The Advantage of @properties Christie’s International Real Estate

Think Local AND Think Global to Reach Your Real Estate Goals

We just attended our @properties Christies International Real Estate conference, the #CIRESUMMIT2026 at the Four Season’s in Chicago. We are always impressed by the national and internationally acclaimed & talented professionals in the Christies International Affiliates network. We enjoyed catching up with dear friends and some of the top real estate agents in the world.

Why it is so important to us to be surrounded by the “best in class real estate professionals throughout the world? Your real estate may be local now, but our network provides us the ability to help our clients purchase a second home, properties for family members, investment properties or to grow their real estate portfolios.

There is also another important consideration when buying or selling a North Shore home today: Real estate may be local now, but your opportunities are global. Having trusted real estate advisors with a global network who can quarterback your real estate transactions is your value added proposition.

A Network That Can Travel With You

When you sell your home on the North Shore and move out of state, we can connect you with professionals within their broader network who understand your destination market. The same applies internationally. There are many opportunities outside of the United States and the Christies International Real Estate experts can help our clients with their relocation.

Whether your next destination is in the United States or abroad, an extensive professional network can provide valuable connections to local experts who understand their respective markets.

Our local expertise is complemented by the resources and reach of @properties Christie’s International Real Estate. The CIRE network connects affiliated real estate professionals across numerous markets worldwide. That network can provide opportunities for collaboration and referrals between professionals in different cities and countries.

For clients, the benefit is access to a broader ecosystem of real estate relationships. It can mean connecting a North Shore property with buyers beyond the immediate Chicago market—or helping a North Shore client find a trusted professional when their real estate needs take them elsewhere.

A Global Perspective for North Shore Sellers

When selling a special property, exposure matters! You need as many eyes on your digital offering as possible. You want people throughout North America and Internationally to see your home. The potential buyer for a North Shore home may already live nearby, but they may also be relocating from another state, returning to the Chicago area, or coming from another country.

Exceptional homes deserve exceptional presentation. You only have one chance to make a first impression and Team Mangel’s marketing, home presentation and property exposure is what puts them in the Top 1% of real estate professionals. Kathryn and Kelly can combine their understanding of the local market with the marketing resources and global reach associated with Christie’s International Real Estate. We grew up on the North Shore and raised our families here. Our concierge approach to relocating our clients enables their success.

We know that there are few places where lifestyle, community, architecture, natural beauty, and proximity to a world-class city come together quite like Chicago’s North Shore. From Wilmette, Winnetka, Kenilworth, Northfield, and Glencoe, to Lake Forest and the surrounding communities, the North Shore offers an extraordinary variety of homes and lifestyles. For buyers, it can be a place to build a future. For sellers, it can be an opportunity to showcase a truly distinctive property to a global audience.
