Trevor Hughes

Founder & Managing Broker, Paper Plane Realty

​

Trevor Hughes is the founder and managing broker of Paper Plane Realty — a modern, boutique brokerage built on the belief that real estate should feel guided, strategic, and personal. A lifelong Chicagoland local who grew up in the south suburbs and has called Chicago home for nearly two decades, Trevor brings a deep understanding of the region’s neighborhoods, housing trends, and lifestyle patterns that shape where people choose to live.

​

With more than 12 years of experience at two of the largest real estate companies in the world, Trevor has mastered the systems, technology, and marketing strategies that drive real results in any market. Paper Plane Realty is the evolution of that experience: the big-brokerage tools and expertise, delivered with the boutique, client-first service most buyers and sellers never receive.

Trevor has helped clients successfully buy and sell homes across every corner of Chicagoland — from downtown high-rises and historic Chicago flats to single-family homes throughout the suburbs. His track record is built on sharp market insight, strong negotiation skills, and a calm, communicative approach that clients consistently praise in his many five-star reviews.

 

What sets Trevor apart is his philosophy:

Real estate isn’t about transactions — it’s about guidance.
Every client deserves a personalized plan, honest advice, clear communication, and a strategic partner who understands exactly what it takes to navigate the market and land smoothly on the other side.

​

Through Paper Plane Realty, Trevor is redefining what a modern Chicago real estate experience should be:
transparent, hands-on, relationship-driven, and tailored to each client’s goals.

​

Whether you’re searching for your first condo, upgrading to your dream home, relocating to the suburbs, or selling for maximum value, Trevor brings the experience, local expertise, and dedication to guide you from takeoff to landing with confidence.
