Suzanne Luby, 
Real Estate Consultant

From first time home buyers to the most skilled real estate investors, Suzanne works with all types of clients and has remained a top producing agent through the real estate market's many changes. Suzanne's knowledge, negotiating skills and sales record have earned her consistent corporate recognition, numerous awards and a reputation as one of the most seasoned REALTORS in the Chicago Northwest Suburbs.

In addition to consulting both home buyers and sellers, Suzanne is often called upon to share her knowledge with other area REALTORS by leading workshops at Coldwell Banker's Barrington office. Every year, she invests a significant amount of time and money to stay up to date with the latest trends in real estate. She has such advanced professional designations as GRI (Graduate REALTOR Institute), CRS

Prior to becoming a licensed REALTOR, Suzanne and her husband, Tom, raised four children. Five years ago she recruited her oldest daughter, Liz Luby, to join her real estate team. Her son, Jim Luby, is also an experienced and reputable REALTOR in City of Chicago. Suzanne's daughter, Erin Luby, is a teacher, administrator and cross country coach at St. Ignatius College Prep High School in Chicago and her youngest daughter, Christine Luby, is becoming one of the top sales people at HumanScale Corporation, a company that sells high-end ergonomic office furniture.

Liz Luby,
Real Estate Consultant


After spending nearly a decade working as a Broadcast Journalist in the TV News business, Liz Luby earned her real estate license about five years ago and joined forces with Suzanne Luby. Since they formed their partnership, The Luby Group's annual sales record has nearly doubled and their business continues to grow. Liz has been a tremendous asset to The Luby Group because of her communications background.

As a former news Anchor and Reporter for KFXB-TV in Dubuque, IA and WHBF-TV in The Quad Cities, IL, Liz mastered the art of news writing and story-telling. She now uses those skills to promote The Luby Group's brand and effectively market its listings both in print and online. During countless interviews with various news sources, Liz learned to get to the root of an issue by asking relevant questions and being a good listener. Today, these skills help her better assess the needs and goals of her real estate clients. As a former morning news producer and writer for Fox News Chicago, Liz

Liz developed her skills as a team leader. Under intense deadline pressure, she consistently produced and earned recognition for high quality newscasts. Today, she applies these skills in the real estate realm by guiding seller and buyer clients through transactions with a knack for problem solving and expert attention to detail. Like Suzanne, Liz makes continued learning a high priority. She is one class away from earning her CRS

(Council of Residential Specialists) professional designation and is part of a network of top selling REALTORS from across the country.

When Liz is not selling real estate, she loves spending time with her family and playing guitar with her husband, Bill. She enjoys reading, running and photography. She has also recently taken up blogging, which fits right in with her love of journalism and story-telling. Liz plans to use her blogging hobby to help give The Luby Group's clients increased online exposure and better access to information about local real estate.

Susan Prokos,
Buyer Specialist

Susan is a very big asset to The Luby Group because she has lived in the Barrington area for over 15 years with her husband and three sons. From the neighborhoods to the schools to the sports teams, Susan knows the community very well and she welcomes the opportunity to share her knowledge and experiences with her clients.

Prior to becoming a licensed REALTOR, Susan and her husband, Dean, raised three great sons who are now 17, 19 and 21. Two are in College and one is still a Senior at Barrington High School. Even her golden retriever, Chief, is male. With so many men in her household, Susan has become a pro at understanding the male psyche! Ask her anything about the hottest sports teams. She definitely knows how to talk the talk.

When Susan's not selling real estate, she and her family love being on their boat. They own a marina in Wisconsin, which they have run since 2003. She is also a former school teacher. She taught special education and other classes for eight years. The skills Susan developed as a family business owner and an educator prepared her well for real estate. She is a sharp business woman and a hard worker with great inter-personal skills and a fun, likeable and laid-back attitude.

"I feel fortunate to be a part of such a talented team of REALTORS and I love the "hunt" of finding a home that fits perfectly into my clients' lifestyles and their needs." - Susan Prokos, Buyer Specialist."

Real Estate Tips
Financing Your Home >Lenders Want to Say Yes

If you wish to buy a home but consider yourself incapable of getting credit, you may be living in the past in terms of assessing your financial situation. Lenders have become more flexible in underwriting mortgage loans.

A recent survey of mortgage lenders revealed some interesting trends. Ninety-six percent of those surveyed had cut their standard down payment requirements for moderate-income buyers, and 93% said they are more lenient regarding debt-to-income-ratios. Ninety-four percent of those surveyed said they now have more flexible approaches to credit histories, and look at rent and utility payments more than credit cards. Seventy-nine percent of lenders say they have relaxed employment criteria. They now look more at your capacity to generate a stable flow of income rather than requiring a long history at one job.

There are more lenders today, and they are in fierce competition with each other. The home loan industry has created entire markets that cater to those with less-than-perfect credit.
