With a degree in design, Shaina Ansari approaches every real estate transaction with professionalism, determination and an eye for detail. “All the variables of a home, from the architecture, layout and functionality to the textures and finishes, influence how a property makes a person feel,” she shares. “I help my clients find spaces that reflect their lifestyle and radiate comfort and safety.”
A broker associate with Jameson Sotheby’s International Realty, Ansari represents clients in the Gold Coast, Streeterville, Lincoln Park, Old Town, River North, West Loop, South Loop, Fulton Market, River West, West Town, Ukrainian Village and the surrounding suburbs — specifically, Chicago’s North Shore markets. After relocating to Chicago from Michigan more than a decade ago, she understands how overwhelming it can be to search for the ideal neighborhood.
Ansari notes that, depending on the location, many transactions are being processed before properties hit the market. “I make sure my buyers are pre-approved and first in line to see off-market listings,” she explains. “I also confirm that my sellers’ properties are pre-marketed without a detail being spared in preparation.”
Named among Chicago’s top 20 agents on social media by PropertySpark, Ansari believes that it is essential to utilize social media platforms to ensure widespread exposure. Recognized as an area specialist in Top Agent Magazine, she credits her nine years of success to her effective strategies, excellent communication skills and extensive market knowledge. “I believe that educating my clients is crucial for a successful transaction,” she says. “I am passionate about helping others, and I’m personally invested in my clients’ happiness.”
Ansari spends her free time participating in yoga sculpt classes and visiting Chicago’s newest restaurants. She also enjoys traveling and spending time with her husband, daughter and teacup Yorkie.
