2026 Who's Who in Chicagoland Real Estate

Gia Devenyi, Global Real Estate Advisor

Jameson Sotheby’s International Realty

 

A top producer since 2014, Gia Devenyi built a successful real estate career from the ground up.

After founding the Gia Chicago Team and mentoring agents for the past seven years, Devenyi now serves clients as an individual agent. She proudly continues the Gia Chicago brand, supported by a best-in-class, behind-the-scenes operations team, ensuring a seamless, white-glove experience from start to finish.

Devenyi was first introduced to real estate by her father, who owned several investment properties and encouraged her to earn her license so she could handle transactions. At one point, she juggled three roles — coaching tennis, processing loans and working in real estate whenever she could. “I had both jobs to pay the bills while holding my real estate license,” she recounts. “I was doing the best I could.” That mix of hustle and resilience wasn’t glamorous, but it laid the groundwork for everything she’s built since.

Before fully transitioning to real estate in 2015, Devenyi spent six years in lending, working as a loan processor, a conditions specialist and a junior underwriter at GMAC. That foundation now enables her to guide clients through complicated loan situations in a way that puts them at ease.

Today, Devenyi is building a reputation as one of Chicago’s rising luxury real estate advisors while continuing to serve buyers, sellers and investors across the city.

Devenyi believes that authenticity is critical to building a successful business and lasting relationships. “Being honest, relatable and staying true to who I am has been one of the biggest reasons for my growth,” she explains.

In her free time, Devenyi is growing her own investment portfolio. She currently owns properties in Avondale, where she’s lived for the last seven years with her husband and two dogs, Mila and Milo.
