A global real estate advisor with Jameson Sotheby’s International Realty (JSIR), Kelsey Mayher is a trusted expert in Chicago’s real estate market. Specializing in new construction, luxury, relocation clients and first-time homebuyers, Mayher serves clients throughout Chicagoland, with a focus on downtown and along the Blue Line corridor. “As a client-based broker, I will align myself with my colleagues from other markets to best serve buyers and sellers wherever they may be located,” she says, adding that her extensive network of brokers allows her to execute off-market deals.

Working with clients from within her social and professional spheres, Mayher concentrates on facilitating seamless transactions. “I enjoy working with people I already know or people who know of me from another source, as it adds another layer of trust,” she says. “It creates an initial sense of comfort and allows me to really focus on their goals.”

Known for her attentiveness, Mayher is skilled at listening effectively to understand her clients’ goals and adapting her services to match their specific needs.

This year, during a pivotal time in her career, she became Ninja Certified, setting herself up for greater success in both her professional and personal life. “My business had been almost doubling for the last three years after I joined JSIR as an independent broker, but I realized I needed to find balance as work monopolized my day to day,” she says. “Attending Ninja transformed how I do my business and reinforced the importance of maintaining a positive mindset and practicing gratitude.”

Earning accolades since getting her start in the industry seven years ago, Mayher was named among Chicago Real Producers’ Top 500 in 2023. She previously had received the titles of Platinum Producer, Gold Producer and Bronze Producer from Jameson Sotheby’s and Top Producer from the Chicago Association of Realtors.

Outside of work, Mayher stays active and is an avid traveler, foodie and golfer.
