JACK BRENNAN

A lifelong resident of Chicago and the Western Suburbs, Jack Brennan has a passion for working with clients who are navigating their next lifestyle chapters—from first-time buyers to growing families and empty nesters. In 2021, Jack’s Western Suburban team, The Brennan Group, joined forces with Eli Masud’s city-based group, Second City Agents at Compass, making them a powerhouse team that sold over $74 million in 2022. Jack’s knowledge of both the Western Suburbs and the city, combined with his fresh energy and unwavering work ethic, have made him a multi-million-dollar producer year after year.

How do you differentiate yourself from the competition?

Personally running point on all of my clients’ deals. My guidance and insights are the reasons my clients partner with me. I’m not just involved in the big moments; I’m helping them navigate through the little ones too.

Market trends you anticipate in 2023?

The significant lack of quality inventory across our hyperlocal markets is going to be one of the key drivers behind a competitive 2023, for both buyers and sellers. While the national media strums a different, more negative tune, our local markets’ slight decrease in demand due to forces like rising rates has little effect on our lack of good inventory. It encourages sellers to spend time and money prepping their homes, as it will streamline their process and profit on the backend. For buyers, it’s so important to be represented by a local player who can get them into homes before they’re on the MLS or Private Network. 2023 is going to be a market centered around grounded perspectives.

Best thing about 2022?

Professionally, I passed my $12 million personal sales goal— topping out at just over $18 million in closed volume—a more than 300 percent individual growth year-over-year.
