JANET OWEN WINS THE HIGHEST HONOR
AT CHICAGO ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS 2013 SALES AWARDS EVENT
CHICAGO, IL – Janet Owen of Prudential Rubloff Properties received the top honor at Chicago Association of Realtors 2013
th
Residential Sales Awards Event held at The Drake Hotel on Wednesday, March 12 . The Platinum Volume award was given to
Individuals (Non-Team) for selling between $45 Million and $158 Million in real estate transactions last year.
Owen recently broke her own record of selling the highest priced single family residence in Lincoln Park ever recorded in the
Multiple Listing Service. This also marks the largest individual sale within the entire Prudential Rubloff Chicago and Suburban offices
for 2013.
1866-70 North Howe Street is an 11,000 square foot residence on a triple lot with an asking price of $10 Million and closed in
December 2013. The sale price surpasses Owen’s own sale of the same residence from 2010 which originally sold for the full asking
price of $8.5 Million.
Owen also recently broke her own record by selling the highest sale of a Gold Coast single family residence recorded in the
Multiple Listing Service since 2008, 1336 North State Parkway, with an asking price of $7.85 Million.
The sale of these two residences places Owen over the $50 Million mark in closed sales by an individual for the end of the
year 2013. “It just proves that Chicago’s upper end luxury market is alive and doing very well,” says Owen.
Owen works with her clients on an individual basis rather than with a “team” of other brokers. She prides herself on giving
personal attention to the homes and to her Buyers and Sellers. With Owen, it is about the quality of service that every home and eve-
ry Buyer and Seller deserve.
Owen has been a top producing agent throughout her 20-year career, and is consistently in the top 1% of real estate brokers
in the City of Chicago. Her approach is upscale, energetic, effective and results driven. Owen specializes in the Gold Coast, Lincoln
Park, DePaul and Michigan Avenue/Streeterville neighborhoods, and she has sold over $500 Million in residential single family
homes, condominiums and cooperatives.
Owen received Prudential Rubloff Properties’ Chairman’s Circle-Diamond Award, the highest level of achievement awarded
by Prudential. This award recognizes the top one-half of one percent of the Network’s approximately 50,000 sales professionals
