Approaching real estate as both a business and a service, Ana Novakovic built a successful career largely through referrals and repeat clients, a reflection of the trust and relationships she has established over the years. “My goal is to always provide exceptional guidance, create opportunities and help clients make confident decisions,” she says. “I take the time to understand each client’s goals, priorities and concerns so I can create a strategy that truly fits their unique situation.”
Realtor and team leader at HomeSmart Connect Real Estate, Novakovic, along with her team, primarily serves the western and northern suburbs, though more recently they’ve expanded further into the city as the team has grown. One of the biggest advantages for clients to work with a team is having access to professionals with different strengths and areas of expertise. “By working collaboratively, we provide well-rounded guidance tailored to each client’s needs,” Novakovic explains. “As the team has grown, we’ve been able to expand our reach and better serve clients across more communities, while I remain personally involved in overseeing each transaction and providing strategic guidance throughout the process.”
Recognized as a member of the HomeSmart Connect President’s Club for two consecutive years, Novakovic ranks among the top-producing agents within the brokerage. She recently represented the sale of a luxury property valued at over $3 million. After relocating to the United States over a decade ago, she became interested in real estate as a way to build long-term wealth and create opportunities. “What started as an interest in investing gradually evolved into a career focused on helping others achieve their real estate goals,” she shares. “I still bring an investor’s mindset to every transaction, but helping clients navigate important financial and personal decisions is what truly drives me.”
Beyond real estate, Novakovic is pursuing a new entrepreneurial venture with a floral, gift and coffee boutique in La Grange created around the idea that life’s meaningful moments deserve thoughtful touches. Inspired by her love of thoughtful details and creating memorable experiences, the business reflects the same personalized approach she brings to her clients. In her free time, Novakovic enjoys spending time with family and friends, interior design, entrepreneurship, traveling and fitness.
