Born and raised in the greater Chicagoland area, I'm Mark Kelner, a dedicated real estate broker with years of experience representing buyers, sellers, investors, and developers in both Illinois and Florida. From my early days, I've cultivated a deep passion for Chicago, getting to know every corner of this dynamic city inside and out. This profound local knowledge sets me apart and enriches every
transaction I handle. I hold a degree in Biology from Loyola University Chicago, which has provided me with a scientific and analytical approach uncommon in the real estate industry. My time at university not only deepened my understanding of the city's diverse entertainment, culture, restaurants, and nightlife but also gave me insights into how these elements can influence real estate values and the overall experience for my clients. Real estate is more than just a business to me; it's about guiding families and investors through one of the most pivotal journeys of their lives. It's deeply satisfying to support my clients from the first meeting to the final closing. Leveraging modern technology, I utilize the latest advancements in real estate to enhance every buying and selling experience. Aside from my professional life, I am committed to self-improvement and staying active through hiking, cycling, swimming, and engaging in community activities. I am passionate about contributing to Chicago's vibrancy, notably through my longstanding involvement with the Lisker Music Foundation, which supports the local music scene and provides scholarships and outreach programs. As a licensed real estate broker at United Realty Group, I service the City of Chicago and various suburbs including the Northwest, Northern, and Northshore areas, specializing particularly in Wheeling and Buffalo Grove. Our team at United Realty Group includes transaction coordinators, customer relations support, as well as social media and marketing experts, making the home buying process a seamless experience with our in-house lenders. Additionally, I am also a real estate agent with Nexus Realty Group in Florida, servicing areas from Miami to Boca Raton, with a focus on Miami-Dade areas like Aventura, Hollywood, Golden Beach, and Sunny Isles. Whether you're looking to invest, buy, or sell, I am here to provide a comprehensive, personalized service tailored to your real estate needs.
