Katherine Karvelas

Katherine Karvelas is the creator of The Real Estate Authority Method™ and a top 1% real estate broker nationwide and in Chicagoland, known for a data-driven, relationship-led, results-obsessed approach to building a high-performance real estate business.

In under five years, her methodology propelled her to record-setting deals in one of the most competitive markets in the country. She built her success not by chasing trends or relying on scripted systems, but through strategic thinking, disciplined execution, and an unwavering belief in personal accountability. Katherine’s philosophy is simple: success is built, not handed out, and those willing to take ownership will always rise.

Katherine was drawn to real estate by a desire for autonomy and alignment. She believed deeply in creating a career that offered control over time, income, and trajectory, while allowing room for ambition, creativity, and meaningful connection. Today, her business reflects that vision, one defined by elevated client experiences, trusted relationships, philanthropic leadership, and the freedom to design work around purpose rather than permission.

Her work and listings have been featured in Crain’s Chicago Business, MSNBC, The New York Times, The Real Deal, Hinsdale Living, Chicago Agent Magazine, and Chicago Magazine, and she is widely respected for helping agents think more strategically, communicate with confidence, and operate at a higher professional standard.

Through The Real Estate Authority Method™, Katherine teaches driven professionals how to stop playing small, leverage their existing strengths, and build a business that reflects both who they are and where they intend to go.

Her message is clear: excellence is intentional, authority is earned, and your next level is built by design, not chance.

THIS METHOD EXISTS BECAUSE THE INDUSTRY IS BROKEN

 

  • Capable professionals are encouraged to do more instead of positioning themselves better. More noise. More outreach. More effort with less leverage.
  • The result is an industry where many agents work relentlessly yet remain interchangeable in the eyes of clients.
  • The Real Estate Authority Playbook replaces hustle with structure, clarity, and authority so your expertise is recognized, your time is respected, and your work produces measurable results.

 MOST AGENTS DON’T FAIL FROM A LACK OF TALENT THEY FAIL FROM A LACK OF POSITIONING 

The industry rewards visibility and volume, not leadership or discernment. Most agents are taught how to stay busy, not how to be chosen.

The Real Estate Authority Playbook is for professionals who are done chasing, done blending in, and done relying on effort alone to drive results.

This framework teaches you how to position yourself as the obvious choice so your presence carries weight and your conversations convert naturally.

“Katherine doesn’t teach tactics. She teaches positioning. This playbook forces you to elevate how you show up, how you follow up, and how you negotiate. It raises the standard.”

— Paula L., Managing Broker

“The negotiation section alone is worth the investment. The appraisal reconsideration strategy is something most agents never learn, and it can protect thousands in client equity.”

— Michael M., Broker

“This is the first real estate guide I’ve read that focuses on authority instead of hustle. It’s structured, strategic, and immediately actionable.”

— Hari P., Broker

“The open house system completely reframed how I approach client acquisition. It’s no longer an event — it’s a conversion strategy.”

— Devin T. Team Lead

“What stands out most is the professionalism. This reads like an executive operating manual, not internet advice.”

— Natalia I., Broker
