Meet Jennifer

Hi! I’m Jennifer Hyman, of Hyman Home and Interiors and a top-producing REALTOR® at Coldwell Banker Real Estate Group. 

Whether you’re selling, buying, or updating your space, my unique approach combines market insight and thoughtful design strategies to maximize both beauty and value. When preparing homes for sale, I focus on the updates that matter most to buyers, ensuring your property stands out and sells for top dollar. For buyers and homeowners, I work to transform houses into dream homes that align with their needs and lifestyle.

My process blends professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail. I rely on current design trends, real estate market analysis, professional photography, and cutting-edge marketing to ensure a seamless experience and exceptional results.

As an active member of ASID (American Society of Interior Designers), NKBA (National Kitchen and Bath Association), NAR (National Association of Realtors) and CAR (Chicago Association of Realtors) and a Certified Staging Consultant, I adhere to the highest standards of design and service. My role as a REALTOR® adds an additional layer of expertise, allowing me to guide you through every step of buying, selling, or designing your home.

When I’m not helping clients, I enjoy exploring Chicago’s vibrant neighborhoods and taking inspiration from its architecture, culture, and history. I believe that Design Impacts Lives—and I’m here to make sure it impacts yours for the better.

A Philosophy Rooted in Impact

“Form AND Function” is more than a motto—it’s the heart of everything I do. By integrating the principles of balance, harmony, rhythm, proportion and scale, emphasis, contrast, and details, I craft environments that are as beautiful as they are functional.

Whether you’re buying or selling, I provide expert guidance to ensure you get the most out of your investment. As a REALTOR®, I follow a strict Code of Ethics, putting your interests first while treating all parties with honesty and respect.

Whether you’re selling, buying, or investing, I provide a comprehensive service that blends real estate knowledge with design skill. From pre-sale staging to post-purchase renovations, I handle it all, simplifying the process and delivering exceptional results.

For Sellers:

  • Maximizing Property Value for Sellers
    By identifying and implementing strategic updates, I boost your property’s appeal and market value, ensuring it stands out to buyers and commands top dollar.
  • Expert Market Insight and Pricing Strategies
    I combine in-depth market analysis with my design expertise to accurately price your home, factoring in aesthetic updates that attract buyers and deliver a high return on investment.

For Buyers:

  • Transformative Vision for Buyers
    I help buyers look beyond a property’s current state to see its full potential. With my eye for design and experience with renovations, I guide you in choosing a home that can be reimagined to suit your lifestyle and needs.
  • Seamless Negotiations with a Design Edge
    I use my dual expertise to negotiate not just on price but on elements like repair credits, renovation budgets, or design-focused allowances—ensuring you’re equipped to create your dream space.

Interior Design Services

As an Allied ASID and NKBA member with a Master’s Degree in Interior Design from Harrington College of Design, I bring a deep understanding of form, function, and aesthetics to every project.

Specialties Include:

  • Personalized Space Planning and Furnishing
    I craft tailored layouts that optimize functionality and flow while reflecting your personal style. From choosing the perfect furniture pieces to creating cohesive room arrangements, I ensure every space feels both practical and luxurious.
  • Expertise in Kitchen and Bath Remodels
    Kitchens and bathrooms are the heart of a home—and my specialty. I design these high-impact spaces to combine beauty and efficiency, using materials and layouts that enhance your everyday life while adding significant value to your property.
  • Styling and Accessorizing for Modern Living
    Details make the difference. I skillfully style your space with carefully chosen accessories, lighting, and artwork, creating a finished look that’s polished, inviting, and uniquely yours.
  • Focus on Health, Safety, and Sustainability
    As a member of ASID and NKBA, I prioritize your well-being by adhering to building codes and incorporating eco-friendly materials and design practices. Every decision balances beauty with responsible living.
  • A Dual Vision of Form and Function
    My design philosophy blends artistic vision with practical solutions. Whether it’s incorporating storage in a chic way or making small spaces feel expansive, I design for the way you live today and how you’ll use your space tomorrow.

“Jennifer helped me coordinate furniture and colors in my new home. I tend to like everything and she helped me focus and choose a cohesive style and the color palette. As a result my home turned out beautiful and my husband and I feel comfortable and happy in it. She uses showrooms and artisans in Chicago. Her work was completed on time and on budget.”

— Cheryl K., New Home Construction

“Ms. Hyman is very good to work with. Her ideas and her willingness to listen to our needs and then making them become a reality is great. She has a great color sense and visual sense as well which helped to transform our kitchen from a black and grey “hole” in to a bright and airy warm place to cook. Went from a grey laminate to a patterned Birch wood with Black granite counter tops and hidden strip lighting to brighten the space. A new stove with hood surrounded by white subway tile and glass. At night it was a dark space now it is bright and easy to work in.”

— Jane H., Ravenswood Loft

What clients think

Jennifer is an amazing realtor! I’ve been wanting to move to Chicago for years, and she made it happen. I had almost given up since it was especially difficult trying to find an apartment when I didn’t even live in the state. Jennifer went out of her way to give me tours and even found the perfect apartment in the exact neighborhood I wanted. I am forever grateful to have found Jennifer, and I highly recommend her to anyone needing realty services 🙂
