About Jena
Looking back on her interests and skillsets, real estate seems like a natural profession for Jena Radnay, but it wasn't always so obvious. Originally from Hinsdale, Radnay received a degree in nursing from Georgetown University, then moved back to Chicago. She never worked as a nurse for even a day, instead interviewing at DDB Worldwide Chicago, one of the country's top advertising agencies. After eight rounds of interviews, she landed the job she wanted the most. Here, exposed to high-level clients, she honed the skills that today help her thrive in the real estate market.
This is important to Jena, who credits her love of marketing for much of her success. She says many people feel forced into real estate as a career when something else doesn't work out, but that wasn't the case for her. Jena quit advertising and closed her first million-dollar deal just two weeks later, confirming to herself that she truly had the right skill set for the job. From there, she worked in Chicago for a few years, then moved to the North Shore, where she had to work hard to get to know the area and make connection. This savvy outlook, extensive experience, and personal relationships have helped Jena become a leader in her field. Today, her business primarily comes from referrals, and whether representing a buyer or a seller she is known as an expert.
