The first conversation is always about you.
Whether you're considering a move next month or a year from now — the process starts with listening. Not with a contract, not with a push, not with a sales pitch.
Considered, not rushed.
Buying a home is one of the most significant decisions most people make. Jovanka's role is to help you navigate it with confidence and peace of mind — bringing market context, building-level perspective, and the kind of pre-market access that comes from years of relationships across @properties Christie's International and the broader Chicago brokerage community.
Expect a calm, organized process. Expect to feel heard before any search begins. Expect a partner who is genuinely invested in whether the home is right for you — not whether the transaction closes by Friday.
- Pre-market access
Buildings that quietly circulate inventory before MLS — surfaced through relationships, not portals.
- Building-level perspective
Co-op boards, condo budgets, recent assessment history — context that affects the right offer, not just the right price.
- Out-of-state coordination
Remote walkthroughs, signature orchestration, and seamless logistics for buyers who can't always be in Chicago.
- Beyond closing
The relationship doesn't end at the closing table — it's the beginning of a multi-year resource.
Strategic counsel — quietly applied.
Selling well in Chicago — particularly in boutique buildings and mature neighborhoods — depends more on positioning than on promotion. The right list price, the right pre-market signal, and the right understanding of who's actively looking right now in your specific building is what separates a sale from a listing.
Jovanka combines savvy marketing, strong negotiation skills, and creative problem-solving — quietly applied — to position your home for the best possible outcome while minimizing the stress of the process.
- Off-market positioning
When the right buyer exists before the public listing matters — and Jovanka's network is built to surface them.
- Strategic price counsel
Repositioning based on the building-specific demand curve — sometimes the right move means a frank conversation about the initial number.
- Logistics orchestration
Same-day move-outs and move-ins, out-of-state coordination, contingency planning — handled to the T.
- @properties Christie's network
Backed by Chicago's largest independent brokerage and the global Christie's luxury network.

The first step isn't a contract. It's twenty minutes — to listen, understand, and figure out whether working together makes sense for you.
