I have been licensed in Illinois since 1979. Back then we worked from one 3X3 black-and-white photo with basic property details, in a book published weekly. This method has since evolved into the remarkable, instant access to comprehensive property information that is available today.
I have worked with a wide range of clients buying or selling residential, commercial and investment properties. I spent several years as a sales manager for some of the largest home builders in the Chicago area. I enjoy helping clients understand available financing options, qualification requirements, and transaction timeframes. This approach has proven invaluable in managing expectations for both buyers and sellers.
I have owned or partnered in several small businesses over the years. This has provided valuable insights and experience that benefit my role as Broker/Owner of American Vision Real Estate Group. I am excited about the future as we continue to grow and develop the company.

I have worked with Jim Mackey twice now and have been so pleased with the results that I referred a friend, who also had a great experience. Jim is highly knowledgeable, caring, and was essential to making each transaction smooth and stress-free. He truly listens and delivers, finding the perfect fit for my needs while staying on budget. During my last sale, we received six offers in just three days; I am not sure this would have happened without Jim's thoughtful guidance.

I just want to express my gratitude to Jim Mackey for his help in purchasing our home. His professionalism and knowledge is unsurpassed. As a new home buyer I had a million questions and concerns, Jim handled them all with complete understanding and patience no matter how trivial or obvious they were. Our parameters for a home were many and varied but that was never a problem for Jim, even when we had changed our mind after we saw something in a magazine or anything, Jim would handle it on the fly with no problem. Because of his expertise our closing went smoothly, without any complications. I have complete gratitude for Jim's help and understanding and highly recommend him as a top notch realtor. Buying a home is extremely stressful but working with Jim will put your mind at ease.
American Vision kept us informed at every step and helped us understand financing and timelines. The process felt organized and calm.
