Maggie Yandel creates a high-touch, relationship-driven experience for clients while strategically positioning deals in Chicago and the Southwest suburbs.
This lifestyle-focused approach helped Yandel, a realtor with Compass, Busby Group, reach a career high in closed sales volume last year.
A strong social media presence has also fueled Yandel’s business, with many clients first connecting with her through Instagram, where she shares an authentic look at both the exciting and challenging sides of real estate.
She understands the emotional and strategic sides of real estate and easily guides clients through complex situations by communicating clearly and anticipating challenges before they become problems. Yandel has built a strong network of industry professionals and gained extensive experience managing a variety of transactions, allowing her to move through all types of markets with ease.
Yandel assists all types of clients, but she especially enjoys working with first-time buyers, upsizing growing families and downsizing homeowners who are simultaneously buying and selling homes.
A fondness for architecture and homes drew Yandel to real estate. Upon graduating from college, she started her career at a small brokerage in the southwest suburbs and quickly realized how much she loved the industry. Eventually she expanded into the larger, fast-paced city market.
A combination of effective communication, responsiveness and attention to detail has helped her build lasting relationships with clients and generate repeat and referral business. “I’m known for being funny, approachable and blunt in the best way,” she says. “Clients know that I’ll always give them straightforward advice while still keeping the experience lighthearted and comfortable.”
On top of achieving her personal best sales volume, she recently became engaged and participated in the Polar Plunge benefiting Special Olympics Illinois.
