To make the real estate process as seamless and stress-free as possible, Realtor Tiffany Matela relies on her in-depth knowledge and experience in Western Springs, LaGrange, the western suburbs and the city of Chicago to help clients make informed, thoughtful decisions. After experiencing several moves herself, the Western Springs resident says her professional guidance is enhanced by a personal perspective that helps her offer clarity and support when clients need it most.

Matela strives to be a calm and steady voice of reason, especially considering the buying or selling process can be fast-paced, emotional and packed with important choices that need to be made quickly and confidently. “I take pride in staying levelheaded, keeping my clients grounded and helping them navigate each step with confidence,” she shares.

2024 was the best year of Matela’s career in terms of professional success. She not only earned Coldwell Banker’s 2024 Pinnacle and President’s Circle awards, but also ranked in Mainstreet Realtors’ top 2% of agents. “For me, success is not just about closing a deal,” she says. “It’s about creating an experience that’s as smooth, comfortable and positive as possible. My clients know they can count on me to be in their corner.”

Matela explains that part of being in her clients’ corner means taking the time to listen. This helps her understand what matters most to clients and adapt her approach accordingly. “Whether someone needs a hands-on advocate at every step or prefers a more independent, flexible partnership, I’m there to support each client in a way that works for them,” she relates.

The mother of three is actively involved in the community through her sons’ sports and activities. She often volunteers at her sons’ schools as well as at events such as neighborhood festivals throughout the western suburbs.
