Second year in a row I made the Who’s Who list with Chicago Agent Magazine, and I still can’t quite believe it.

Quick behind the scenes moment, I drove all the way out to Aurora for the shoot in my slippers and didn’t put my heels on until I got there. My kids saw me in this dress before I left and said I looked like “old money,” so that’s how the outfit got picked.

Here’s the part that actually matters to me though. My business exists because of two things, my clients and the people who follow along online. Both of you are the reason I get to be in rooms like this. Getting to be part of someone’s homeownership journey, whether I closed the deal with you or you’ve just been watching from your phone, that’s the whole job to me.

So thank you, genuinely.

We’ve spent years building a team that does things differently.

We answer the phone. We solve problems others struggle with. We over communicate. And we deliver.

Translation: we enjoy the difficultly of this business and making it only look easy.

That standard has helped us build something I’m incredibly proud of at Union Home Mortgage Corp..

Honored to see the Brigham Mortgage Team recognized in Chicago Agent Magazine’s 2026 Who’s Who alongside the best in our industry.

Honored to be included in Chicago Agent Magazine’s Who’s Who 2026! ❤️

Almost nine years in real estate, and what I love most about this business really hasn’t changed, the relationships, the people, and getting to be a resource for my clients far beyond just buying or selling a home.

Thank you Chicago Agent Magazine for including me in the 2026 Who’s Who issue, and thank YOU to everyone who has been part of the journey. ❤️

IT HAPPENED!!! It’s official. 💛

I am incredibly honored to be featured in Chicago Agent Magazine’s
2026 Who’s Who in Chicagoland Real Estate-
on newsstands TODAY! 🌞

Read my feature here:
https://chicagoagentmagazine.com/whos-who-2026/katie-obrien/

This recognition hits a little differently because the road here has not been neat, easy, or anything close to a straight line.

There have been difficult seasons, unexpected changes, setbacks, and moments when I had to totally rebuild before I felt ready.

There were late nights studying, testing, filing paperwork, learning new systems, solving one problem only to find three more waiting…
and continuing to serve my clients through all of it.

Opening Radiant Group Realty wasn’t simply a business decision.
It required taking a very big chance on myself.

It took courage, work, sacrifice, and more than a few moments of wondering if I had completely lost my mind. 👀

But I kept going.

So when I look at this badge, I don’t just see an accomplishment.
I see every client who trusted me, every hard decision,
every closed door,
every quiet hour of work nobody saw, and
every time I chose to believe that rebuilding could lead to something even better.

Recognition is never the reason you do the work- but having that work seen and acknowledged is an incredible honor, especially at this moment in my journey.

I’m proud of what I’ve built, incredibly grateful for everyone who has supported me, and genuinely excited about everything still ahead!

Chicago Who’s Who 2026. On newsstands today.
It’s officially official. ✨

And yes…I will probably be buying more than one copy. 😂

A Day in the Life of a Real Estate Agent! 🏙️☕
Angela and I had a fun-filled day in the city, starting with a photo shoot for Chicago Agent Magazine, followed by coffee at a great new spot on Wells Street. From there, it was back to the Lincoln Park office for agent training and networking.
One of the things I love most about this business is that no two days are ever the same! From marketing and education to helping clients achieve their real estate goals, every day brings something new.
Angela is ready to help with all of your Chicago real estate needs—from rentals and first-time purchases to your next move in the city or suburbs.

Feeling especially grateful today 🤍

I was recently included in the Who’s Who of Chicago, and seeing these photos made me stop for a second and think about the last 14 years.

14 years of buying, selling, negotiating, problem-solving, celebrating, stressing 😂, and getting to be part of some really important chapters in people’s lives.

If there’s one thing I haven’t changed my mind about after 14 years, it’s this:
The client comes first.

I don’t want to put someone in a house just because it’s an easy sale. I want them to find the right house.

Sometimes that means negotiating harder. Sometimes it means telling a client to walk away. Sometimes it means being patient when we’ve seen more houses than we want to count.

But I would rather lose a commission than put my client in the wrong home.

I’m incredibly grateful for the people who have trusted me with their homes, their moves and their referrals over the years. This achievement goes to all of you.

Here’s to the next chapter. 🤍

Cheers,
Katie

P.S. - If you’re thinking about making a move in Chicago or the suburbs, I’d love to hear what you’re thinking about, even if you’re not ready yet. 🏡
