Since 1995, Shrake Group has served thousands of clients as residential and commercial real estate brokers. Its three divisions, Global Luxury, Commercial & Investor Services, and Residential, serve their clients' specific needs.

Group founder Matt Shrake began his award-winning career at the corner of Ashland Ave and Diversey Pkwy and has spent the last 25+ years expanding and deepening client services using Coldwell Banker's platform to serve clients. He knows the city intimately, is an industry leader, and spends countless hours staying current on the real estate market. Matt has given his time to neighborhood councils, non-profits for underprivileged neighbors, public and private schools, youth athletic boards, urban renewal, sports coaching, and numerous other community-building efforts. He knows and loves Chicago and its neighborhoods and people, and Chicagoans from all walks of life know and respect Matt. His passion for selling, developing, and managing real estate across Chicago’s great neighborhoods and nearby suburbs, and the tremendous support and loyalty of his client base has pushed Matt to bring on additional enthusiastic brokers and staff over the years to grow into today's Shrake Group.

Laura Apostolopoulos joined the team in 2016 as an unlicensed assistant. She quickly realized she too wanted to become a broker helping clients realize their dreams. She got her real estate broker's license shortly thereafter, and began building her own client database. Laura and her beautiful young family moved from River West to Chicago's western suburbs in 2017. She has quickly established herself as a trusted local west and southwest Chicago suburb Realtor, and her move has expanded Shrake Group's Chicagoland footprint.

"The best realtor! Laura made selling for us so easy...she was always on top of everything and our house sold and closed with great timing! If you want the best realtor, who is very efficient, call Laura! "

  -Gary and Donna Knops, Client

"I had pre-approved my client for a home who was not happy with their first agent. As soon as Laura took over, she worked diligently and non-stop to ensure to find our Client a home. She was always available when needed and also always around when our client needed to see a home. During my mortgage process, Laura was always on top of things ensuring to get answers from the sellers side and would fight for her buyers. Most importantly, she is very understanding, very professional, and we ended up getting our mutual client to the closing table with no issues or problems. Whenever someone is in need of a real estate agent, I will always recommend Laura as one of the hardest working agents I know. Thank you Laura for being so great! "
