A Chicago native, Jessica Anthony discovered her passion for real estate two decades ago while working as a paralegal. At just 21, she purchased her first home — and that life-changing experience sparked a career shift that would define her future. Since then, she has not only made a successful transition into real estate, but has also bought and sold multiple properties of her own.

Having lived in the northwestern suburbs for over 40 years, Anthony possesses an intimate understanding of the area — its neighborhoods, schools and hidden gems. Her roots and personal real estate experiences give her unique empathy for clients navigating the buying or selling process. Known for her attentive, communicative and patient nature, she’s frequently referred by past clients to their friends and family.

Anthony’s background in law has proved to be an asset. A decade as a paralegal sharpened her attention to detail and gave her a strong grasp of contracts, compliance and legal procedures. “That experience has helped me tremendously,” she says. “It allows me to confidently guide clients through contracts, meet critical deadlines and explain the legal aspects of transactions in a way that’s easy to understand.”

Now a top-producing solo agent, Anthony is licensed in both Illinois and Florida and specializes in relocations. She holds certifications as a Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist and a Seniors Real Estate Specialist. In 2024, she was recognized as the top agent in Jameson Sotheby’s Barrington office and ranked among the top 5% of agents by the North Shore Barrington Association of Realtors.

Outside of work, Anthony is dedicated to giving back. She volunteers with organizations like Habitat for Humanity and Feed My Starving Children. When not helping clients or supporting her community, she enjoys hiking, working out, kayaking and spending quality time with family.
