Baird & Warner and Dream Town, two significant independent real estate firms in Chicago, are merging to create a leading residential brokerage in the region. The combined entity will operate with nearly 3,000 agents and support staff across more than 30 offices. The merger aims to provide a competitive alternative to consolidated brokerages dominated by Wall Street, enhancing service offerings, technology, and community engagement for agents. Steve Baird and Yuval Degani emphasize shared values and commitment to client service as pivotal reasons behind this strategic decision.
Throughout our 170-year history, we have sought to make bold moves that sharpen our competitive edge and enhance the value we bring to our agents and their clients.
Every major brokerage in town is now run by Wall Street or a hedge fund, Degani said. [...] we envisioned creating an even more competitive, locally committed and powerful independent alternative for agents.
