After earning two degrees from Iowa's Cornell College in 1991, Todd Szwajkowski moved back home to Chicago and began a career in Marketing. He immediately made his home on the north side and has always taken great pride in being a son of this great city. Over the next thirteen years, Todd worked in marketing for a Chicago neighborhood redevelopment organization, an international hardware retailer and global marketing and promotions agency.
In making the transition to real estate, Todd brought a wealth of knowledge in marketing and project management - two skill sets essential to successfully managing real estate transactions. His first year in the industry ended with a commendation from the Chicago Association of Realtors for sales volume. And each subsequent year has established him as a "Top Producer" in the market. In addition to transactional business, Todd has added real estate development to his portfolio. Projects include renovations of both multi-unit properties and single-family homes.
The growth of Todd's business over recent years has been based solely on referrals - a testament to the priority he places on personal attention to his clients. For Todd, it's more than just a sale; truly understanding his clients' needs and maintaining an unwavering attention to detail supports a smooth transactional process and ensures that his clients' goals are exceeded.
This business philosophy serves as the foundation of SwakeGroup - the real estate team Todd established in 2007. He is emphatic that "Walking you home, every step of the way." is not just a tagline - but rather - a mission statement.
When not working, Todd indulges his passion for travel, architecture and being on the water. He is a regular supporter of Habitat for Humanity, the Human Rights Campaign, and The Lincoln Park Community Shelter.
Thanks for everything with the sale -- you were great to work with through a stressful process. If I make it back to Chicago, I'll definitely be in touch, and I'll be sure to send anyone looking to buy/sell in Chicago your way in the interim!

Brian and Andrea W.Buena Park Brian and I wanted to express our appreciation for all of your efforts in selling our townhouse. We are confident that the work and staging Todd recommended upfront along with the marketing of the property are the reasons that our unit sold so quickly and at a great price. It is such a great feeling to head into the holidays/winter without a house sitting on the market! Your excellent responsiveness was appreciated as well. We will not hesitate to recommend you in the future.

Patricia T. If 5 is the highest, then I rate Todd a 6! Mine was a tough deal, but Todd stood strong. He handled every aspect with poise, professionalism, and determination. I always felt like he had my back. His advice was wise and a comfort when the going got tough. Todd will entertain, articulate, provide sound guidance through his wealth of knowledge and make you very happy you chose him for your real estate needs. You want this guy on your side!
