Ames Group Chicago At Engel & Völkers Chicago
Licensed Partner & Private Office Advisor
Jennifer Ames
An industry veteran with 30 years of experience and $2.25+ billion in career sales, I can confidently and effectively manage any situation. With a deep knowledge of Chicago, keen attention to detail, and impeccable integrity, I have earned many of the industry’s highest awards as well as Engel & Völkers exclusive Private Office designation.
I enjoy working with both buyers and sellers. My clients describe me as a direct, solution-oriented professional who respects their time and prioritizes their needs. While I don’t specialize in a particular niche, I have had significant success selling architecturally important property, vintage condos and coops, new construction, and high-end single-family homes. Likewise, I work with clients who are at all stages of life, from first-time home buyers to estate sales.
My marketing savvy is a core strength. As a skilled writer, architectural photographer, and former film producer, I craft compelling messages and connect with target audiences through elegant content. I excel in rebranding and positioning homes that have previously been on the market.
As a Licensed Partner (owner) of Engel & Völkers Chicago, I enjoy coaching high-potential advisors and teams who are eager to take their businesses to the next level and networking with our colleagues around the world. I served on boards at The Art Institute of Chicago and the Lincoln Park Zoo, and now support organizations that aid underserved youth, immigrants, and the LGBTQ+ community.

I've had a lifelong passion for residential real estate. As a child, I eagerly joined my mother on open house tours, always curious to discover what made each home unique. After a four-year career in finance, I realized that my extroverted personality was better suited for a people-centric profession focused on assisting others.
I'm proud to be a part of the award-winning Ames Group Chicago team at Engel & Völkers Chicago. Working with a diverse range of clients, from first-time buyers to empty nesters, is incredibly rewarding. I'm dedicated to helping buyers navigate today's competitive market, and my optimistic outlook, along with my deep understanding of each property, enables sellers to achieve the best prices and terms.
I'm integrally connected to Chicago, having grown up in Hinsdale and later living in various city neighborhoods, including Streeterville, the Gold Coast, and Lincoln Park. My personal experience living in the city enables me to introduce our clients to nuances that are not obvious to newcomers.
In my life, one word resonates: Blessed! I cherish my wonderful family, friends, clients, mentors, and husband, who are my endless sources of inspiration and support. When I'm not working, my husband and I spend time with our extended families, explore new places, engage in volunteer work, and enjoy the delightful company of our spirited little shih tzu

From a young age, my father introduced me to the world of real estate. Growing up in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, our family owned a portfolio of properties in the Franklin Park area, but now, I am honored to call Chicago home. Attracted by its rich cultural scene, diverse neighborhoods, and world-class dining and entertainment, I moved here to experience lake life in the city, explore the beautiful parks, and marvel at the stunning architecture. Chicago's strong sense of community and excellent public transportation contribute to a high quality of life, making it a welcoming environment for all generations.
One thing I am deeply passionate about is creating safe and relaxing spaces for my clients. Beyond helping them find their next home, I assist in curating spaces that perfectly align with their lifestyles. My dedication to helping others and bringing joy to their lives has always been a driving force in my endeavors.
