Real Estate Advisor | License ID: 475180654

I am a citizen of the world! I was born and raised in Argentina, moved to Boston to get my MBA in Finance from Sawyer School of Management at Suffolk University, married a Frenchman, and then settled in Chicago’s Lincoln Park neighborhood where I have lived with my family for many years. In our home, we speak Spanish, French and English and through business, volunteer work and our children’s school, we are very active in the Latin American and European communities here in Chicago.

Having relocated several times including overseas, I gained a deep understanding of what it takes to make a successful move into a new community. My experience has had a profound impact on how I support my clients in their journey to find a home. I am passionate about creating, cultivating and nurturing new relationships and naturally motivated to help others.

I started my career working in international business for a large industrial group in Buenos Aries. After receiving my MBA, I worked in marketing and product strategy for Nuveen, a global asset management firm. I later became their Vice President for Global Business Development responsible for developing and managing their business in Latin America as well as their international client segment in the US. While I truly enjoyed my 14-year career with Nuveen, the frequent international travel became a challenge for my growing family.

As an advisor with Engel & Völkers Chicago, I bring together my passion for supporting others with my global experience. Well known as a top residential brokerage firm in both South America and Europe, Engel & Völkers allows me to provide my real estate clients with the same caliber of service that is standard in the international business arena. It also provides a platform to collaborate with advisors all over the world, educating them about all that Chicago has to offer.

Giving back is one of my core values. I am honored to have recently been re-appointed Trustee of the Illinois State Board of Investments. I am also a Treasurer at Friends of Lincoln, a fundraising arm of Lincoln Elementary School. In addition, I served on the Board of Directors of Erie Neighborhood House and was a member of the Illinois Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and the French American Chamber of Commerce.

My husband and I are passionate about travel, exposing our children to our own cultures as well as new ones. I stay balanced by doing yoga as well as skiing, playing tennis, enjoying Lake Michigan and spending time with my family.

    Gisela really was a breath of fresh air: punctual, knowledgable, pro-active and pleasant. She hauled me and my family through multiple Chicago neighborhoods without complaining, listed just the right apartments and houses for us, and put a lot of effort in getting things done behind the scenes. If you need a good real estate agent and 'unburdener': look no further!

  • Carine Roudil
    I could not be happier with our partnership with Gisela to rent our property in Chicago. Because of her knowledge of the market, Gisela successfully advised us on the right price point for the rent, pre-selected the right profile for potential tenants resulting in closing after one single showing! It does not get better than that. As a working mom of 2 kids, I was so glad I did not have to keep the house showing ready for weeks. She demonstrated great professionalism during the entire process and was very pleasant to work with. Communication was very easy too with prompt responses. All in all, I will definitely work with Gisela again and I could not recommend her more. Her clients are in great hands!
  • Francis Perrin
    Working with Gisela Atlan was an absolute pleasure! Her efficiency and sharp attention to detail made the process of finding tenants for our 3 bedroom condo in Lincoln Park, Chicago, a breeze. Gisela not only successfully negotiated a lease agreement that satisfied both parties but also ensured a seamless experience from start to finish. I highly recommend Gisela to anyone seeking a dedicated and effective real estate broker. She truly goes above and beyond for her clients!
