Home is where your story begins and we’d love to help you write the first chapter of it. We’re a mother/daughter real estate team. Full time  REALTORS®/real estate brokers, helping clients buy and sell their dream homes in the Chicagoland area. It’s a thrilling and intimidating experience, filled with many misconceptions, so working with the right Realtor® is crucial. Our negotiating skills and marketing “magic” are key in this process. Together, we’ll work closely as a team to buy the perfect home, or sell your property at top dollar 🙂 

You could say real estate is in our blood. Our relatives were Realtors® decades ago. Barb worked in the business back in the 80’s, and returned full-time while raising 3 kids nearly 20 years ago. Sam has been immersed in the business since convincing her parents to send her to Catholic high school nearly 10 years. She worked in TV news prior to jumping into real estate full time back in 2014.  We don’t consider ourselves as saleswomen. We’re more matchmakers, striving to help our clients make their dreams come true. 

From first-time buyers, to down-sizing, and everything in between, we’d love to be your Realtors® for life!  No matter where you may roam, we’ll help you find your home sweet home 😉 Reach out for a free consultation to explore your options. 

“Working with Barb and Sam was a great experience. They have great knowledge and have sold multiple homes in our area. We had multiple offers and above asking price after the first open house. They were very communicative and kept us in the loop with everything. Would definitely recommend this mother/daughter duo.” ~ Client Review

“Barbara and Samantha are excellent professionals who take great care in handling your home needs. They take the time to listen to your opinion and give timely support and suggestions. They are spot on with pricing and up to date with the latest trends and markets. These ladies are the BEST and they are good honest people who give you all their attention. You can’t go wrong with them on your side!” ~ Client Review

“Working with Barb and Sam Jones was a breeze. They took the stress out of the whole process and were so efficient. They were very quick with all correspondence and extremely professional. Sam and Barb provided expert advice and listing knowledge that helped us sell our home fast. We highly recommend Homes by Jones.” ~ Client Review

“Sam Jones was extremely professional, Sam made sure all of my questions were answered promptly and correctly. The whole process from the initial showing to the final closing was smooth. The experience with Sam was above and beyond my expectations. I will continue to use her for any future home purchases or sales and refer her to anyone who is in the market. Barb was also exceptional in keeping the process smooth.” ~ Client Review

“We worked with Sam and we’re extremely impressed! She was efficient, responsive, friendly, and actually listened to what we needed/wanted. We found a house on the private market, with a “coming soon” sign out front and she called the realtor nearly daily until we were allowed through! She had us under contract within 24 hours for under list price (in this market!). The whole experience was wonderful and we cannot recommend this team enough!” ~ Client Review

“Sam was a great resource in helping us find our first home.  She provided us with a great wealth of information, found a lot of houses in the price range and area we were interested in, and gave us feedback on what to look for when purchasing.  I thoroughly enjoyed working with Sam and will be sure to use her as a resource in future home transactions.” ~ Client Review

“As first-time homebuyers in the height of a competitive market, we could not have asked for a better team to guide us through the entire process. From our initial consult we could see firsthand how knowledgeable Sam was about real estate and the market which made us feel really comfortable working with her for such a big investment. She was extremely responsive and made sure we were always some of the first ones to see new houses on the market. Not only that, but she would patiently listen to all of our pros and cons of each house to really understand what was important to us. After a couple of months, we found our dream home and Sam was able to help us beat out 13 competing offers! We could not have asked for a smoother or more supportive experience and would highly recommend Sam and the Homes by Jones team to anyone looking to work with exceptional realtors.” ~ Client Review 

“We listed our home of over 30 years with Barb and Sam Jones.  They were very professional, always on time, and matched the pace at which we wanted to move.  Sam was awesome in helping us negotiate some of the glitches that happened with our town inspector, and kept us apprised of showings and offers.  When we had multiple offers on the property, Sam presented them carefully and thoughtfully to make sure we could see which was the strongest offer in terms of ability to secure a mortgage, as well as amount over asking price.  We closed at $31K over asking price and are very pleased.  We have recommended Barb and Sam to others looking for a smooth selling experience.” ~ Client Review
