Your Key Team

Mary Hanburger credits much of her 22 years of success to her acute ability to listen to people so that she can understand their real estate aspirations. Her expert negotiation skills coupled with her in-depth knowledge of Chicago’s neighborhoods are matched only by her honesty and transparency. This is why clients trust her to help them buy and sell in one of the country’s most complex markets. Moreover, Mary’s stellar record of accomplishment speaks for itself: she was integral to the success of one of the city’s top real estate teams for over eight years, helping the group earn more than $175 million in annual sales. As an independent agent, she earned the title of a Chicago Association of Realtors Top Producer and is now a part of one of Chicago's top real estate teams, the Home Discovery Team at Jameson Sotheby’s International Realty.

Mary is known for her ability to put people at ease and to earn clients’ confidence, the true hallmarks of an outstanding communicator in both words and actions. As a Chicago resident, she possesses extensive experience helping people buy and sell property in a myriad of the city’s neighborhoods, such as Lincoln Park, River North, Gold Coast, Streeterville, West Loop, Lakeview, Logan Square, Bucktown and Wicker Park. Her clients include first-time buyers, investors, individuals, families, and empty nesters while she is incredibly knowledgeable about rowhomes, townhomes, single-family homes, lofts, and condominiums. Most importantly, she dedicates equal attention to each client because she understands a real estate decision is truly life-changing.

Mary spends her time away from real estate with her daughter Charlotte, their dogs Archie and Betty, their cats Mia and Millie and family and friends. She enjoys doing anything and everything with her daughter as well as yoga, cooking, teaching, restaurants, and running. Chicago’s style and the beauty of its architecture make her career as a Realtor as exciting for her as it is for her clients. Without a doubt, Mary loves what she does and the people for whom she does it, and that enthusiasm resonates in each relationship she builds and every transaction she accomplishes.

I began my real estate career 20 year ago, specializing in residential sales, with a focus on buyer and listing representation in Chicago’s diverse neighborhoods and local suburbs. My experience in various market cycles will provide you with extensive knowledge of the local inventory, excellent communication and follow-up, and access to the most cutting edge tools and resources offered through our phenomenal global brand fit to capitalize on today’s market trends.

I was born and raised in Deerfield, IL and graduated from the University of San Diego in 2001. After completing my Master’s degree from Northwestern University, I began my real estate career with the Home Discovery Team, a boutique brokerage in Lincoln Park, where I helped develop marketing and managed client relations as our team increased sales to over $100 million a year.

The boutique approach to real estate taught me the most important personal communications and service tools needed to address each individual transaction. After transitioning to Jameson Sotheby’s Int’l Realty with the Home Discovery Team, my focus has expanded to assisting my clients throughout Lake County. I am dedicated to assuring every client’s needs are met, at every stage of the process, delivering the highest level of service and producing successful results for more than 20 years in 2022!

I am a member of the Mainstreet Organization of Realtors, the Illinois Association of Realtors and the National Association of Realtors. My family and I are active members of the St. Joseph Catholic Church and School in Libertyville. My husband, Chris, and I have 3 children; Anna, Charlie and Lily and we run a separate family business specializing in a re-design/re-build concept for single family homes throughout the northern suburbs.

I opened my own real estate brokerage, Home Discovery, 28 years ago. During my history in the Chicago real estate market, I have seen many different market cycles, neighborhood development and various deal structures. Through it all I have maintained a love for my career in the Chicagoland real estate market as a top producing, professional, aggressive broker, making all my transactions as smooth as possible. I am dedicated to my work and am blessed to feel fulfilled by it. I truly enjoy people and want all the relationships I make to benefit from my knowledge.

I made the decision to affiliate my Home Discovery Team business with Jameson Sothebys International Realty in late 2017. I am thrilled and excited by their extraordinary market position in Chicago offering extensive local knowledge and connections in tandem with the global power of Sothebys international Realty with maximum marketing exposure, advanced marketing, and online resources.

I personally have closed thousands of deals in my career and can represent any type of property that a client needs help with. From High-Rise Condominiums, Single Family Homes, Lofts, Townhouses, Condominiums and Cooperatives, 2 Flats, 3 Flats and Multi Unit property, Retail and Commercial or rentals, I work in every capacity to ensure a successful transaction.

I am passionate about my career and also have a wonderful family. I grew up in Elmhurst, IL and my family is still there working and blessed to all work together on the same Home Discovery Team! I am married to an Elmhurst native—James Klatt who is a general contractor and owns his business, Home Details Chicago and we have two amazing children—Joseph 7 years old and Judith 5 years old. I have a perfect balance in my life to spend as much time as I can with my family and thrive in my career to attain my goals, successfully helping as many people with quality service.

I have a Supportive and Brilliant Team and together we sold over $100 Million in 2016 making us the Top Brokers at our company. We would appreciate the opportunity to work with you so please contact us so you can see why we are the key to your real estate needs.

As a member of The Home Discovery Team, understanding and achieving your real estate goals is my highest priority. Neighborhood knowledge and market insight, along with outstanding personal service are the cornerstones of my business. As a part of one of the leading brokerages in the Chicagoland area, I can offer you advanced tools and resources. Whether you are buying or selling, I will provide guidance at each step of the way. I invite you to contact me to discuss your next steps.
