Ella Gatermann
Real Estate Advisor
Just like Engel & Völkers, I was born in Hamburg, Germany, where I lived for the first six years of my life. That experience shaped my global perspective, strong international connections, and fluency in German. Today, I live in Chicago’s Lincoln Park and love the energy and vibrancy of the neighborhood.
I’m passionate about real estate because of the people. It’s about building meaningful relationships, learning from every experience, and helping clients reach important milestones. I focus on creating supportive, positive connections built on trust, communication, and collaboration—key to delivering strong results and long-term success. With a background in brand strategy and communication, I market properties thoughtfully and guide clients with clarity and intention.
I chose Engel & Völkers because its global presence and German roots connect to my upbringing, and its supportive culture has strengthened my confidence. Each day, I’m driven to build a successful business and create my own path forward.
