My husband and I used to Jeanne to buy our home initially in 2018. She also assisted us with the design and overall execution of a gut renovation. She did an amazing job with all aspects of the purchase and renovation. Unfortunately due to a job transfer, we had to sell and we again chose Jeanne to handle the sale of our home. She did a great job marketing and representing the home with multiple open houses and got the job done! We are so grateful. Thank you, Jeanne!! - Barry & Julio

Jeanne is awesome!! She is a realtor, home renovator, interior designer and manager of all things big and small; just what you need when looking for a new home. As newcomers to Chicago, Jeanne helped us find a home that could accommodate an elderly parent. She was extremely helpful and often interacted with the builder on our behalf. Jeanne even met with a stairlift vendor to ensure it could be successfully installed before finalizing the purchase. After the closing, Jeanne seamlessly transitioned roles and became our interior designer and provided us with detailed floor plans showing furniture options and placement. Jeanne's expertise in home design and interior decorating helped us furnish our new home with just the right furniture, window treatments, area rugs, lighting options as well as bathroom mirrors and fixtures. Jeanne helped us make our new home beautiful and comfortable. She is a true professional and a joy to work with. Moreover, Jeanne always goes above and beyond for her clients with grace, a friendly smile and her own special reassuring way. - Catherine

I honestly don’t think I would have ever found a place I truly loved if it wasn’t for Jeanne. She really got to know me and my style and set up viewings for places I would have never found on my own. She was so helpful and responsive to feedback. I never felt awkward or bad telling her my likes and dislikes like I have felt with others in the past. It was great knowing that she wasn’t going to let me settle on an apartment, she was determined to find the perfect place for me and kept looking until I was happy! Cannot thank her enough for all of her hard work and help!! If you are looking to find your dream home-Jeanne is your girl! - Jenna

As a first time home-buyer, I can't say enough great things about Jeanne. My husband and I were both uneducated in the home searching/buying process, and didn't even know exactly what we wanted or were looking for in a home, and she was able to answer all of our questions and remain patient with us the entire time. She was extremely attentive, listened to our likes, dislikes, needs, and wants, and quickly caught on to show us only homes that met both my husband and I's tastes. She was also very honest and would point out negative features in a home that I would have never thought of, so I knew she had our best interest in mind and wasn't just trying to make a quick sale. Jeanne made our home buying experience painless and fun, and I would recommend her to anyone looking to purchase a home in the Chicago area. - Lauren

We’ve been so lucky to work with Jeanne Rickard for over 8 years in both a commercial and residential context. Jeanne eased the process from start to finish consulting on site selection, space planning, and interior design. Jeanne quickly understood the needs and personality of each project. That insight has been invaluable in helping us find and transform just right space, which she has now done four times! Jeanne’s ability to see the potential of each space and how it could be adapted has helped us make strategic and well-informed choices. Jeanne's vision combined with her fierce commitment to getting the job done right inspires confidence and delivers beautiful outcomes. Finding just the right place is never easy, but with Jeanne we’ve been well-supported through each journey with stunning results! Jeanne has our highest recommendation. - Tiffany & George

Jeanne was a valued partner in the redesign of our home. She helped with difficult decisions, from the design of the roof line and new windows to the type of wood floors to install. Her sense of design coupled with her head for quality and value were indispensable to us. She also helped to keep the process enjoyable! - Kathryn

We worked with Jeanne on the purchase and renovation of our new home, a one bedroom condo in North Streeterville/Gold Coast. Jeanne has incredible vision and while she certainly pushed us out of our comfort zone helped us to find, buy and renovate an incredible top floor condo with amazing views. The renovation was stressful as one can imagine but the final outcome was worth the challenges and Jeanne provided really inspired design work, hired and oversaw all contractors, handled all purchases including cabinets and appliances and provided top notch interior design support throughout the project. She is a true one stop shop. Go Jeanne! - Barry

I have know Jeanne on a personal level for a number years and have long been the recipient of her impeccable character. However, having the pleasure of working with her professionally even further solidified my belief in her abilities. Jeanne was so diligent in the process of helping me with the purchase of my townhouse. She worked tirelessly and patiently to find just the right place for me. Her multi-talented background brought the perfect blend of design, technology, real estate knowledge, and negotiating savvy, all of which contributed to me finding a beautiful home that is just perfect for me. She is the consummate professional and I will recommend her services to all! - Penny

We went into our move with only some vague ideas about the kind of place we wanted. Jeanne not only helped us figure out exactly what we were looking for, but was also a strong advocate and sounding board for us when a listing just didn’t feel quite right. Jeanne is smart, excited, patient, and passionate about helping her clients. We’re delighted to have worked with her, and would recommend her in a heartbeat. - Austin & Claire

Jeanne Rickard is talented at what she does, she was extremely professional, she did not give up until we were completely satisfied, and most of all it was a pleasure to spend time with her. Even though we were from out of state, she continued looking and doing previews for us. She was tenacious and persistent and she always kept only our interests in mind. We have never seen a realtor work that hard for us. And perhaps even most importantly, we not only gained our perfect residence in Chicago, we gained a new friend. - Ray Jones
