Chicago & North Shore

LGBTQ-Friendly Real Estate Agent

Finding the right real estate agent matters — especially when trust, discretion, and respect are non-negotiable.

I’m Michael Beaver, a Chicago and North Shore real estate agent who proudly works with LGBTQ+ buyers, sellers, and investors. My role is simple: advocate for you, protect your interests, and help you make confident real estate decisions — without assumptions, pressure, or judgment.

Whether you’re buying your first home, selling a longtime property, or stepping into the luxury market, you deserve guidance that’s ethical, inclusive, and grounded in local expertise.


What “LGBTQ-Friendly” Means in My Practice

Being LGBTQ-friendly isn’t a label — it’s how the work gets done.

For my clients, that means:

  • Respectful, judgment-free communication
  • Clear explanations at every step of the process
  • Strict adherence to Fair Housing laws
  • Confidentiality and discretion
  • Advocacy that centers your goals, not stereotypes
  • A professional environment where you never have to explain or defend who you are

My job is not to tell you where you “should” live — it’s to help you evaluate homes, neighborhoods, and investments based on features, lifestyle fit, and long-term value.
