Jacqueline Patton

As a Chicagoland native, Jacqueline has always been fascinated by the diverse array of real estate that Chicago and the surrounding suburbs have to offer. During my high school years at Loyola Academy, where students hail from both city and suburbs, she had the unique opportunity to explore and become familiar with areas spanning from the neighborhoods in downtown Chicago all the way to the Wisconsin border. As she traveled from city to suburbs and back, visiting friends from all over, she found that she truly enjoyed learning about different areas and seeing all the different types of buildings and spaces that people called home.

Though she left Chicago to attend undergraduate school at the University of Illinois in Champaign-Urbana, she returned to Chicago for law school at the Loyola University School of Law and resumed her exploration of Chicago’s various diverse and vibrant neighborhoods. She graduated, was admitted to Illinois Bar, and immediately began working at a fast-paced insurance litigation defense firm. While she enjoyed the high-energy aspect of working at a trial litigation firm, she soon felt like something was missing. Fate intervened a short time later when she began working with a broker from Baird & Warner to purchase a home in downtown Chicago.

As she visited buildings in different neighborhoods, she discovered how much she truly enjoyed the entire home buying process. she loved sifting through listings, walking through the neighborhoods, and seeing properties that others had turned into homes. It was then, during her own home search, that she realized that she wanted to help other people find their perfect homes or sell their current homes so that they could move on to their next life adventure. She kept her law license, left the law firm, and obtained her broker’s license. Her experience with Baird & Warner during my own home search was so positive that she knew right where she wanted to end up. Now, she can proudly say that she is a broker with Baird & Warner.

Her path to working in residential real estate was a winding one, but now she is where she belongs, she has lived in and explored both this magnificent city and its beautiful suburbs for her entire life, so if you are looking to buy, sell, or rent a home in or around Chicago, please do not hesitate to contact her!
