Mara joined @properties in January 2007 with enthusiasm and excitement to be a part of our elite team of agents. Mara understands that it takes more than just the support of a top notch firm to be her best. Absolute dedication to client’s hopes and needs are essential to being the best in her field; Mara has perfected this skill and made an art of it. Her personal dedication, vast knowledge of the market, and love of helping and supporting others demonstrate that Mara is both a professional and asset to the industry.

It is not surprising that Mara joined our team of highly devoted sales consultants without missing a beat. Her real estate career began nearly four years ago and during that time, earned recognition as top leasing agent at her previous company. Mara has also lived in the city of Chicago for nearly twelve years and is familiar with almost every “up and coming” neighborhood in the city. Her drive to help individuals find the perfect place to live, coupled with her dedication and knowledge of the Chicago real estate market, shines through each transaction she performs and has brought her the success she enjoys today.

Mara’s natural ability for building strong personal relationships through honest and open communication is the backbone for her continued success. Mara also understands the importance of high standards of customer service through working for many years in the restaurant business; Mara owned and operated a vegetarian coffee lounge in Lincoln Park with a member of her family. This experience also enabled Mara to understand the true meaning and pride that goes along with ownership and thus, she approaches every deal with a personal stake, as if it were her own. Solid work ethic, complete and thorough follow-through, attention to detail, superior communication skills, and resilient determination are just a few of the qualities and skills that Mara has mastered to solidify the best deal for her clients.

Mara grew up in Wilmette, IL where she graduated from New Trier High School in Winnetka. She attended the University of Illinois at Champaign for two years and then returned to her beloved Chicago to finish her studies at Columbia. Today, Mara lives in Bucktown with her husband and dog, Eli. When not following up on current market trends, Mara can be found at the gym, checking out live music, or at the dog park. Other hobbies also include wine tasting, cooking, eating out, shopping, and traveling.
