Years ago, Mark Rantis experienced many challenges (like the lack of guidance and available resources) when moving his father to a senior living facility. “I saw a huge gap in the real estate world that needed a solution to help families navigate this draining process,” he says.
“It has become my mission to be the ‘Easy’ button for families that have to make these moves.”
To better serve his niche market, Rantis serves on the Board of Directors and State Board for Illinois Continuity of Care, a nonprofit that serves seniors and aging populations. Awarded the 2021 Chicago Agent Magazine Who's Who, and seven-time recipient of Chicago Magazine’s Five Star Real Estate Agents Award, Rantis believes the “secret sauce” to the industry comes from truly understanding that he’s there to help others achieve their real estate
goals with the help of his knowledge, expertise and systems he has in place. Rantis attributes his success to his ability to form and keep relationships, which explains why 98% of his
business comes from referrals. He takes a casual, yet professional approach to real estate and says he is serious and direct when he needs to be. A true self-critic, Rantis says he always makes sure to be growing and learning from his mistakes, which leads to a very high standard he sets for himself and how he runs his business. He also uses the lessons he learned on and off the field while playing football to guide him towards success. “This is a people business. I was always taught by my parents to be honest, and to treat others as I would like to be treated,” Rantis says. “These traits have always propelled me.”
