Martin Vehlow with Jameson Sotheby's International Realty

About Us

Based in Wauconda, Martin Vehlow is a trusted real estate advisor serving buyers throughout Chicago’s northwest suburbs, specializing in Lake and McHenry Counties, and northern Cook County.

A lifelong Lake County resident, Martin brings deep local insight to every client relationship — from understanding neighborhood values and school districts to recreational lifestyles like lake living, boating, and outdoor activities he personally enjoys.

He entered real estate after leaving the corporate IT world, driven by a desire to help people more meaningfully, spend more time with family, and provide a higher level of service than he had personally experienced as a consumer.

What truly sets Martin apart is his calm, kind, and educational approach paired with genuine advocacy for his clients. He believes buyers deserve honesty, prompt communication, and an agent who puts relationships ahead of transactions.

Known for his integrity and responsiveness, Martin tells clients the truth — even when it means walking away from a deal that seems appealing but actually isn’t right.

His goal is not simply to close homes, but to help people make confident decisions that support their long-term happiness and success.

"Martin was fantastic throughout our homebuying process! His insight was invaluable in helping us choose and purchase a home. We would absolutely use him again and can’t recommend his services enough!" -Julie Spriester
