For Lillian Truong, real estate is all about people, their stories, and the neighborhoods they call home. With a professional background centered around working directly with people, real estate was a natural fit—and the perfect way to combine that experience with her love for Chicago.

Lillian genuinely enjoys getting to know the city neighborhood by neighborhood, from the homes and architecture to the restaurants, bars, and hidden gems that give each area its own personality. She especially loves discovering neighborhood dive bars with memorable Malört displays and experiences.

Originally from Maryland, Lillian attended college in Arizona before making Chicago home. When she’s not working with clients or exploring the city, she spends time with Wesley, her teacup Shih Tzu. The brindle black-and-white pup is named after her favorite contestant from The Real World: The Challenge.

One more thing to know about Lillian: she can do the splits on the spot—a talent that may not come up often in real estate, but is certainly worth mentioning.
