⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"Sarah is absolutely fantastic! I was initially looking for a condo or townhouse, and she must have sent me hundreds of listings to get a sense of what I liked and what I didn’t like (e.g., size, layout, location, etc.). She was always patient, understanding, and quick to provide insight about things I hadn’t considered. About 3 months into the search, I told her that I wanted to change direction and focus on single family homes. Within weeks she found me the perfect bungalow, and it wasn’t even on the market yet. The house is in a great neighborhood within a block of a park and public transportation. She helped me negotiate down, and I got an amazing deal! All along the way, she was able to help me navigate the home buying process. She connected me with the right mortgage lender and an excellent real estate attorney who made the buying process easy. I couldn’t be happier. I would highly recommend Sarah to anyone who is looking to buy or sell." - Rich C.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"We worked with Sarah to rent a unit in West Town, she was hands down the best broker I have ever worked with! She listens to the must have and nice to haves and really is able to make great recommendations for units and locations! We were on a short time line to rent our unit and she still was able to come up with numerous options to consider and look at. I look forward to working with Sarah again in the future."

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"Sarah quickly understood what type of home I was looking for and where I needed to be. She was vigilant in her monitoring of listings and ultimately found me a great place. She was patient and encouraging. I trusted Sarah had my best interest at heart. Her communications were clear and timely. I truly enjoyed getting to know Sarah and highly recommend her. She also has a good sense of humor which helps as you spend time in the home hunting process."

About Sarah

Sarah Jenema has built her career around helping people get exactly what they need. With a background rooted in service, design, and genuine listening, she takes pride in earning her clients’ trust and guiding them toward the results they’re looking for. As a Realtor with several years of experience, Sarah brings a deep understanding of the Chicago market and a sharp eye for the details that make a home truly special. She is also an active member of the Young Professionals Network, the Women’s Council of Realtors, and Compass Playmakers - a group of agents from around the country who share real estate expertise with little friendly fantasy football competition on the side.

Originally from the Carolinas, Sarah studied early childhood education at the University of South Carolina before her years in hospitality shaped her warm, client-focused approach. After nearly two decades in Chicago, she knows the city’s neighborhoods inside and out and loves sharing everything that makes them unique. She’s always ready with restaurant recommendations—though she’ll admit she’s partial to The Vig and Welcome Back Lounge, where her husband is a partner.

Sarah lives in Jefferson Park with her husband, EJ, their son, Kipton, and their dog, Jasper. When she’s not cheering on the Chicago Bears or her USC Gamecocks, she’s likely seeking out live music around Chicago, curled up with a great book, or soaking up every bit of Chicago summer she can find—whether that’s on a beach, a boat, or on a patio.
