The No. 1 agent in Illinois, Jennifer Ames (fifth from left) brings the real estate experience to new heights as president of Jennifer Ames Chicago. Ranked No. 8 in 2012 within Coldwell Banker nationally, Ames and her team sold more than $110 million in the first six months of 2013. Her astounding success is built upon her trademark attention to detail, encyclopedic knowledge of the Chicago market and her accomplished team of real estate professionals, including (from left to right) Julie Busby, Barb Steinhauser, Kai Schirmacher, Sarah Brinkmann, Mark Markarian, Christine Lutz and Gordon Munden.

Behind the scenes, Ames has built a superior Client Care Team to manage every detail along the way.

“One of the things that sets us apart is that we operate as a luxury boutique, offering highly personalized, client-centric service coupled with the benefits of Coldwell Banker, the world’s leading real
estate company,” Ames says.

From first-time homebuyers, to CEOs, to some of the city’s finest homebuilders, her team represents a diverse clientele in affluent neighborhoods throughout Chicago. Ames offers a customized, results-oriented marketing plan that starts with a comprehensive evaluation of the home’s presentation. Her entourage of stagers, painters and other tradespeople ensure that each home they sell looks its best. This often results in multiple offers and over full-price sales.

Ames’s success is driven by her desire to “raise the bar.” Starting in 1994, when she joined a multi-generation family tradition and got into residential real estate, Ames has consistently aspired to elevate the status of the real estate field through her professionalism, ethics, willingness to embrace new technology and deep commitment to do what is best for her clients.
