"Working with Jaclyn as my realtor for my first home purchase was an absolute pleasure. She expertly guided me through every step of the process, patiently explaining unfamiliar aspects and always being available for my questions. Jaclyn's dedication, professionalism, and knack for understanding my needs made the experience stress-free and enjoyable. I highly recommend Jaclyn to anyone seeking a reliable and knowledgeable realtor. She truly goes above and beyond for her clients, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome of my home-buying journey. " - Jaclyn K
"Jackie was knowledgable, transparent, and put us at ease during our process as first time home-buyers. She was thorough in explaining the process to us, patient in our search, and trustworthy to find us a great deal. We ended with a perfect fit and couldn't be more happy. We will most certainly use Jackie again!"- Meghan K
Jackie's interest in real estate began when she sold her two-bedroom condo, and bought her first investment property in Chicago's Roscoe Village neighborhood. There, she learned about the value in owner-occupying an investment home. Since then, Jackie has purchased and renovated three additional properties; a lake home in Twin Lakes, Wisconsin, a 1929 bungalow in Norwood Park, Chicago, and the home where she now lives. Her personal experiences have allowed her to take a hands-on approach with all of her clients, including providing invaluable knowledge about renovation expenses, managing rental properties, and staying up to date on today's preferred design choices.
Jackie currently resides with her husband, two kids, and beloved rescue dog in a restored bungalow in Park Ridge. Outside of selling and managing her personal real estate, Jackie can be found traveling, gardening, and volunteering at her kids' school.
