Nora Hennessy has joined Jameson Sotheby’s International Realty’s Chicago City Hub office after departing Baird & Warner.

Hennessy’s experience spans luxury listings, first-time buyers and everything in between. Her extensive market knowledge, genuine love for the intricacies of transactions and ability to anticipate her clients’ needs make her not just an agent, but a trusted advisor, advocate and friend, the company said.

Outside of real estate, she serves as the president of the Sarah’s Circle Associates Board, an organization that provides housing and support services for women experiencing homelessness in Chicago. She also volunteers with the marketing team at Salute, Inc., a nonprofit dedicated to assisting veterans.

“I’ve had the privilege of working across a wide range of price points, locations, home types, and, most importantly, people,” Hennessy said. “My commitment to transparency, educational guidance, and unwavering integrity aligns perfectly with JSIR’s luxury level of service. I was drawn to Chicago’s leading luxury brokerage not just for the high-end properties but for their boutique approach that defines luxury through exceptional hospitality. JSIR’s upscale service standard is what I deliver to every client, allowing me to focus entirely on their success.” 

Deena Schencker, designated managing broker of the Chicago City Hub said, “Nora’s passion for her clients, her attention to detail, and her drive to deliver a seamless experience make her an incredible addition to our brokerage. I know she’ll thrive here while helping her clients achieve their real estate goals.”
