Erin Booker's Profile
Helping people has always been my passion. My life has revolved around being there for others, whether it be my family, social justice causes and organizations, my students, our pets and foster pets, or now, my real estate clients.
I grew up in Portage, Indiana, but moved to Chicago when I was twelve years old. I have lived in the Chicagoland area since then. I received a Bachelors in Education from Loyola University and a Masters in Child Development from the Erikson Institute. My background in education, which began when I was fifteen years old, includes being a teacher, a developmental therapist and a director of schools. Educating people and helping them has been my calling for as long as I can remember.
My greatest passion is my children. Between us, my husband and I have five children: Sam, George, Andrew, Megan, and Ethan. We also have two adorable pups, Pax and Luna, and love to open up our home to foster dogs. I would have 100 dogs if I could! Every day of our life is an adventure!
A desire to help people, and my social work background, makes me inclined to support the emotional needs of my clients. I love helping clients find their forever homes, and I deeply understand there is more to a real estate transaction than the financial/legal transaction. Before beginning a search, you must understand and listen to your clients – and listen to what they need, even if this is unspoken. This is why I really enjoy working with first time-home buyers. Being able to guide and educate them through the process is extremely rewarding to me.

- Wes ShawWorking with Erin Booker has been an absolute pleasure. As a loan officer, I get to work with many real estate agents, but Erin truly stands out. She brings a perfect balance of professionalism, warmth, and sharp negotiation skills to every transaction. My clients consistently felt informed, supported, and confident throughout the process — thanks to Erin’s clear communication, attention to detail, and deep knowledge of the market. She goes above and beyond to advocate for her buyers and make the homebuying experience not only smooth, but genuinely enjoyable.

She’s the kind of partner every lender hopes to work with — and every client is lucky to have in their corner.
- Mason StrausbaughErin is everything you hope for in a realtor: responsive, thoughtful, and incredibly knowledgeable. My wife and I were moving to Milwaukee from out of state and buying our first pre-owned home, which could’ve been overwhelming, but Erin made it feel simple and exciting. She took the time to understand exactly what we needed and delivered at every step, from showings to negotiations. We found our perfect home quickly, and that wouldn’t have happened without her.

- Rachel FosterWe had a fantastic experience working with Erin Booker! She made it completely seamless for us to list and sell our Chicago condo from out of state. She coordinated multiple vendor quotes for us to help us get our unit in sale-ready condition at the best price, ensured the work was completed and high quality, and provided great market guidance. She was quick to respond, super organized, and was even quick to respond when I first reached out to talk to her about working with her while she was on vacation! Thanks to her we received multiple offers and sold our condo for more than expected, after just one weekend. We would happily use her again and enthusiastically recommend her services.
