Sarah O’Shea Munoz, Realtor
Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Chicago

With a contractor grandfather, a real-estate attorney father
and an architect brother, Sarah O’Shea Muñoz, a Realtor
with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices, was immersed in
the real-estate world from an early age. As Muñoz reflects,
“Growing up, I was surrounded by family conversations about
the housing industry, and I feel like it is part of my DNA.”
She studied finance and then worked in investment sales
for 10 years in Chicago. Muñoz has lived in both Oak Park
and River Forest for over three decades, which has provided
her firsthand knowledge of the local neighborhoods. After
raising her now-adult daughters, Muñoz wanted to utilize her
business skills to help people obtain the “American dream” of
home ownership. She became a Realtor® in 2004 and has been
selling property across the western suburbs since.

Muñoz is the “consummate professional,” according to one
of her clients. She has an insatiable desire to help others
achieve their housing goals, which propels her success. She
prides herself on establishing rapport by actively listening,
asking insightful questions and understanding client needs.
Moreover, her industry expertise, combined with strong
communication skills, lay the groundwork for successful
transactions and satisfied clients.

Muñoz helps many buyers and sellers upsize, downsize and
transition to their next chapter. She uses new technology
to streamline the transaction process for the consumer
and adjusts to client needs by being flexible, knowing their
communication preferences and managing expectations. “It is
a privilege to earn clients’ trust negotiating complex deals and
being their referral resource,” says Muñoz.

Muñoz is in the top 6% percent of the Berkshire Hathaway
HomeServices national Realtor network and earned the
BHHS 2020 President’s Circle award. She was also named
a 2021 Notable Residential Real Estate Broker by Crain’s
Chicago Business. Spending time with her family, mentoring
high school girls, playing racket sports and swimming keep
this River Forest resident busy in her spare time.
