Bio
Jennifer Zalewa
Kat Barry is a true professional who knows her business. My experience with Kat began 2 years ago when I was looking for a new home. Kat was truly my advocate through the entire process, and I felt secure knowing that I had her on my side. She not only helped me to find and get the home I really wanted, but her negotiating skills are incredible! The price was very right, the closing date was exactly what I needed (even when the sellers were looking to push it out a few more weeks), but she also got me a homeowners insurance policy included - which has really proven to be helpful. Throughout the entire process, Kat was always available and ready to advocate for me. Service like that doesn't come around very often.

Kat bends over backwards to make your renting or buying experience a breeze. I've never worked with a realtor who actually listens to my needs and then meets and exceeds my expectations. I don't understand how she does it, but I'm really glad she does. She won't rest until you're happy and in the place of your dreams. Thank you for everything, Kat.

Oct 2013 - Jul 2018
Helping people buy and sell properties throughout the city of Chicago with a focus on Bucktown, Wicker Park,Humboldt Park, Logan Square and Avondale neighborhoods. I have over ten years experience selling real estate in three states. In every market, I have hit the ground running, quickly making an impact in the market place and finding a niche in up and coming artsy neighborhoods and the builders and developers working to improve those areas as well as single home and condo buyers who already appreciate these areas for what they are. I've worked with real estate investors throughout my career and have an excellent grasp on investment property ROI.I've been passionate about the neighborhoods following Milwaukee Ave and the Blue line northwest from downtown since I was a teenager. My oldest brother took me to Urbis Orbis coffee shop in Wicker Park in the early 1990s and I was hooked. Over the next decade or so I watched Wicker Park, Humboldt Park, and Logan Square change dramatically while living, shopping, drinking, and eating in these dynamic areas. In my opinion, they offer some of the most creative consumer options in the country.While I haven't always lived here, growing up on the other side of Lake Michigan, Chicago has always been my home. In the years following college I was back and forth living here and touching down here as my hub. I was thrilled to move back full time in 2012 and continue my track record of working hard to help people achieve home ownership, build wealth, and make the American Dream a reality. All while improving my beloved, eclectic neighborhoods. I love this job and I love being a part of the team my friend Scott Newman has built. I'm proud of him and to be a part of the future of Chicago real estate.
