Jenny Wright was super easy going and extremely helpful in my search for a new home as I moved from FL to Chicago. I originally submitted a request a showing for a property for rent which is how we met and she ended up helping me in my search. After looking at multiple rental properties I decided to switch things up on Jenny and decided to purchase a property. She was not only super knowledgeable and honest she happened to be a great negotiator with the purchase of my home.

Jennifer Ames enabled us to buy a condo and sell our home within a very tight time frame. She was involved in every aspect of the process, with beautiful photographs, compelling descriptions of both properties and researching further the most recent developments of the areas. The professionally drawn floor plans further added to the salability of both properties. Besides introducing us to a great real estate lawyer and his assistant, she was always available to answer questions and guide us no matter what time of the day. She reviewed all the documents meticulously and managed the complexities of both transactions. She continues to offer us support as we settle into our new home.

As a commercial real estate broker with 30 years of global experience, I’ve worked with many brokers —and I know what makes a great one. This is a tough market, which is why I chose Jenny and her team to sell the condo I had owned for 28 years. I selected her based on her outstanding qualifications, deep market knowledge, strong relationships, impeccable references, and her commitment to getting every detail right—and she delivered flawlessly. From the moment Jenny began showing my condo, I had complete confidence that the property’s unique features would be thoughtfully presented and that prospective buyers would respond to her easy manner, professionalism, and honest communication. The transaction was complex, but thanks to Jenny’s experience managing every aspect —from attorneys and lenders to inspectors and more—we achieved a successful closing. Working with top-tier professionals like Jenny is not only rewarding, it also produces the best outcomes and lasting relationships. She’ll be my first call for any future purchase or sale.

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!

Jenny and her team were super helpful from start to finish. Jenny quickly determines what needs to be done to a property and then helps you make it happen with great vendor contacts. Jenny also always provides her point of view with relevant data to back it up. Very direct, smart and great partner to work with. We would highly recommend her and her team when selling a property.

When it comes to realtors, Jennifer Ames is the total package and even more. During what could have been a stressful time, Jenny and her team (a shout out to Phil and Molly as well) managed every turn of the process and went well beyond the tasked assignment of selling my home. Jenny was there to lend a helping hand even if it meant, for example, hauling tons of potting soil to the fourth-floor deck to give life to new plants. Jenny is an exemplary professional and a delight to be with and I couldn’t have been happier that I trusted the sale of my townhome, in a very challenging market, to her.

Jenny & her team were amazing partners to us as we sold our family home in East Lincoln Park (during Covid) - which was a tough ask - but they did it seamlessly and helped us prep the house, did a wonderful 'sales' book and got us excellent offers.' The team at Ames Group is the best!

Jennifer Ames is world-class good at what she does. We are very happy that we chose her to list our home.

Jenny's extensive knowledge of the Chicago real estate market is invaluable. I have worked with Jenny to sell and purchase properties since 2011, with the most recent sale completed in April 2020. From the pre-listing guidance, pricing strategy, photography, and offer navigation, the process was executed flawlessly. There is no substitute for working with a true professional that can provide sound advice on navigating a complicated real estate market. I highly recommend Jenny and look forward to working with her and her team again in the future.

Recently, I had the pleasure of working with Phil, at the Ames Group Chicago, as the buyer of a condo in the Gold Coast area. I found Phil to be very knowledgeable, understanding, trustworthy, and patient throughout the entire process. Being an out-of-town purchaser, he went above and beyond, and volunteered to help me complete some of the local purchasing steps on his own time. If you are looking for a real estate pro to assist or represent you, my recommendation is to call and ask for Phil!

Jenny Ames was incredibly efficient and knowledgeable. She understood the market for a "unicorn" property, and sold it quickly. The process of selling my mother's apartment--while I was out of state--could not have been made easier.

Jennifer Ames went above and beyond just being my real estate agent. Just as we began our relationship I broke my leg and Jennifer did all of the work and more to ready the apartment itself for sale including placing furniture left behind after furnishing my 1 bedroom apartment in the assisted living apt I moved into. Moving from my combined 3 bedroom apartment she and her team did all of the work necessary to sell the apt which went very quickly to the accepted sale price. I trusted Jennifer with an apt I never got back to including everything that my architect together with Jennifer successfully emptied and sold the apt without my ever getting back. I cannot speak highly enough to her work ethic to her willinglyness to do much work above and beyond her job just to help a difficult situation and carry through to a successful fruition. This is a long story to recommend Jennifer and her team to sell your space. You will not be sorry.

As a first time home buyer, I didn't know where to start. Molly guided me through the entire process from start to finish. The result? I'm now living in my dream home! She has an incredible amount of resources that will help you through your process, too (even mortgage referrals!). You won't be disappointed working with Molly whether you're looking to buy, sell, or rent. A+!

Molly was great to work with! Very professional, responsive and knowledgeable. She streamlined our apartment search and took care of all the legwork with finding a new home and completing the deal.

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.
