About Me

I’m a local REALTOR® with Compass who believes real estate should feel personal, strategic, and a lot less overwhelming. I take the time to understand what matters most to you, explain your options clearly, and create a plan built around your home, your goals, and your next move. Whether you’re buying, selling, or simply exploring what’s possible, I’m here to be a trusted resource from the first conversation through closing.

YOUR LOCAL REAL ESTATE ADVISOR

I’m not your suit-wearing, Mercedes-driving REALTOR®. Most days, you’ll find me in jeans, driving my Jeep, and probably listening to ’90s rap. What I do bring is a hands-on approach, close attention to detail, and a determination to protect my clients’ best interests. My love of real estate grew from an appreciation for design, architecture, and the way a home can shape someone’s life. With an extensive background in sales and marketing (and more than two decades married to a carpenter turned home inspector) I bring practical knowledge, creativity, and strategy to every transaction. Whether I’m helping a buyer recognize a home’s potential or preparing a seller’s property to stand out, my goal is to make the process feel clear, manageable, and successful.

Hi, I’m Jamie Ross

THE WAY I WORK

I will tell you what I genuinely believe is in your best interest, even when it’s not the easiest answer or the fastest path to a commission

GUIDANCE

My background in sales, design, and marketing (and 22 years married to a carpenter turned home inspector) gives me a well rounded perspective.

PRACTICAL PERSPECTIVE

When you call, text, or email, you’re communicating with me. I intentionally limit the number of clients I take on so each one receives my best.

PERSONAL ATTENTION

I’ve. lived, worked, raised my family, and served in this community for nearly 20 years. My knowledge comes from being part of the area.

LOCAL CONNECTION

Beyond Real Estate

Lindenhurst has been home for nearly 20 years, and being involved in the community is an important part of who I am. Over the years, I’ve served with the District 41 PTO, founded a Girl Scout troop, organized the annual Lindenhurst Community Garage Sale, and worked with the Lake Villa, Lindenhurst, and Round Lake Area Chamber of Commerce, where I continue to serve in a leadership role. I’ve also been married to my high school sweetheart for 23 years, and together we’ve raised two strong, independent daughters who keep life busy and interesting. I genuinely appreciate the trust clients place in me, and I’m here to guide you with honest advice, personal service, and steady support from our first conversation through closing.

A little about my world

Three people standing outside a building with a sign that says 'UNLIMITED' and a window that says 'BOX OFFICE.' The person in the middle is a young girl wearing sports gear and holding a large trophy, with roller hockey goalie pads. The two adults on either side are smiling; the person on the left is a man in a black t-shirt and beige shorts, and the person on the right is a woman in a plaid shirt and jeans.
A smiling man and woman taking a selfie together. The woman has long dark hair and is wearing a blue jacket. The man is wearing glasses, a blue cap with red and white lettering, and a black leather jacket.
Two women sitting in the front seats of a vehicle, smiling at the camera. The woman on the left has long, wavy brown hair and wears a black jacket, while the woman on the right has curly red hair, glasses, and wears a blue jacket with a tan collar. The background shows a parking lot through the vehicle's windows.
