in and out of Chicago four times in the last twelve years and Roy has taken care of me every time. I've always bought for less than I expected and sold for more. I even made money on a home that I owned for just a few months.
