Edward Jelinek

Ed Jelinek has been consistently a top-producing agent in the Chicago real estate market for numerous years. He specializes in working in the sale of homes in the luxury real estate market, new developments, relocation clients, and with first-time buyers and sellers. Starting in 1998 with another firm, Ed rose quickly in the ranks to one of the top producers with that company, including being named the #1 City Agent for Closed sales in 2005 and being a member of their elite President's Club every year recognizing sales from 2002 through 2014. Early in 2015, Ed joined @properties to be a part of a dynamic, energetic, and leading company with stellar marketing and the #1 market share in the city.

Unwavering success despite turbulent real estate markets takes much more than just being in the right place at the right time.

It's a rare and unmistakable quality that manifests itself in his tireless effort, honesty, responsiveness, and solid guidance.

He also has knowledge & perspective of the public schools, having two children in the Blaine School in the Lakeview neighborhood.

Ed knows the history and current status of the neighborhoods and niche markets throughout the city. His unique grasp of the bigger picture will give you one more layer of confidence that your property investment decisions are the right ones, while his discretion will assure your privacy will be respected. He understands your level of success and delivers service of the highest caliber, always respecting your time and adopting a concierge approach to his services to assist you in any manner required.

Ed's highest honor is the trust of his clients, the referrals they send him, and the way he's been invited into their social circles once they've worked with him. The wedding invitations and birth announcements he has received are more precious to him than all his professional titles and awards.
