Royal Family Real Estate was founded in 2015 by a core group of brokers that wanted to create a family oriented, locally focused, boutique real estate brokerage. The founding members are Royal Hartwig, Brenna Freskos, Beth DuFour and Wendy Cox. While at their previous brokerage, this group of brokers ranked as the #1 team in their office as well as a top 10 team in the Midwest region.

The original office was in Palatine at Quentin Road and Northwest Highway. Since then, Royal Family Real Estate has expanded in both the number of brokers and locations served. The brokerage covers the entire Chicagoland market and has a network of partner brokers for out-of-area clients.

 
The focus of the brokerage has always been on the client experience as well as assuring that its brokers are trained to be experts in their respective markets.
