Emily Ackerman

Emily strives to create a positive and engaging experience for her clients, all while bringing a refreshingly candid, yet persistent attitude to the transaction. An expert on many of Chicago’s most popular neighborhoods, Emily leverages her network and resources to accomplish her clients’ goals, and is described by them as savvy, tenacious, and always taking an educational approach. Serving first-time homebuyers, investors and developers throughout the city, Emily is committed to her process and helping her clients through each stage of their transaction. She genuinely cares about the people she works with and thinks buying or selling your first home doesn’t have to be a stressful or rigid experience, but fun, collaborative, and memorable. Emily recognizes that the market is ever-changing, and with that, the needs of her clients. She prides herself on being easily accessible, alert, and responsive when addressing her clients’ needs at all times. Emily has consistently proved herself as an accountable and trusted advisor, and in 2020 was selected by REALTOR Magazine and the National Association of Realtors organization as one of their “30 Under 30” honorees from young professionals across the country. Emily is a member of Chicago Home Collective (CHC), a boutique team that’s ranked by the Chicago Association of REALTORS® as a top producing team with more than $160 million in transactions. When Emily is not taking tours of buildings or finding her clients their perfect space, she is out exploring the city with friends and exercising her palate at local eateries. She received her Bachelor’s degree in Telecommunications: Industry and Management accompanied with a business minor from Kelley School of Business from Indiana University and continues to stay active within the alumni community. Originally a transplant from Kansas City, Emily sticks to her native roots and rarely passes up an opportunity to travel to a new city. In her free time, you can catch Emily running along the lake, at local farmers markets, practicing yoga or grooving to live music.
