As she joins Compass, Grace Goro Kaage brings over a decade of experience in the real estate industry, previously serving as Vice President of Sales and Designated Managing Broker for @properties' Streeterville and Gold Coast offices in Chicago.

"The real estate industry is rapidly changing and agents today deserve a brokerage that's willing to invest in the technology and resources necessary to provide exceptional service to clients in this landscape. Compass is that brokerage," Kaage said in a Compass press release.

She explains how she has sold in this environment, giving her a unique understanding of the challenges facing agents in this market.

Kaage continues: "No other company is reshaping the real estate industry by using technology to make people better, rather than replace them, and it's resulting in stronger relationships between the agent and the client. That's an evolution I knew I needed to be a part of, and one that I could positively impact."

Also serving as a board member, chairperson, and founder for various organizations in her local community and the real estate industry, Kaage also carries a wealth of philanthropic, organizational, and managerial proficiency to Compass.

She is also a recipient of various awards, including being named one of Crain's 2018 Most Influential Residential REALTORS in Chicago and part of a 2017 Top Producer Team.

Grace Goro Kaage is also a third-generation managing broker. Her father, Chuck Goro, is a legendary broker who was one of the most successful sales managers and vice presidents in the Chicago area for about four decades.
