Nancy Ackerman, broker at Jameson Sotheby’s International Realty, has over 30 years of real estate experience. After a successful 25-year career at KPMG LLP where she provided real estate tax advisory services to global clients in New York and Chicago, she turned her focus to real estate sales, where she brings unique talents to the process of buying and selling properties. “It’s the perfect merging of my devotion to helping clients meet their financial goals while realizing their lifestyle dreams,” she says. 

In the past year, Ackerman had strong sales in a challenging market and made a lasting impression on the seller of a $2.4 million Lincoln Park listing. After conducting a thorough market analysis, making recommendations for key updates, and assisting with the renovation, Ackerman was able to help her client increase the value of her home. “Within the first week of being on the market, my client obtained a far better offer than she ever anticipated, and the house closed quickly without any delays,” she says. 

Ackerman places the utmost value on exceptional client service. Known for her patience and empathy, she treats every transaction as though it were her own. “Buying and selling a home can be a very stressful process. I strive to be the trusted adviser my clients can depend on every step of the way,” she says. Ackerman works with all types of clients, including luxury buyers, first-time homebuyers, sellers, landlords and investors.

Having spent 10 years living in the West Loop and now a resident of Lincoln Park, Ackerman moves with the pulse of the Chicago community in her work and home life. In her free time, she enjoys watching her son compete in tennis and loves playing golf and paddle tennis. Ackerman is a member of the Chicago Association of Realtors and the National Association of Realtors and a committee member with International Women Associates and the Professional Women’s Club of Chicago.
