My Story

Get to Know Me

Margaret McSheehy is the award-winning top producing Realtor/Broker who is the smiling face behind Historic Homes  Realty in Oak Park.  Through her kind, attentive, highly professional, and personalized service built on trust, dedication, and understanding, she has become one of the area’s most trusted agents.  Her true desire to help her clients drives her tirelessly – not just to make sales happen, but to make her clients happy.  It is this dedication and level of care that led her to her award winning success.  Margaret was recently chosen by Apple News as one of Illinois' top ten most trusted agents.

Margaret is a designated Certified Residential Specialist (CRS), the highest credential awarded to residential real estate agents, held by less than 3% of Realtors in the country.  She has been recognized as a top-performing agent who has an advanced education, high production in the industry, and proven expertise in navigating complex transactions and delivering results.

Margaret seamlessly handles nearly every aspect of a sale or purchase herself, together with her amazing team of specialists, from staging, photography, listing, inspection, moving, closing, and beyond.  From the grandest estates to the smallest condominiums, she gives thoughtful attention to detail and unprecedented professionalism stemming from years of striving to provide the best service possible.

Most of Margaret's business today comes from repeat clients or referrals from past clients. People come back to her, or they send their friends and family. That kind of trust takes decades to build, and it does not happen by accident.  She treats every client like family, and in an industry that often feels impersonal, that matters. It is what trust looks like when you have spent a lifetime earning it.
