??We've shared about St. Patrick's Day celebrations before, and for those in the Chicago metro area, the Irish spirit runs deep all year long. With rich Irish roots and a vibrant community, there's no need to limit the fun to just one weekend in March. From traditional music and sports to cultural events or simply enjoying a pint at a cozy Irish pub, here’s how you can keep the Irish spirit alive throughout the year in Chicagoland.

We’re happy to announce that Baird & Warner has been awarded the Good Things Award at the 2025 Leading Real Estate Companies of the World? conference. This award honors one brokerage and one agent who each positively impacted their local community by supporting a cause near and dear to their heart. We were honored for our ongoing partnership with Habitat for Humanity Chicago. By 2026, our total donation to Habitat Chicago will exceed $1 million, thanks to a dedicated partnership through our charitable arm, Good Will Works. Habitat Chicago’s focus on comprehensive community-building resonates deeply with our mission to create lasting, meaningful change. It’s bigger than shelter — it’s about strengthening communities as a whole, so the people who live there can lead healthy, safe and prosperous lives. We're grateful for the opportunity to give back??.
