Chicago, IL, February 15, 2012 --(PR.com)-- RE/MAX Northern Illinois agents sold the second largest number of residential real estate listing units in the City of Chicago during 2011.

According to statistics released by Midwest Real Estate Data, LLC, the local regional multiple listing service, RE/MAX Northern Illinois brokerages sold 1,485 listings in the city during 2011, second only to Chicago's @properties. This number puts RE/MAX ahead of such other prominent competitors as Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage, Baird & Warner and Prudential.
RE/MAX agents also represented buyers in 1,210 home sales during 2011, giving RE/MAX brokerages a combined 2,695 attached and detached Chicago home sales last year.
RE/MAX Northern Illinois first vaulted into the second-place spot for listings sold in Chicago during the first half of 2011. During those six months, RE/MAX boasted the largest increase in transactions among Chicago's top six real estate brands.
"We are all proud of the year that RE/MAX agents and brokerages had in 2011," said Laura Ortoleva, a spokesperson for RE/MAX Northern Illinois. "RE/MAX offices are staffed by some of the most talented and hard-working agents in the city. It's little surprise that RE/MAX remains a major player in the Chicago housing market."
