Specialties

Knowledge is power and when it comes to real estate in the city of Chicago, Ed Jelinek has been called, «a storehouse of information.» He has been consulted as an expert in the market by The Chicago Tribune, featured as a cover story for Real Estate Executive Magazine and selected for Metro Chicago Agent Magazine’s «40 under 40» 2007 Edition, among others.

Ed’s specialties include the luxury real estate market, relocations and first-​time buying and selling. He also serves as a resource for high-​end developers who want to ensure their properties are in keeping with current market trends.

Ed knows the history and current status of the neighborhoods throughout the city. His unique grasp of the bigger picture will give you confidence that your property investment decisions are the right ones, while his discretion will assure your privacy will be respected. He delivers service of the highest caliber, adopting a concierge approach to his services to assist you in any manner required.

History

Established in 1998.

Back in 1998 Ed Jelinek gave Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage a glimpse of good things to come, by earning the Rookie of the Year title for his Chicago real estate sales. Since those early days, his vast knowledge and depth of experience have helped him rise to the upper echelon of all Chicago real estate agents. Coldwell Banker rewards productivity, and Ed has earned their highest praise year after year. He is a regular in Coldwell Banker’s President’s Club, which recognizes only the very top level of agents. For his total number of closed sales, he was named their #1 City Agent in 2005, and has consistently ranked in the top ten on that list.

But if you ask Ed, he’d say his highest honor is the trust of his clients, the referrals they send him, and the way he’s been invited into their social circles once they’ve worked with him. The wedding invitations and birth announcements he has received are more precious to him than all his professional titles and awards.

I worked with Ed as he was the broker for my clients, the sellers, in a real estate transaction. I found him to be hard working, responsive, patient and collaborative in making the transaction smooth as could be. I only hope I have the pleasure of working with him again.

Posts deceptive listing prices to get your attention. Very poor business practice. Quick to respond to inquiries, but cannot trust someone who cannot be truthful about the most basic information.

I never knew it could be so good. Compared to my last realtor, working with Ed was night and day difference — no, complete dead of night darkness and light of 1,000 suns difference. During the cray-​cray months of finding just the right place, Ed was an effective listener, more than patient, objective in giving us his opinions — and fun to boot.
I don’t know how he does it, but Ed seems to remember every place we ever saw. While we might be gushing about 1 place, Ed would pipe in and compare/​contrast with another place we had seen weeks ago. We never felt pressured about making a decision — ever. In fact, if we had decided not to buy, I think Ed would have said great, let me know if I can help you in the future.
On more than 1 occasion, Ed leveraged his connections (i.e. contractors to mortgage brokers to inspectors, etc.) which were only were only a phone call away — even while driving between appointments. The ease of access and the value of Ed’s connections not only far exceeded what I would have expected, but it so helped reduce our stress. I mean buying a place is HUGE… my partner’s and my zillion ideas and questions and our screaming-​into-​the-​pillow moments usually resulted in a 2 am email to Ed. His calm and thorough responses were perfect — acknowledge what we were asking or feeling, give us his opinion on what do to do next, why, and how he was going to help. I don’t think Ed ever met a «what if» scenario on which he — or someone he knew — could not provide input or some sort of action.
What more could you ask?! Props as well to his staff person Lorena, who kept all of us informed, on time, and on task. Clearly, I would highly recommend Ed for your realty services.

We love Ed! He is absolutely the best. We would not have found our amazing house without him. He listened to what our needs were and found houses to show us that met our criteria. After we saw a house, he would then go through pros and cons of the house. He never tried to push us to buy a house.
After we closed on the house, Ed was still there to help! He made sure we were settled in the house and that everything was working properly. He recommended great vendors for us to use such as a moving company and cleaners.
Even though I am so happy with our house, I was a little sad when we closed on our house because I knew that meant we would not be talking to Ed as often. This speaks volumes regarding his personality. Ed is such a great guy. He made the house hunt fun.

Ed did an outstanding job helping us sell our home and find a new home in Chicago. He was patient and thorough explaining the selling process and getting our home ready to sell which enabled us to have a contract on our home within a week of listing at a higher price than we expected. He also did a great job helping us to find a perfect home. He was straightforward when explaining the pros and cons of each home when visited and helped us find the perfect home for us which we were successfully able to purchase at the price. I would highly recommend Ed as a real estate agent. He is knowledgeable about the market, trustworthy, and does everything he can to do the right thing for his clients.

Ed Jelinek is simply one of the best, most personable, and most knowledgeable people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. He is a great person and a great realtor. He helped me both find a place and sell a place in Edgewater. If you need any real estate help in Chicago I would highly recommend using Ed as your relator.

I cannot say enough good things about Ed. I was new to the city and knew nothing about buying property here. Ed could have sold me the first thing that cam along, but he did not. He guided me intensely, and when he told me that he thought my current residence was a solid place I knew I could trust him 100% as he had my best interest at heart. Now that I know the city a bit better I now see how I could have taken so many wrong turns — with Ed’s guidance, I did not. I will be forever grateful that he was more interested in me making a solid investment, than a quick sale. I have never met an agent that I trusted more, or who was more knowledgeable and professional. Thank you Ed!
