about Nathan
Nathan Santana is a real estate broker with a passion for helping people find their perfect home—and yes, he still tears up a little at real estate movie montages, which is basically why he got into this business in the first place. It wasn't just a career choice, it was destiny (or at least a really compelling Netflix subplot). For Nathan, it's not just about finding properties—it's about helping families and individuals discover a place where they can truly feel comfortable, at home, and maybe finally stop asking him "but is the neighborhood good though?"
As a native of Chicago, Nathan brings unparalleled local expertise—he knows the neighborhoods, the hidden gems, and exactly which block has the best tacos at 2am. This lets him match clients with properties that actually fit their lives, not just their Pinterest boards. He's punctual, flexible, and always available, which in real estate terms basically makes him a unicorn. Whether you're hunting for the ideal family home, an investment property, or a stylish space to call your own, Nathan makes the whole process feel less like a stressful life event and more like an oddly fun scavenger hunt.
Beyond real estate, Nathan is a partner in Ol' Reliable Property Management, where he helps make sure properties are actually managed well and not just "well, someone owns it, I guess." He's also spent five years trading futures, which taught him how to make fast decisions under pressure—handy both in the market and when a client calls at 11pm about a leaky faucet. His HVAC background means he can casually diagnose a broken thermostat mid-showing, which is either impressive or slightly concerning depending on how you look at it. And his time repping Cannaclear in Santa Rosa, California sharpened his people skills to the point where he could probably sell a submarine to a claustrophobe.
Outside of work, Nathan's life is run by his two golden doodles, who provide roughly 90% of his daily entertainment and 100% of the dog hair in his car. He's also a former semi-pro CSGO player, so if you need someone who can both close a deal and clutch a 1v5, he's your guy. Culinarily adventurous, his favorite dish is sancocho, a traditional soup that involves pig's feet and zero regrets.
