Kevin Kelly helps his clients find more than a home. He aims to find them true happiness. “I give them my full attention and focus on manifesting the perfect place for them to live,” says Kelly. As a real estate broker with Jameson Sotheby’s International Realty, Kelly, a graduate of the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign with 17 years of real estate experience, serves clients in and around Chicago, from Wrigley Field to Guaranteed Rate Field and from the lakefront to Western Ave.

A former financial advisor for a Wall Street investment banker with a degree in financial markets and real estate investing, Kelly has a competitive advantage over his peers. “After spending two years managing investments for people, I decided to merge my love of Chicago and developing relationships with others into a career in real estate,” he explains, adding that his understanding of mortgages, investing, market information and financial trends allows him to successfully negotiate on behalf of his clients.

With a 100% referral-based clientele, Kelly strives to create lasting bonds with his customers and prioritizes personal connection over business. “I am always accessible,” he says. “I want my clients to feel understood and supported and to be fully educated before they make a decision.”

To better serve his clients’ needs, Kelly works with a team of professionals who can provide different perspectives and show homes on short notice, allowing him to satisfy their demand for immediate answers.

This year, Kelly began working on his master’s degree and serves in his church community. He enjoys playing baseball, golfing and bike riding.
