Carmen Ruiz's Profile

Growing up just 30 minutes from Chicago in Indiana, I developed a deep admiration for Chicago’s architecture and real estate. Watching my father build high-rise buildings through the city instilled in me a strong appreciation for the last impact real estate has on communities. 

 

Before transitioning into real estate, I had a successful career in education, where I served as a Director of Education. My focus was on advocating for teachers and students, ensuring they had the resources and support they needed to thrive. I transitioned into real estate because I believe a home is more than just a place…it is a reflection of your lifestyle, future and community. I take a hands-on, education approach. My goal is always to ensure my clients feel confident and supported throughout their real estate journey.

 

As a real estate advisor, my greatest passion is helping my clients feel informed, confident, and supported throughout their buying or selling journey. I aim to build strong, trusting, and long-lasting relationships with my clients by always advocating for their best interest. I joined Engel & Völkers and the Booker Group because the values of trust, professionalism and community resonate deeply with me. With tools, resources, and brand reputation behind me, I’m able to offer my clients an unmatched level of expertise, service, and global exposure, ensuring their real estate journey is as seamless and rewarding as possible. 

 

I wake up every morning driven by my passion for helping others succeed, whether through education or real estate. The opportunity to make a meaningful impact in people’s lives and create lasting relationships is what motivates me to work hard every day.

  • David Andersen
    Erin Booker helped me to buy my condo and did a tremendous job. There were many extenuating circumstances that she had to deal with and she always rose to the occasion. She definitely made things much easier for me and she helped take away the stress of purchasing a new property. We love Erin and you should use her for any of your real estate needs.
  • Gallery House
    My husband and I are not easy clients - we have definite ideas about the property that will work for us and nothing else will do, but the Booker Group more than met our expectations. We worked with Erin over a period of years while hunting for the perfect home. She was always responsive to our requests and thorough when answering our questions. When we found what we'd been looking for, both Erin and Ellis went above and beyond to get information from vendors and contractors that helped us make a good decision.
  • Kimberly Carpenter Petit
    Erin was amazing guiding me through the sales process. Due to numerous prior commitments I would not have been able to sell at this time if it were not for Erin's assistance. Thank you for everything!
  • K W
    Working with Erin Booker was an outstanding experience. As an out-of-state seller, I needed someone who could handle every detail with professionalism and clear communication, and Erin exceeded expectations from start to finish. She kept me fully informed, coordinated seamlessly with local contractors and buyers’ agents, and ensured that the process stayed on track without me having to be physically present. Her pricing strategy and marketing were spot-on—we ended up selling my condo over list price, which was beyond what I expected. If you’re looking for a broker who is knowledgeable, resourceful, and genuinely invested in her clients’ success, I highly recommend Erin. She made what could have been a stressful long-distance sale into a smooth, confident, and successful transaction.
