Jill Clark

Broker
Baird & Warner

Jill Clark knows how the worlds of real estate and beauty go hand-in-hand. A former vice president at cosmetics giant Estee Lauder, she successfully leveraged her expertise in marketing, business acumen and retail knowledge to launch her brokerage career 14 years ago. Today, Clark is a luxury home specialist in Naperville whose accolades include receiving the Five Star Professional award for Top West Suburban Agent, ranking among the top 1 percent of Baird & Warner Realtors, induction in Baird & Warner’s Founder’s Club, and recognition as a top agent in Naperville. Jill Clark Homes is one of Baird & Warner’s newest brands, and exemplifies excellence through high-touch, white-glove service and a sophisticated brand developed by Clark.

Clark has the passion and desire to succeed in anything she does. Her competitive drive and proactive communication style help her get the best deals for her clients. On the buying end, she combines her industry knowledge, the latest market data, and knowledge of the psychology of negotiation to secure the best outcome for her clients. Clark is driven to
not only meet, but exceed client expectations. As Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “Nothing great was ever accomplished without enthusiasm.”

A business graduate of the University of Missouri who also holds a leadership certificate from Oxford University, Clark says she employs careful attention to detail to correctly price the homes she lists, expertly stages them to attract buyers, and informs selling agents of their value by strategically placing notecards to highlight special features throughout. She also encourages her sellers to leave a personal note to explain why they love the home, which helps to create a connection with buyers. Clark uses these innovative techniques, along with her negotiation skills, to make sure she gets only the best for her clients.

A former college basketball player, this industry veteran and mother of three is part of a highly athletic family who play volleyball, soccer and football, and
race motorcycles. Her civic engagements include volunteering as a board member with Benet Academy and White Eagle Country Club. Clark is also a member of the Luxury Home Marketing Guild. She likens her real estate expertise to an Audrey Hepburn quote describing the true beauty of a woman as evident in her soul and the passion she exhibits. “I showcase every property as a place where a family can make happy memories together, and that’s the difference between selling a house and selling a home.”
