Luxury Property Specialist | Homes by Lina Shah

For Lina Shah, real estate is grounded in service, preparation, and responsibility. Her work centers on guiding clients through significant life decisions with clarity and care. This approach has made her the top agent in the Oak Brook area for several consecutive years, placed her among the top 1 percent of agents nationally, and earned her recognition as one of Crain’s Most Notable Residential Real Estate Brokers in Chicagoland. As a luxury property specialist, Lina believes luxury is defined not by a price point but by the level of service, skill, and overall buying and selling experience.

Her client-first philosophy shapes every stage of the process. From the initial conversation through closing and well beyond, she provides highly personalized preparation, communication, and guidance. That hands-on approach, combined with a deep understanding of the market and a powerful professional network, allows her to navigate complex transactions with precision and discretion while building lasting relationships.

Recognized as a Global Luxury Property Specialist and a repeated honoree among RealTrends America’s Best Real Estate Agents, Lina pairs local expertise with national and international reach. Her diverse professional background, strategic marketing approach, and strong negotiating skills position each property to achieve its highest and best potential while giving clients confidence at every step.

As both a resident and longtime real estate professional, Lina’s connection to Oak Brook is personal as well as strategic. The village’s central location, distinctive subdivisions, custom-built homes, green spaces, and top-rated schools shape how she represents properties in a market defined by architectural individuality. She is known for identifying the right buyer for each home and presenting every listing with a tailored, high-level strategy.

Her leadership extends well beyond her listings. Lina is a past president of the Oak Brook Women’s Club, currently serves on the philanthropic committee for The Women of Oak Brook, and is a member of the Assistance League, reflecting her longstanding commitment to the community she serves.

At every stage of the process, her focus remains the same: putting clients first and guiding them with experience, expertise, and dedication, delivered at the highest level.

Kristina and Matthew Bailey began reading books to their son, Owen when he was six months old— they haven’t stopped.
Owen turned 4 in June and recently received an award from the Clarendon Hills Public Library for having had 1,000 books read to him before starting kindergarten.

The library’s 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten Challenge is one of a few reading challenge programs offered in Clarendon Hills, where the Bailey family has lived for the past 2 1/2 years.
Kristin Bailey said she saw an ad about the 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten Challenge and decided it was a good fit for Owen.

“He’s always been really into books,” Bailey said. “He had a natural interest in books at nine months old. That’s when COVID started, and he didn’t get out much, so reading books to him worked out very well. He’s a naturally curious kid, and imagination-building is important. The reading allows him to learn and explore new things, and he really wants to learn to read now.”

Krista Devlin, the Clarendon Hills library’s youth services librarian, said there’s a specific reason The Friends of the Library-sponsored 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten Challenge was started in 2022.

“Reading aloud to a child is one of the best ways to help develop important early literacy skills, which will prepare them for kindergarten,” Devlin said. “It is also a great way to bond with your child and to encourage a love of reading.”

Devlin said Owen was the second child to reach the challenge of having 1,000 books read to him before starting kindergarten. He was awarded a certificate, a crown, and his picture was taken to recognize his accomplishment.

Bailey, who said she is “a big reader,” said her family usually goes to the library once a week. Reading three books each night to Owen, along with a book before nap time, is the household normal.

“Consistency in our routine has been good and is important,” she said, adding that Owen’s two sisters, ages 2 1/2 and 1
