Kelly Ungar has always had a flair for design and renovation. She grew up in a family of general contractors, so she had a hammer in her hand from a young age. Working with her family renovating homes is what led to her passion for real estate and all it has to offer. She has taken her affinity for architecture and her desire to help people, to build a successful real estate career. She prides herself in being able to see the potential of even the most aesthetically challenged homes and passing that vision to her clients. Her skills in remodeling and renovation set her apart from other agents because she can help give her clients realistic ideas of how to turn a blank canvas home into the perfect home for them!
With a bachelor's degree in Business and extensive marketing coursework, Kelly is also the Creative Coordinator for the Ortman Group & manages all team social media pages. She loves handling the team’s online presence because it allows her to make Real Estate fun while simultaneously educating the public on what buying and selling really looks like. Her background in business has given her the necessary skills to effectively negotiate deals and get the most ideal outcomes on behalf of her clients, time and time again. She is a Certified Staging Consultant, which aids getting her seller clients top dollar on the sale of their homes as well as a Certified Pricing Strategy Advisor, which provides her with advanced skills in pricing properties, creating CMAs, working with appraisers, and guiding clients through the anxieties and misperceptions they often have about home values.
Kelly is proud that her business is built on communication, dedication & transparency. This recipe has led her to consistently grow her sales every year and help more people achieve their real estate goals. Twice she has received the Five Star Rising Agent award, which recognizes professionals who have excelled in sales & customer service when beginning their Real Estate careers. Along with her team, she has received Berkshire Hathaway’s Chairman’s Circle Platinum Award for being the top 1% of the company based on gross commissions or closed units. She strives to provide the highest level of customer service by being quick to respond and taking care of all the small details, ensuring every transaction is as stress-free and smooth as possible for her clients!
In her spare time, Kelly enjoys trying out new Arlington Heights restaurants, dancing around the kitchen to “Baby Shark” with her three daughters and dreaming up new renovation projects to annoy her husband with.
