REMAX adds high-producing Chicago luxury team

REMAX Premier announced that Sharon Rizzo — a Chicago real estate professional with more than four decades of experience — has joined the firm’s new Lake Forest, Illinois, office along with her team, The Rizzo Group.

Rizzo has been recognized as a Chicago Association of Realtors Golden Eagle Award recipient after closing more than $114 million in residential sales in a single year as a sole agent.

“Joining REMAX Premier and the luxury North Shore offices allows us to elevate the level of service and exposure we provide our clients,” she said. “The strength of the REMAX brand, combined with REMAX Premier’s leadership and collaborative culture, creates an exceptional platform for our team and the clients we serve.”

Her team reported more than $25 million in volume on last year’s RealTrends Verified rankings.

“Sharon’s career speaks for itself,” said Janice Corley, founder and CEO of REMAX Premier. “Her depth of experience and long-standing relationships across the market align seamlessly with our luxury North Shore offices. As we continue expanding our presence on the North Shore and beyond, Sharon and The Rizzo Group represent the caliber of professionals we seek to attract.”

As a sales manager for condominium conversions in Chicago’s Gold Coast, Rizzo oversaw six major high-rise residential projects — including Lake Point Tower.

Earlier in her career, she worked as a medical reporter and on-air broadcaster for NBC News and later served as a national spokesperson for two divisions of the Big Three automakers.

In addition to her brokerage work, Rizzo and her daughter, Realtor Kimberly Rizzo, co-developed the nationally presented seminar “Building Wealth Through Real Estate,” which highlights real estate as a long-term investment strategy.

The Rizzo Group will operate out of REMAX Premier’s Lake Forest office effective immediately — continuing its focus on luxury homes, investment properties and development opportunities across Chicago and the North Shore.
