For Heather Seidelman, real estate is all about relationships. “Maintaining relationships and being a trusted resource for my clients and friends is the most rewarding part of the work I do,” Seidelman says. “Being there five, seven, ten years later and helping past clients as they enter new phases of life has been really fun,” she adds.

A full-service residential Realtor for 16 years, Seidelman’s business is made up solely of referrals. Clients seek her out again and again for condos, single-family homes, luxury properties and investment properties all over Chicago. With a special focus on Logan Square, Bucktown and Wicker Park, she covers the northern suburbs and North Side neighborhoods as well, as the needs of her clients continue to expand.

Seidelman’s pragmatic approach to negotiations, along with her troubleshooting skills and ability to form strong relationships with other agents, sets her apart. Since 2013, the Chicago Association of Realtors has consistently recognized her as a top producer. She credits her success to her ability to adapt to changing markets and continuously build relationships in the Chicago real estate community.

Her solid real estate team helps her maintain a healthy work–life balance. Seidelman lives in Logan Square with her husband, a real estate attorney, and two daughters. She is actively involved in her children’s elementary school community and focuses on living a healthy lifestyle through exercise and spending time with people she loves.
