Outstanding experience — highly recommend Jenny and her team! Jenny and her team were incredible to work with. They helped me market and rent out my old home — a condo in the Wicker Park neighborhood — as an investment property. Their expertise and attention to detail helped me find responsible renters quickly, and even secure above-market rent. They also handled lease renewals seamlessly, keeping the process stress-free. Beyond that, Jenny helped my wife and I to find and purchase our first home in the suburbs. She guided us through every step, negotiated an excellent price, and made sure we closed within a tight timeframe. I’m truly grateful to Jenny and her team for going above and beyond for my family. Their professionalism, responsiveness, and local market knowledge set them apart. I would recommend them without hesitation to anyone buying, selling, or renting in the Chicago area. Thanks again, Jenny!

We recently met with several top agents to discuss selling our home, and Jenny immediately stood out for her professionalism, warmth, and genuine passion for helping clients. From our very first meeting, she came incredibly prepared — bringing thoughtful insights, a strong marketing strategy, and a deep understanding of the market. She was also incredibly responsive and proactive throughout the process, always quick to follow up and provide helpful guidance. Jenny took the time to get to know our home and treated it with the same care and enthusiasm as if it were her own. If you’re looking for an agent who is not only knowledgeable but also kind, attentive, and genuinely invested in her clients, Jenny is exceptional. We’d recommend her wholeheartedly.

Working with Jenny was such a pleasure. We have known Jenny for many years now and have worked with her before (which is why we did again!). She has an impeccable sense of style, amazing energy, and a fantastic sense for highlighting the best parts of a home. She is prompt and thorough and took care of so many little things that make a big difference when selling or buying a home. Highly recommend!

Jennifer Ames is the reason one should not overuse superlatives. Because superlatives should be saved for people and experiences that truly go above and beyond. And that was my experience with Jenny. Above and beyond, thoughtful, attentive, professional and just lovely to interact with, Jenny is the consummate professional who understands that she is dealing with people making significant life choices. I cannot recommend her more highly. Her depth of understanding of the Chicago real estate market is unparalleled.

When my husband and I were faced with having to stage and rent our condo in Chicago and then search for and buy a home in the suburbs with very specific requirements all within a few weeks, we knew that Jenny and her team would be the ones to trust. From Jenny’s advice during the initial consultation to guide us with our staging (we’re a young couple and had never staged nor bought a house together before), to the well-planned showings, and the quick turnaround in getting a lease sign with trusted tenants — the Ames group worked diligently, communicated well, and delivered well above our expectations. For the house that we bought, Jenny showed us a list of great homes within our budget in a single day keeping our tight schedule in mind. Her decades of experience really came to shine when she did the impossible to make sure our offer came out on top of 13 other offers (and we did not offer the most in sale price!) on a house that had 62 showings in 1 day. We love our home and plan to live here for a long time but would reach out to Jenny and her team in a heart beat if we ever needed her help looking for another.

Jenny and her team were amazing! From start to finish, they were by our side with guidance, resources, and realistic expectations. They made the process easy and clear and understood what was important to us. Having her whole team made us very confident. Highly recommend!

Cannot say enough great things about Molly and the whole Ames Team!! So incredibly knowledgeable, proactive, attentive, always-accessible, and such a positive presence through the entire home-buying process. We are SO happy with our new house and could not have done this without them!! Thanks, Ames Group, for helping us find our dream home!

Jennifer Ames went above and beyond any expectations of anyone we have ever worked with in the past. She was thoughtful and considerate and highly professional. I would never work with anyone else!

We used The Ames Group to purchase our condo and had a great experience! We were moving from out of state and they took care of everything, so what would have been a stressful experience, was so easy!

Jenny has been an amazing broker for us. It took months to find our home and she was with us every step of the way. Clear open communication throughout the entire process, very quick to respond to emails and texts, and always ready to jump at a potential home that just came on the market no matter the day or time. She has such an eye for what to look for when touring a space and what to ask the agents about, I felt very confident with her advice and assessments of homes we considered. If we ever decide to move again she will be our first call!

There are realtors, and then there is Jennifer (Jenny) Ames. When it comes to the commitment required to buying a home, there can always be emotions and second-guessing involved, as u wish to make the right decision at the right time. No matter what the question was, Jenny was there with the right answer, and never made you feel silly for asking it. There’s no time in this life for regrets, especially when you are buying a place to create beautiful memories. Thanks to Jennifer, one of life’s milestone decisions, was made with confidence and clarity. Deepest Gratitude.

Jenny is top notch, highly responsive, experienced, and organized. We purchased a tiny home and got the same 5-star treatment as someone purchasing a larger and pricier home. Thank you Jenny for your hard work and extreme patience!

Molly is incredible!! I have confidence that my roommate and I would still be looking for a place to live if Molly hadn't helped us. She is knowledgeable about available properties and puts what you're looking for into words. She was very flexible about times to meet up and look at properties and was quite responsive to messages and inquiries. She would point out small unique details throughout properties and measure furniture sizes to better visualize yourself living there. When Molly first took us to the apartment we are living in now, she measured out the size of our beds on the bedroom floors making an outline. This actually saved us a lot of trouble later on because it showed us how deceiving room sizes could be without furniture in them and ultimately made my roommate and I switch rooms. Now we both have rooms that fit our different size beds with ample floor space left over; it would have been a huge bummer to figure this out after moving all of our belongings in. I would recommend Molly to anyone!!

Phil has all the qualities that you want in an ideal realtor. Attentive, responsive resourceful, transparent and motivated, Phil made a long distance time and budget sensitive apartment purchase both possible... and a pleasure. No hustle, no hassle, just great service and terrific resources for every part of the process.

My experience with Phil as my broker was nothing short of exceptional. This was my first purchase, and Phil walked me through every step with the most knowledge and kindness you could ever ask for.

This was my first time buying a home. I went through 2 other real estate agents during this process. Phil was absolutely masterful. From the moment we were paired the experience has been nothing short of professional. He is extremely detailed, highly knowledgeable.
