Throughout her six years in real estate, Chelsea Gideon has helped clients buy, sell, invest in and lease properties across Chicago and the North Shore.
In 2025, Gideon, a real estate broker with @properties Christie’s International Real Estate, started a team to provide an even higher level of service and support to clients. Fun fact: Both of her teammates were once clients. “It’s incredibly rewarding to have helped them and their families find homes in communities they love, and even more meaningful that they later chose to join my team,” she says. “To me, repeat clients, referrals and relationships that come full circle are the greatest compliments.”
A member of the Top Agent Network, Gideon is ranked among the top 10% of agents in Chicagoland and recently earned the @properties Timeless award for surpassing $10 million in annual closed sales. Her path to real estate wasn’t traditional, but looking back, the North Shore resident says it makes sense.
After earning a master’s degree from the University of Chicago, she spent several years as a licensed social worker, helping individuals and families navigate some of life’s most challenging situations. She later joined her family’s century-old manufacturing business, where she discovered a talent and passion for sales, business development and building lasting client relationships.
“As much as I enjoyed both careers, I wanted to combine my passion for helping clients with the fast-paced, entrepreneurial side of business,” she explains. “Real estate offers exactly that.”
Gideon’s business is built on long-term relationships rather than one-time transactions. Her clients often return for multiple purchases and sales over the years, from first homes to investment properties, while referring friends and family along the way. She works with everyone from first-time buyers to seasoned investors, prioritizing responsiveness, education, transparency and honest advice throughout the process.
