Tara Schlitz

Born and raised in Chicago’s Beverly/Morgan Park neighborhood, I have deep roots in the community and a strong appreciation for its charm and history. I attended Sutherland Elementary School, St. Ignatius College Prep, and later earned my Bachelor’s degree from the University of Illinois. My journey then brought me back to Chicago, where I pursued a Master’s degree at Columbia College and made my first home purchase in the Beverly neighborhood—a condo in 2005—before settling into our family home with my husband in 2008.
With a background spanning 17+ years in the auction and appraisal industry, I bring a unique perspective to real estate, helping homeowners navigate the buying and selling process with confidence. My experience as an Auction Director for a luxury real estate firm further aligns with my passion for connecting clients to strategic opportunities in the market.
I’m proud to be part of the EXIT Strategy Realty team, founded on Nick Libert’s vision of innovation, growth, and community engagement. Nick’s leadership has propelled EXIT Strategy Realty onto Inc. Magazine's list of the 5000 Fastest Growing Privately Held Companies, with a strong presence in Chicago, Northwest Indiana, and Southwest Michigan.
Whether you’re looking to buy, sell, or invest, my expertise in auction strategy, market analysis, and customer-focused service ensures a seamless real estate experience. I am dedicated to providing exceptional service with integrity and transparency, always prioritizing my clients’ best interests.
Here’s what one of my recent clients had to say:
"Tara was an absolute pleasure to work with! Her knowledge of the market, attention to detail, and commitment to our needs made the home-buying process stress-free. She guided us every step of the way and truly had our best interests at heart."
