Meet the IKGroup at Jameson Sotheby’s
In real estate, experience matters—but so does vision. That’s why we’re excited to share that two of Chicago’s top brokers, Ivona Kutermankiewicz and Karen Ranquist, have officially joined forces to create IKGroup. And we’re making this move under the prestigious umbrella of Jameson Sotheby’s International Realty.
So what does this mean? More expertise, more resources, and an even better experience for our clients.
How We Got Here
Ivona’s Story: With a deep passion for real estate and a track record of helping buyers and sellers navigate the luxury market, Ivona has built a career on strategy, sharp negotiation skills, and an unwavering commitment to her clients.
Karen’s Story: Karen took a unique path to real estate, starting out as a licensed social worker in Chicago Public Schools. That experience gave her a people-first approach to everything she does. Since jumping into real estate in 1997, she’s become one of the most trusted names in the industry, especially in modern and contemporary homes.
Why We Teamed Up
Real estate is constantly evolving, and we saw an opportunity to create something bigger and better together. We’ve always respected each other’s work, and when we realized how much we share the same approach to client service, it just made sense to join forces.
Enter IKGroup—a powerhouse team that’s all about delivering top-tier service, smart strategies, and deep local expertise. We’re also lucky to have Lucyna Wrucha-Jenk, Sylvia Jablonska, and Malgorzata Zatloukal on our team—each bringing their own strengths to the table.
Why Jameson Sotheby’s?
We loved our time at Berkshire Hathaway, but we saw a chance to grow and offer even more for our clients. Jameson Sotheby’s brings a global reach, world-class marketing, and a brand that truly understands the luxury market. Plus, they just get it—when it comes to high-end real estate, you need a brokerage that can keep up with the demands of today’s buyers and sellers.
What’s Next?
We’re hitting the ground running, helping our clients buy and sell in West Town, Bucktown, Wicker Park, Lincoln Park, and beyond. If you’re looking to make a move or just want to know what’s happening in the market, let’s talk.
This is a new chapter for us, and we’re beyond excited for what’s ahead. Same dedication, even stronger team. Let’s do this.
