About Chris

After a successful 30-year career in advertising—crafting campaigns for brands like Quaker Oatmeal and McDonald’s—Chris Laubach brings his storytelling skills and marketing savvy to real estate. Since 2015, he’s been helping Chicago home buyers and sellers navigate the market with confidence, creativity, and a whole lot of heart.

As a seasoned Realtor based in Lincoln Park, Chris is known for his strategic approach, sharp eye for detail, and high-energy, client-first mindset. Whether he’s guiding first-time buyers, marketing luxury homes, or negotiating the best possible deal, Chris is committed to making the process smooth, smart, and even fun.

A Chicago marathoner, Chris has literally run through every neighborhood—from Hyde Park to Andersonville—giving him a unique, boots-on-the-ground perspective of the city's real estate landscape. He has been partnering for several years with his wife, longtime Chicago real estate expert Chris Stockwell, as Team Chris & Chris at Compass. And in 2025, their eldest, Sam Stockwell Laubach joined them on their team. Together, they all combine real estate expertise with top-tier marketing for a dynamic, full-service client experience.


Client Testimonials

★★★★★ Gary D. bought a condo in Lincoln Park:
“Chris L. is THE BOMB. The best realtor I've ever worked with. And I've bought and sold way too many homes than I care to admit. He's thorough, patient, understanding, attentive, listens, know the ins and outs of the market. He found me a unicorn of a place, held my hand through the sales process, alerted me to the mine fields, and gave me great advice along the way. Honestly, among real-estate agents there are many many people who all do the same thing and all work off the same playbook. Not Chris.”

★★★★★ Constantine Y. bought a single family house in the Gold Coast:
“Chris L. was absolutely fantastic! We moved to Chicago without knowing the city, and he really understood our (very picky) preferences. Chris helped us find the home of our dreams, and negotiate a great price. He was always available and helped us find out details about the house and the process.”

★★★★★ Sheridan F. bought a single family house in Lincoln Park:
"Chris Laubach has represented us on three transactions - the purchase of a condo, the sale of that condo a few years later, and the purchase of a Lincoln Park house. We were buying and selling remotely, which meant we needed lots of support. Each time we worked with him, he went the extra mile (often literally), as he met inspectors, arranged repairs, recommended vendors. When we bought our house, we looked in multiple neighborhoods and even the suburbs. Chris patiently led us through the lengthy process of househunting trips and helped us find the right home for us. I would highly recommend Team Chris and Chris!"
