Working with Jovanka was an absolute pleasure! She was a true partner throughout our home search--patient, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive. Thanks to her expert guidance and deep understanding of the Chicago market, my husband and I found a home that checked so many of our boxes. From navigating listings to managing paperwork and keeping us on track through closing, Jovanka made every step feel seamless. We feel so lucky to have found her--thank you, Jovanka!

5 stars are not enough to value Jovanka! We met each other at first home buyers happy hour and Jovanka's professionalism and deep knowledge of the market made us excited about working with Jovanka. She was always available for us, helped us with all the questions we had, navigated through the negotiation period. Buying condo with Jovanka made the process easy, I would definitely recommend working with Jovanka!

Jovanka was the best realtor we could have asked for. Super helpful navigating the process as a first time home buyer, very knowledgeable and able to advise on things like contract negotiation. We also didn't have a car and Jovanka offered to pick us up and drive us on several occasions - totally not expected but just one more example of her going above and beyond. Highly recommend working with Jovanka!

Fantastic experience working with Jovanka with our purchase of a condo in a new city. First off, she is extremely knowledgeable about the city, types of properties, areas, and market values. Secondly, she was extremely patient helping us with a purchase while we lived out of town. Thirdly, she never was pressuring us and was patient while we found the most suitable place - while listening to what we wanted. As a result, she found us a property that ticked all of our boxes in an area we were not aware of and we ended up falling in love with the area. Great communication, negotiation skills, helped us find great vendor, put us in touch with a great lender. She made the process a breeze! Overall we couldn't be happier! Thanks a million!

Excellent agent. Very organized and on top of every detail. Jovanka had a remarkable ability to maximize the value we received as sellers while also finding great properties and showings for us as buyers. Ive worked with many agents over the years and I've never seen one work so hard and be so on top of every aspect of buyer and seller journey. Jovanka rolled up her sleeves and got to work for us and the results were spectacular. We have hired her three times now. On the sale side she got us staged and listed. Staging and cleanup took a while and she was in there working with the cleaners and contractors very hands on. Definitely worth it as we sold above our expected value (but at her higher list price) with multiple offers being developed in 5 days after listing. On the buyer side and renter side she has also be incredible. Highly recommend.

Jovanka did an excellent job helping me find a loop condo. She very helpful in helping me understand the options and relative value of the properties that were available. She also was very helpful in providing me resources to both complete the transaction and transform my condo after purchasing it. She was pleasure to work with and very on top of each and every detail. I would highly recommend her to anyone buying or selling property in Chicagoland

Jovanka is a real-estate warrior. She ease-fully helped sell my apartment at the end of 2022 (i.e., during a very unpredictable time in the market). And not only did she sell it during a strange historical moment: her thoughtful approach - namely, converting my one-bedroom to a two-bedroom with little effort - resulted in a sale price that far exceeded my expectations. Jovanka also assisted with millions of little things. I was not readily available to go to my property on a daily basis, but Jovanka was always there to let in handymen, talk to contractors, and hassle my HOA. I highly recommend Jovanka for your next real estate journey.

While looking for homes, I've spoken with a variety of different realtors until I had the pleasure of working with Jovanka. I can't speak highly enough about Jovanka. She is extremely responsive and great with suggestions for homes to view. Based on what I was looking for, she helped me look at some great homes in the Bucktown/Wicker Park area as well as South Loop. She really listens and has been there every step of the way. She is professional, knowledgeable, honest, hardworking and just easy to work with. I highly recommend Jovanka to my friends and anyone who is looking for a new home. Thank you Jovanka for all your help and being so patient with me!

I cannot say enough good things about working with Jovanka as my real estate agent. She provided truly white-glove service from start to finish -- proactive, professional and incredibly supportive every step of the way. She went above and beyond to make the entire process smooth and stress-free. Even when I couldn't be there in person, she took the initiative to help me manage furniture donations and the cleaning service. She also connected me with trusted and reputable service providers to help with the move, which made a huge difference. Jovanka is kind, proactive and her foresight gave me peace of mind during what could have been a very overwhelming time. I always felt like I was in good hands with Jovanka. Her staging, photos, video and marketing materials resulted in the property selling quickly. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a realtor.

Jovanka was great to work with for our recent condo purchase! As first time home buyers, we always had a lot of questions. Jovanka always took the time to answer our questions and walk us through the home buying process. Jovanka was very responsive, knowledgeable, professional, and fun to work with! Thanks to Jovanka, we were able to gain access to private listings and/or early access to listings, which was a huge plus in this competitive market! Thanks to Jovanka's help and guidance, we were able to find the perfect condo for us! I strongly recommend Jovanka to anyone looking to buy/sell in Chicago!

Sale of my 3 properties had stagnated for many months prior to my engagement on Jovanka Novakovic, despite work by several realtors previously. However, when Jovanka took over, her extensive knowledge of my local market and her comprehensive professional acumen quickly brought order out of chaos & provided a lighthouse in the fog of city, HOA & buyer issues. Her patient, prompt, efficiency in diplomatic, truthful communication is remarkable & puts Alexander & his Gordon Knot to shame. I am happy to most highly recommend her as a top-ranking Realtor/Broker! Lee Gonzalez

Jovanka is an absolute rockstar! Not really sure where to start but we she worked with us for over 2.5 years, toured 50+ places through high and low mortgages rates. You are not going to find a more committed agent. She always showed up prepared, smile on her face and a good attitude. Pleasure to work with and it does matter if it is Xmas, New Years or any other holiday, Jovanka is always there for you. Took our feedback well as we were not always the easiest client. Don’t let me forget. She found us our dream place, at a dream price. If you are looking for an agent in Chicago. Jovanka is it!

Jovanka is a cool, patient truth teller. She knows the Chicagoland market better than any realtor with whom I have worked. And I have worked with a few. She is solution focused. She takes the time to discover your needs and aligns them with the market. She never tries to push you into an higher price point. And, she is never, ever late. In sum, Jovanka is a high functioning and punctual real estate professional

Wow! Jovanka's GREAT! She guided us through the entire selling experience, actually finding 3 buyers who submitted bids over our asking price -- BEFORE we even prepared the property for showing! We won't ever forget her lugging her own ladder into our home to change a ceiling light bulb -- and changing it herself! We are so happy to close 45 days before we had thought it would be possible!

Jovanka is an amazing real estate agent. Smart - knows the market, knows what makes a difference in a sale, available for advice, contractor recommendations, tours and more. She is patient, kind, funny and did I mention smart. In the space of a few months she helped me sell my house in Hyde Park and buy a new one in the area. We however looked more widely than Hyde Park especially in the South Loop and she knew both areas so well. She even helped me pack and yes, even clean my old house the night before the photo shoot, as I was running out of time! Wow! She has an eye for staging and knows people to help with all of those nuts and bolts that need to be dealt with in a move. I HIGHLY recommend her!

Jovanka did a great job in making sure my property was ready to show, solving a couple of bumps along the way, and in particular leveraging the resources of Compass to test price points and get a great offer that was accepted and closed.
