Mark Kelner.
Real estate broker with United Realty Group, working on my own across Chicago and the north and northwest suburbs.
I grew up in Chicagoland and went to Loyola University Chicago, where I studied biology. I didn’t go into science, but the habit stayed: look at the evidence and check the numbers twice.
That’s most of how I work. A seller should see the sales a price came from. A buyer should know what the inspection found before deciding what it’s worth. And everyone should know where things stand at every stage without having to chase me for it.
I work on my own. When you hire me you get me, the same person from the first call to the closing table.
Outside work I’ve been involved for years with the Lisker Music Foundation, a Chicago nonprofit behind a classical concert series, scholarships for young musicians and community outreach.

Mark listed & sold our condo and was expert, professional, and thorough. I recommend him enthusiastically. His knowledge of the area ensured a fair list price (and a timely sale), his contacts helped us get the property ready to list, and he has strong negotiating skills.
