LAYNE ZAGORIN
Real estate isn’t just about properties—it’s about people. As a Licensed Broker at Compass Real Estate, Layne brings a client-first mindset, strategic marketing expertise, and deep knowledge of Chicago’s most coveted neighborhoods, including Lincoln Park, Lakeview, Gold Coast, and the Near North Side.
Layne began her career in healthcare and nonprofit leadership after earning a MBA in Marketing and Management (following a BS in Genetics from UW-Madison). But it was during the search for her own home that she discovered a passion for real estate—specifically, for helping people find the place that fits their lives, values, and dreams.
Layne leverages innovative tools and a collaborative team environment to deliver exceptional results. Whether managing the sale of a luxury penthouse, guiding first-time buyers, or advising on new construction, she brings project management precision and heartfelt care to every transaction.
She specializes in condominiums, single-family homes, co-ops, townhomes, and new development, and prides herself on streamlining complex processes with clarity and calm. Her goal? To save clients time, exceed expectations, and make the journey as enjoyable as the destination.
When she's not working, you’ll find her on the board of JNF-USA, playing mahjong, canasta or bridge, enjoying life in Lincoln Park with my husband and two daughters, or squeezing in a workout between school pick-ups.
Let’s connect if you’re buying, selling, or exploring opportunities in Chicago real estate, call Layne today.

Client Testimonials
Working with Layne made our entire first home-buying experience possible. My husband and I had been looking in the market, unsure of what we were getting ourselves into. Layne toured homes with us, gave us her honest and true professional opinion, provided us with all knowledge needed to buy a home, and was absolutely wonderful to be around.
Bought a Single Family Home in 2022
Layne's expertise was evident throughout the process but she approached the process as a friend and mentor as well, rather than simply a service provider. She was always responsive to our questions and concerns and truly made this a fun process. I can't recommend her highly enough and will certainly work with her again down the road if and when we are ready to purchase another home.
Bought a Condo in 2020
Layne made the selling experience easy and quick, and she always made me feel like I was their most important client. She also managed to get me a good price for the property! I would gladly recommend Layne, to anyone who asks.
