Luxury real estate professional and single mother of three, Merissa Alexander, is once again setting a new standard in Chicago’s property market. The 35-year-old, a prominent figure in the industry, has achieved over $10 million in closed real estate deals during her impressive 7-year career. 

Born and raised in Chicago’s Eastside to Jamaican immigrant parents, she is now elevating the client experience across the city by launching an exclusive VIP Luxury Car Service that offers white-glove transportation to all her clients, regardless of their financial status or history.

A young Eastside mother with big dreams, she has become a respected agent in Chicago, a testament to her perseverance and high standards. She attributes her success to her unwavering dedication, a supportive community, the strong Jamaican work ethic from her parents, and the daily inspiration from her three children.

Alexander’s commitment to an unparalleled client journey is evident in the VIP Experience Initiative, which centers on a premium black-car service. This luxurious core component is designed to fundamentally elevate the home-buying and selling process, transforming it from a stressful ordeal into a convenient and enjoyable experience.

This exclusive service guarantees clients professional, first-class transportation for every critical phase of their real estate transaction. This includes seamless rides to property showings, final closings, and all necessary appointments. It’s designed to optimize the client’s time, conserve their energy, and allow them to maintain focus on important property decisions.

“Every client is a VIP — not just the top-tier or luxury clients,” Alexander told The Phoenix Newspaper. “Whether you’re buying your first condo or selling a multimillion-dollar estate, you deserve to feel important, comfortable, and truly taken care of.”

Merissa’s personal motto is, “Treat every client like the kings and queens they are,” and she embodies this by treating every client as royalty. This exceptional service starts the moment an appointment is booked. 

Unlike many “VIP programs” only for high-net-worth clients, her initiative is intentionally designed to benefit everyone: first-time homebuyers, sellers at any price point, investors, relocating families, and both returning and referral clients.

Merissa Alexander’s success is rooted in her deep commitment to her clients, a comprehensive approach to real estate, and genuine gratitude for their business. Her stellar reputation in Chicago’s real estate community is built on extensive market knowledge, effective negotiation skills, and a personable demeanor. 

Notably, before joining Coldwell Realty, she was recognized as the Top Earner of the Year at Berkshire Hathaway.

Alexander, a Chicago State University graduate, has achieved notable success, including recognition as a Million-Dollar Agent with Berkshire Hathaway and Top Office Producer for Baird & Warner in 2021. Her accomplishments have been highlighted in publications such as Sheen Magazine and Crain’s Chicago Business. 

Additionally, she demonstrated her commitment to community empowerment by hosting the popular event “Let’s Talk Credit,” which educated Chicago residents on financial literacy and the homebuying process.

The introduction of her VIP Experience Initiative, particularly the signature Luxury Black Car Service, underscores her philosophy that real estate transcends mere transactions. For her, it’s fundamentally about fostering strong relationships, prioritizing people, and enhancing every step of the client experience.
