I Made The RealTrends List Of Top Real Estate Agents In Chicago

by Fel Salgado

My Awards and Accomplishments

I earned recognition as a RealTrends top agent in 2025 by both volume and by sides — meaning total transactions closed — for the Chicago metro area. I'm a Principal Agent with Redfin and have been in real estate since 2016, with the last 7 years at Redfin. I serve the far west suburbs, including South Barrington, Barrington, and Elmhurst, among others.

My career includes 384 closed homes totaling $119 million in sales volume. I'm also fluent in Spanish and focus on making the selling process as stress-free as possible for every client.

What Earning This Recognition Means in a Competitive Metro

In a market where the median home price is $393,614 and 41.5% of homes sell above list price, reaching 384 career transactions requires deep knowledge of local pricing and buyer behavior. With 2.9 months of supply, the far west suburbs attract strong demand and I lean on years of experience to price homes correctly and keep transactions on track.

My Largest Transactions

Five of my top transactions by sale price include 31 Overbrook Rd, South Barrington for $1,300,000 (2023), 70 Ridgecroft Ln, Barrington for $987,500 (2021), 70 Otis Rd, Barrington for $895,000 (2023), 977 S Fairfield Ave, Elmhurst for $795,000 (2020), and 118 Deepwood Rd, Barrington for $750,000 (2023).

Why I Love Being a Real Estate Agent

Being a real estate agent means more than just selling a home to me. It's about building a trusting relationship so I can put my knowledge and experience to work. I know selling a home can be overwhelming, so I make sure to alleviate the stress and be there every step of the way, from listing through closing and beyond.
