Hi, I’m Mari Van Meter—Here to Make Your Real Estate Journey Smoother
Buying or selling a home is a big step, and I’m here to make it easier. I help homeowners in the Northwest Suburbs of Chicago sell with confidence and buyers find the right home with less stress—guiding you every step of the way.
For Sellers
Selling isn’t just about listing your home—it’s about strategy. As a NAR Pricing Strategies Advisor (PSA), I help price your home competitively, market it effectively, and negotiate the best outcome. My Sellers’ Six-Point Guarantee ensures clear communication and peace of mind.
For Buyers
Buying a home should be exciting, not overwhelming. As an Accredited Buyer’s Representative (ABR®), I provide expert guidance, personalized searches, and strong negotiation to get you the best deal. And with my "Love Your Home" Guarantee, if it’s not the right fit, I’ll help you sell it within the first year with no agent compensation.
Committed to Excellence & Community
I believe in lifelong learning to better serve my clients.
I hold multiple certifications, including:
Seniors Real Estate Specialist (SRES®) – Assisting seniors with downsizing and transitions.
Certified Negotiation Expert (CNE) – Ensuring my clients get the best possible terms in any real estate deal.
NAR Pricing Strategies Advisor (PSA) – Helping sellers price their homes competitively to attract buyers while maximizing value.
Accredited Buyer’s Representative (ABR®) – Providing expert representation for homebuyers.
C2EX Commitment to Excellence – A dedication to ethics and professionalism.
I’m also honored to be recognized with:
Best in Real Estate 2024 Award (Best in Real Estate Magazine)
Top 10 Real Estate Agents 2024 Award (Apple News)
Beyond real estate, I’m deeply involved in the community:
President, Wheeling Township AmSpirit Chapter – Supporting local small businesses.
DEI Committee, Mainstreet Board of Realtors – Advocating for fairness and inclusion in real estate.
I’ve called Arlington Heights home since 2014, and I love helping others find their place here too. When I’m not working, you’ll find me with my husband, Ed, and our two black labs, Buddy and Holly, teaching belly dance, or exploring local gems.
