FRANK SCALETTA

Real Estate Agent

Interdome Realty

Real estate was a career Frank Scaletta had always

thought about and knew he had a passion for, but he

actually worked in a different field: payroll. It wasn’t

until he found himself at a crossroads in his career, not

wanting to take a promotion, that he finally decided to

take a different path.

While working a full-time job with his third child on

the way, Scaletta, a real estate agent with Interdome

Realty, jumped into the industry in the middle of the

Great Recession. “I fell in love with it right away,” he says,

noting he enjoyed working with families, investors and

individuals. “As my production started to increase, I went

full time.” To him, real estate is not a job, but a lifestyle.

Ten years later, Scaletta is happily assisting a variety

of buyers and sellers in Chicago and the suburbs,

including first-time buyers, investors, flippers, nonprofit

organizations and commercial clients. For three

consecutive years, he has been named a Top Producer by

the Chicago Association of Realtors.

“Being a good listener is the key to being successful,”

he says. “I try to step back and really listen to what the

client is saying. There are times they do not know how to

articulate it, and that is when you have to know how to

ask the right questions.”

As a first-generation American, Scaletta knows the

value of hard work and determination, a work ethic he put

to use recently while assisting a nonprofit organization

in purchasing its first property after renting for more than

two decades. “There was really nothing on the market

that would fit their needs,” he says. “I decided to search

canceled listings. Then, I did find one, and after a lot

of phone calls and persistence, we were able to put

together the transaction.”

His family is why he does what he does. The highlight

of his life is traveling with them, hosting parties, and

spending time with extended family and friends. To give

back, he volunteers as a youth soccer coach for the

Thunder Soccer Club. “My passion for helping others

live out their American dream is second nature to me,”

he says. “I’m proud to be from Chicago. That’s why I live,

work and raise my family here.”
