My passion for Real Estate started at a young age helping my father rehab houses while in high school. That passion soon transferred to me renting and rehabbing properties for myself. The only next logical step was to go into real estate as a committed profession. Having lived in Chicago for over 8 years, I gained an expansive knowledge of the city and its elaborate, exciting neighborhoods.
I have an extreme passion to make sure my clients are going to get the best I have to offer. I always want my clients to walk away happy and know they got not only the best house or best price for their property, but the best deal in the city. Your house is one of the most important assets a person can have, so when you go to buy or sell, you want to make sure you have the best Realtor and you're covered every step of the way. I give my clients that special eye for detail and expertise they need to fulfill their real estate dreams!
My background includes a B.S. from Wabash College in Indiana, where I played baseball and football. When I'm not selling real estate you can probably find me under water diving and taking pictures of all types of marine life, or perhaps teaching baseball pitching lessons for neighborhood parks and clubs.
What My Clients Have To Say
-
I got in contactwith this Kelly when I thought I was moving to Chicago. He was perfect - always kept me informed of new stuff in the areas I gave him, returned my callstimely, but never bothered me and wasn't 'salesy'. I'd recommend talking to him when you begin looking to buy.
Roy Glasgow, Lincoln Park -
You know, we decided to do the politically correct thing and stick with the company agent. Boy was that a mistake. We really wish we had stuck with you.
Rhonda, Logan Square -
As I was interested in moving back to Chicago after more than 15 years, Dreamtown Realty was recommended to me by a friend and I was assigned to Kelly. He was great at managing a home search from several states away including viewing condos and sending me pictures! Kelly always made himself available when I came into town. Beyond facilitating the purchase, Kelly continues to be a valuable resource when I need help making my condo home.

Kelly is an amazing agent! He was so patient with me, showing me house after house after house, never pressuring me, but always providing sound, well-informed advice. I recommend Kelly Smith to anyone looking for any kind of property!
Mas & Rachel, Bucktown -
We were extremely fortunate to have Kelly Smith as our real estate professional. He was always accessible and worked very hard to help us find a condo that met our needs as to location, design and price. We viewed several properties, and, when we found our perfect new home, Kelly helped to make the deal happen for us.
Randy & Mary Ann Smith, West Loop -
In summary, Kelly is one of the most adroit agents out there. He listened to our objectives and found only those properties that were in line with our objectives. He was very patient and accommodating. We were casual buyers, looking for an opportunity and in no hurry. We worked with a two agents prior to finding Kelly and were not happy as they were just looking to get us to make a purchase. Kelly worked diligently to find properties that were worth while and interesting to us, and within a few weeks was able to find us a great property for the right price. Kelly was instrumental in the negotiations process, communicating our point of view effectively. I don't think we would have our current home at this time were it not for Kelly's effort!
Jack and Kari, Old Town -
Kelly Smith makes dreams come true. He works hard for his clients and goes above and beyond his duties to assure you that your plan comes to fruition. We closed today on our dream crib thanks to his diligence. I applaud his services and his friendship simultaneously! I recommend him if you're serious about home ownership in these rough times...Thanks Kelz for making it happen!
Allan and Catherine, Logan Square -
Kelly recently guided me through the purchase of my first condo in Chicago. His knowledge and attitude throughout the search process, negotiations, and closing were invaluable. He asked the right questions on showings, recommended a great bank, and ensured closing went off without a hitch. I highly recommend Kelly!
Jeffrey Halerz, South Loop -
I would like to express my notes of appreciation for the all the time and energy that you put on this task. We were highly comfortable with you in entire process and felt you were a part our family in decision making process, rather than pushing it too much. For this reason, we are grateful and we would like to come back to you in the future.
Farhad, The Loop
