MEREL BLACK RESIDENTIAL

We’re Jason and Josh—longtime North Shore residents, dads, and local real estate pros who believe in doing business the neighborly way. With 20+ years of experience, we bring together sharp market insight, creative marketing strategies, and a genuine commitment to serving our community. Our approach is simple: treat every client like a neighbor and every transaction like it matters...because it does. Whether you’re selling a home filled with memories or searching for the perfect place to make new ones, we guide you with patience, honesty, and a steady hand throughout the entire process.

Jason’s background in education brings clarity, precision, and strategy to every deal, while Josh’s deep roots in Chicagoland and marketing expertise ensure your home is seen and valued. We understand that real estate is personal, not just transactional, and that’s why we take the time to learn what matters most to you. With us, you’ll get more than expert advice, you’ll get a team that listens, communicates clearly, and works tirelessly to make your journey smooth and successful. From first consultation to final closing, we’re here to help you move forward with confidence.
