Baird & Warner appoints new VP sales manager for North Center office in Chicago

Kate O’Neill

Baird & Warner, Illinois’ largest family-owned independent real estate services company, announced the promotion of Kate O’Neill to vice president, sales manager of its North Center office in Chicago. O’Neill joined Baird & Warner in 2020 as a broker associate at the firm’s Lincoln Park office.

A Midwest native originally from Milwaukee, O’Neill spent time in Washington, D.C. before settling in Chicago. She has a degree in business management from American University and over a decade of business management experience prior to joining Baird & Warner.

In her new role at Baird & Warner, O’Neill will build off of her experience at the Lincoln Park office, where she excelled in training and mentoring fellow agents. As opposed to other real estate companies that allow their managers to buy and sell in competition with their agents, Baird & Warner’s managers, like O’Neill, focus entirely on the development and success of the agents in their office.

An avid baker and reader, O’Neill enjoys spending her free time outside with her dog and exploring the city of Chicago.

Baird & Warner North Center has served Chicago’s northern neighborhoods for more than 25 years, including the communities of North Center, Lincoln Square, Ravenswood, Lakeview, Rogers Park and Edgewater.
