Through having worked in design, cosmetology and sales with high-end luxury brands such as Chanel and Tom Ford, Shaina Ansari possesses a passion for providing the ultimate level of customer experience. Four years ago, she took the skills she has garnered and applied them to a successful career in real estate.

As a broker associate for Jameson Sotheby’s International Realty, Ansari enjoys helping first-time buyers, sellers, investors and relocation clients. She has been in sales for 22 years, and her design background helped her acquire the marketing skills needed to succeed in any sales role. It wasn’t until Ansari had frustrating experiences of her own as a buyer and seller that she decided to rise to the occasion and try her hand at real estate. Since then, she has worked tirelessly to give clients the experience they deserve. “Buyers and sellers need a strong advocate and someone to be in their corner to properly advise them, making the process as smooth as possible while accomplishing their real estate goals,” she says.

Ansari’s ability to go above and beyond for her clients sets her apart from the competition. She does whatever it takes to get the job done, even if that means painting a client’s room or sewing damaged carpet when needed. Her proactive nature and dedication translate directly to her success in the market; in 2019, Property Spark recognized Ansari as one of its top 20 agents on social media. “I believe it’s important to constantly be a step ahead, making sure that my clients get the opportunity to be the first to see an off-market property, to always make sure to stay on top of what they are looking for and to execute on finding it,” she says.

Ansari got married in 2016 at the Langham Hotel in Chicago, and her first baby girl was due in June. She loves to attend CorePower Yoga and spend time with her 5-pound Yorkie named Zoey.
