Sarah Silva
Vice President Real Estate Advisory at JLL
Speaker

Profile

Sarah Silva is a Vice President at JLL, advising corporate clients on portfolio management and site selection locally and nationally. She began her career on the ownership and development side of commercial real estate — learning first-hand how landlords underwrite, structure, and create value in a deal. Today, she puts that insider perspective to work exclusively for office users, representing some of Chicago's most dynamic companies — from high-growth start-ups to Fortune 500 names.


Sarah leads an all-female team built on a simple belief: clients deserve a true advisor, not just a broker. She brings a rare blend of transparency and fresh perspective to every deal, with one goal — saving her clients time and money while delivering results.
