About Nancy
Broker Associate
A Career Built on a 360-Degree View of Real Estate
For Nancy Claussen, real estate isn't just a sale; it's a craft she has honed from the ground up for over four decades. Her journey began in 1979, not in sales, but in the foundational roles that truly shape the industry. Starting as a secretary, she quickly mastered the mechanics of the business before moving into the critical fields of property appraisal and management. This background gave her a rare, holistic understanding of property value, operational challenges, and the contractual details that underpin every deal—perspectives many agents never see.
In 1998, Nancy leveraged this powerful combination of skills and transitioned into real estate sales, allowing her to serve clients with a uniquely comprehensive viewpoint. Her experience in appraisal provides an expert eye for valuation, while her background in property management offers deep insight into a home's long-term potential. She understands real estate not just as a transaction, but as a tangible and significant asset.
Complementing this technical expertise is a deep understanding of the human side of buying and selling a home. Nancy holds a Bachelor of Arts in Children, Family, and Community Services, and her training in counseling is invaluable for guiding clients through what is often a complex and emotional life decision.
When you work with Nancy, you partner with a professional whose entire career has been dedicated to mastering every angle of the real estate business. Her unwavering integrity and unmatched background ensure you have a true expert dedicated to achieving your goals.

Nancy Claussen is one of the greatest agents I have had the pleasure of working with on numerous occasions. She is deeply knowledgeable of the markets of Chicago and real estate law and ethics. She is also polite, fair, excellent at communication and always goes above and beyond for her clients. Any time I work with Nancy, it's a smooth and pleasant experience .
