Chicago, IL, 60618
I view my work as a way to build stronger communities by helping clients bring into focus and achieve their real estate goals.
 
I’m not here merely to do “deals.” Rather, my job is to take what can be a complex and challenging process and make it as simple, understandable and economical for my clients as it possibly can be. I’ve been working with buyers and sellers on the North and Northwest sides of Chicago and in adjacent suburbs since 2000, dealing with the full range of residential properties, from luxury homes to studio condos, and I’ve also had experience doing tenant and landlord representation.
 
My first goal is to build a strong working relationship with the folks I represent, whether they are buying or selling a home, dealing with investment property or finding a new business location. Whatever the situation, I pride myself on offering outstanding service and clear-eyed advice. In addition to two decades of real estate experience, I hold a marketing degree from Indiana University’s Kelley School of Business and have an extensive background in retail merchandising and store management with Marshall Field’s, which comes in especially handy helping sellers stage their properties for maximum market appeal. As a 35-year resident of Chicago’s North Side, the last 20 in the St. Ben’s area, I know and love this community and keep working to make it even better. I’m a former board member of the Common Pantry and a current member and former chair of the North Center Neighbors Association Zoning Committee. Please reach out to me if I can be of service.

Testimonials

Louise Durfee

Mary Jo is an outstanding professional in her field. She knows the market better than anyone. Her guidance assured me my daughter was in good hands. She worked tirelessly and found the perfect condo in record time and closed just as efficiently. Mary Jo has integrity, tenacity, a great work ethic, is a great negotiator and a pleasure to work with. Can't wait to work with her to buy anoth...

Tim and Ellen C.

We had a great experience listing our home with Mary Jo Nathan. We lived in our Portage Park bungalow for 24 years and had never really gone through the process of selling a home after such a long residence. Mary Jo thoroughly explained what we needed to do at every step. That was especially helpful while explaining the contract and the changing laws about realtor compensation. She shar...

Mark Ambrose

Mary Jo did an excellent job of responding to our needs and anticipating any potential concerns. She smoothed out every issue that arose. We are appreciative for her work and wouldn't hesitate to use her again.

Michele

Mary Jo has the professionalism. market knowledge and intuition that count when one is trying to navigate Chicago real estate. Home buying, even as exciting as it can be, is still fraught with potential problems and setbacks and Mary Jo can share the excitement of the "hunt" while also providing the often much-needed "reality check" on one's dreams and visions. In o...

Jim H.

Mary Jo was a consummate professional who was not only knowledgable about Chicago real estate, but also how to pace her communications with me without losing site of the bigger picture. Her processes were sound and she availed herself to me upon request. Most importantly, she guided me with wisdom and acumen, steering me away from a property that was not meant for me despite my inability...

Carol F.

It has been a pleasure to work Mary Jo. She is the broker handling my rentals. As a landlord I really appreciate Mary Jo's energy and insight that has ended in leases for great tenants. She is available to schedule multiple showings and worked well with current tenants. She was attentive to detail in vetting prospective tenants and giving them all the information about the rentals. The p...

Mike D.

Mary Jo is an absolute pleasure to work with. As a result of being a long time Chicago resident she clearly understands the intricacies of individual neighborhoods throughout the city and how to navigate the advantages/challenges of each. Mary Jo is knowledgeable, professional, and accessible. All important qualities when choosing a realtor. Highly recommend her to anyone in the market t...

Pamm A.

Mary Jo and I have known each other for a long time, but this was the first time we had interacted professionally. We felt so fortunate to be able to work with someone who was honest, had integrity, and listened to what we really were looking for. Her knowledge and expertise are exceptional. She knew the neighborhoods, the costs, and the amenities. We don't plan on moving again, but if w...

Sam R.

My husband and I loved working with Mary Jo throughout our home buying process. As first time buyers, we had a million questions and Mary Jo answered every single one of them, and had our back and vigorously protected our interests while dealing with a less than ideal opposing side. We love our forever home, we love Mary Jo, and would absolutely work with her again.

Debbie H.

As a first time homebuyer, I couldn't have asked for a more knowledgeable and smart realtor. Mary Jo actually LISTENED to me and used her extensive understanding of the process to my advantage ($$$). She is so easy to work with and has an expert - almost encyclopedic - knowledge of Chicago neighborhoods. She's the best!

Catherine J.

Mary Jo Nathan is simply the best of the best. We have used her 3 times to help buy and sell our own and our family members properties. Each time she took the extra mile to understand our individual needs. In short, she listens. I can't imagine using another realtor. We have lived in our home 22 years and couldn't be happier.

Eileen C.

Mary Jo Nathan is an outstanding realtor. When we were searching she focused our needs and lined up several homes in our price range to view. Then we discussed pros and cons, re-evaluating and clarifying our best choice. She's a great source of information and works hard for every client. I still call her for advice! I recommend her to all my family and friends. 5 stars!

Jay and Sandra Z.

Mary Jo Nathan was amazing. She is so honest and down to earth that she wouldn't want us to gush; but we must. We were first-time home buyers who had a specific budget and a particular area where we wanted to buy. Mary Jo was a safe pair of hands for us on so many levels. She jumped on a private listing and got us in to see it right away. She does not sugarcoat things, which made us feel...

Nicholas M.

Mary Jo Nathan sold our home and I couldn't be happier with the job she did. She's incredibly insightful about prepping your home for sale and always there to give her input. Our home sold almost immediately and for over asking and that was entirely because of Mary Jo. She knew what the market was looking for and how to get our home there. I can't speak highly enough about her. She's an ...

Katie K.

We had the pleasure of working with Mary Jo Nathan for the sale of our home and the purchase of our new one. I could not recommend her more. I'm not embarrassed to say that we were really challenging clients - we didn't know if we wanted a single family, a two-flat, or a condo. We were open to all parts of the northside. And we couldn't make decisions to save our lives. We made an offer ...
