Kim Ehler, Senior Real Estate Broker and founder of Kim Ehler Residential, makes real estate fun and effective. With nearly 25 years in client service roles and 15 years in the real estate industry, Kim is an expert at matching clients to their needs and wants and she knows the markets of Chicago and its suburbs inside and out, making her uniquely able to serve clients of all types, be they luxury, investor and first-time.
“The majority of my clients end up as friends, and they know they can count on me in the future,” she shares.
From start to finish, she and her team offer clients a streamlined process that maximizes satisfaction and minimizes stress. She’s been dubbed a “life broker” because she takes care of all her clients’ needs. She has an extensive network, ranging from contractors to dog walkers, housecleaners to doctors. Performance and planning go hand-in-hand for Ehler. She always has a strategy for each client to ensure success.
Using her friendly personality, industry connections, and strong organizational skills, Ehler cuts through any drama that could accompany a real estate transaction with openness and honesty. Those that work with Ehler appreciate those qualities and have referred her services to their friends and family members
Her goal is to make sure her clients love where they live but are also protected when it comes to their next move, and she’s never pushy when it comes to transactions. “I always say, ‘I am not going to tell you what to buy, but I am going to make sure you have no issues reselling,’” Ehler says.
Kim has been a consistent top producer since the beginning of her career starting with her Rookie of the Year award. She has been featured in several magazines as well as Who's Who in Chicago's Real Estate community.
Outside of real estate, her passions are her son Maxwell and their dogs Gus and Sydney. She likes trying new restaurants, anything that involves sunshine, long walks and enjoys spending time with friends. Fluffy dogs and the occasional Netflix binge also rank among Ehler’s favorite things.
