Alex Haralambakis, Managing Partner & Residential and Luxury Sales Expert

Maddie Schramm, Senior Partner & Residential and Luxury Sales Expert

Sometimes in a successful real estate partnership, that je ne sais quoi that makes for an incredible team actually runs in their blood. For Alex Haralambakis, managing partner and residential and luxury sales expert, and her colleague, Maddie Schramm, senior partner and residential and luxury sales expert, “devotion is our distinction.” Both with Jameson Sotheby’s International Realty, their generational backgrounds in real estate have helped build them into storied successes.

Haralambakis is a third-generation real estate agent whose grandmother ran a successful firm in suburban Hinsdale, while Schramm is a second-generation real estate agent, learning from her father who had a thriving four-decade career in commercial and residential real estate. Having grown up in the Chicagoland area and now pursuing their dreams in their beloved hometown, these powerful women in real estate utilize their strong networking and social media skills to establish their dominating presence in the market. “We are very attuned to how clients buy and sell homes today,” the duo adds, “and the insights and metrics of technology provided by Jameson Sotheby’s enhance our overall approach.”

“Two is always better than one,” they say. “Our tandem client- and results-focused approach make this partnership flourish.” Partnering with Jameson Sotheby’s has allowed them to utilize a data-driven approach that maximizes the largest international network in real estate — allowing them to assist clients far and wide.

“It’s important we set realistic expectations and have open, honest conversations with our clients,” say these multiple-award winners, including of the Sotheby’s Platinum Sales Producer Award in 2020. “The trust we build with our clients from day one has left us with a business that is 100% referral-based.” And they’re in it for the long haul with clients.

“Our motto is ‘Beyond The Sale,’” they share, “so building and maintaining relationships past the transaction stage is where we rise above the rest.”
