john greene Realtor®
We are john greene Realtor, a family owned and operated company founded in 1976 by John Greene. Initially, John worked with a large Chicagoland brokerage. While the brokerage experienced successful growth, the quality of service and their ability to make real-time, locally-based decisions began to decline. John saw an opportunity to add value to the local market through a new model that focused on personal relationships, hand-picked agents and local expertise. The vision for the company was captured in the tagline “A Better Way”.
Since that day, john greene Realtor has been committed to helping its communities grow, not just growing its business. As a result, john greene Realtor is revered as a family-owned boutique brokerage that brings the reach of an expansive global network of independent real estate companies to each and every one of its clients.
As the next generation of family leadership guides john greene Realtor into the future, we remain committed to the people and values that built this company. Our company is a full-service residential brokerage firm that is filled with hand-picked agents who share the same vision, sensibilities, respect, and dedication as our founder. We focus on the quality of our agents over the quantity of our salesforce; proudly maintaining our 40-year reputation for excellence, innovation, and delivering a five-star client experience.
As testament of our success, we have received many accolades including being named to the Chicago Tribune Top Workplaces, voted Best Real Estate Company by readers of Naperville Magazine the past 8 years in a row, and being named to the 2015 and 2016 Inc. 5000 list of the fastest growing private companies in the America.

- There is only one word to describe Gretchen... EXCELLENCE. We worked together for Over 7 months after I move back from the West Coast. And through and insane housing market with dynamic inventory and interest rate changes daily Gretchen was a patient and service minded friend. Her knowledge of the Chicago land market from as far north as Elgin to as far South as Willowbrook and as far weat as Aurora proves she is the suburban expert in residential home realty.The best part of Gretchen is how much fun we had looking for homes throughout the adversity of a crazy market. She is without a doubt the Chicago suburb expert. I cannot offer a higher recommendation for you to choose Gretchen as your realtor, advisor, and friend in your home search. Thank you Gretchen!zuser20160210112044657
- Gretchen is one of the best realtors I've ever met and worked with! She helped us with selling our home and not only sold it, but sold it 20k over list price!! We are so grateful for her excellent marketing on our home and expertise in the reality field. Gretchen is extremely responsive and quick to get back to you when you have any questions/concerns while working with her. Even after the selling of our home, she is still making time to talk with us to answer extra questions that have come up post close. If you're looking for a realtor that truly loves and understands the housing market, please give her a call. She is absolutely INCREDIBLE, pays attention to detail and stays up to date on market trends.jmjacques13
- We have had the pleasure of working with Gretchen on the sale and purchase of three homes. She is extremely knowledgeable and pays attention to details. We loved that she is always available for any and all questions big or small. Gretchen isn’t just doing a job. She really is very passionate about her business and is truly invested in finding you the right home or the right buyers for your sale. We are happy to say she is no longer just our realtor. She has become a friend.zuser20190521171812327
