Marissa Schaefer, 2020's "Rising Star" [Top Agent Magazine], co-leads the Gillman Group with her mother, Sharon Gillman, and loves every aspect of real estate.  From selling pre-construction development to single family homes, she is just as comfortable with developers as she is with first-time home buyers.  Marissa has a keen and discerning eye honed during her years in fashion, as well as an inherent love of helping people.  This combination has helped her become a Top Producer in Chicago, seamlessly navigating every transaction.  Her warmth and determination endears her to all her clients- who often become friends- and she is always eager to go the extra mile to get a deal done.  

When Marissa isn’t selling homes, you will find her volunteering at Dress for Success, scouting the city's best interior design shops, and going on adventures with her daughter.  She is passionate about wellness and loves to bake heart-healthy creations for her husband, daughter, and even their pup Lady.
