THE REAL DEAL
Property People was founded by Jennie Berger in 2019 with the goal of providing peace of mind to struggling homeowners by buying their older houses and properties in disrepair with the least amount of hassle. Over the years Jennie’s mission has continued to evolve, and she is driven daily by a profound desire to improve people’s lives, our communities, and humanity on the whole. To date, the small but mighty team at Property People has completed more than 18 projects in the city of Chicago, ranging from single family home gut rehabs with basement dig downs and full second story additions, to condo renovations, and new construction of single family homes and small multi-unit condo buildings. Thrilled to offer design consulting services for investors and homeowners who may need a creative hand to hold as they navigate the sometimes confusing and ovewhelming process of renovation and construction. Simply put: we are deeply commited to caring about you, and treating you as you wish to be treated. This is our oath, both personally and professionally.
“The team at Property People has been a pleasure to work with and they consistently work to help the people in their community and beyond!“

Jennie Berger, Owner. Inspired by her beautiful, eclectic, kindhearted mother – who was also her best friend – Jennie’s journey into the world of real estate began serendipitously in 2019, about a year after her mom passed away.
With a passion for all things creative, the core of Jennie’s mission is to serve other people by providing the highest level of service via transparent communication with clients, design consulting with investors and homeowners, and property management services, both locally and out of state.
She has a long history in the hospitality industry beginning in 1994 where she started as a ‘coat check gal’ at a five-star Italian restaurant in Hoboken NJ (also her hometown) and eventually rose to front of the house (FOH) manager. Then an exciting eight year stint producing, casting, and assisting with the development of fun TV shows on networks like Travel Channel, HGTV, ID Network, and Food Network took Jennie around the world, fostering within her a sincere appreciation for different landscapes, customs, and cultures.
Today, she is thrilled to continue serving people in various capacities. Whether that means designing a new construction single family home, providing luxury furnished rental housing for business travelers, travel medical professionals, and relocating families in Chicago, Knoxville TN, and Jacksonville FL, or volunteering with hospice patients.
Jennie adores people, traveling, biking, yoga, volleyball, pickleball, Broadway musicals, creating new plant based dishes, and spending time with puppies, whenever and wherever possible.
“At it’s core, our mission is to deliver peace of mind by creating partnerships with everyone we meet. It’s following up on our promises. Over delivering on customer service. And treating you like you’re part of our family. Because that’s how we’d want our mom and dad to be treated if they were in your shoes.“
