Jackie Potocki
Jackie has been a part of Lincoln-Way community since her family moved here in 1973. She is a graduate of Lincoln-Way Central High School. After high school, she attended Columbia College in Chicago. I decided to plant my roots back home where she grew up in New Lenox. She very proudly own and operate Ranch Frosties Ice Cream Shop in New Lenox since 2018.
She is an active member of the New Lenox Chamber of Commerce and the Lincoln-Way Area Businesswomen’s Organization of which she currently serve as the LWABWO secretary. She is also an active member of the Women’s Auxiliary with the VFW Post 9545 in New Lenox. She enjoys giving back and investing whatever she can into our amazing community.
Prior to becoming an agent, she worked over 25 years in the construction industry which is a key asset to her Real Estate career providing me with a keen eye on the core mechanics of a property. This serves as a sound support to her clients when making the decision on the perfect home. Adding to her work experience, she also worked as a loan officer providing her with valuable insight to her clients as they are maneuvering through the due process of the home buying experience.
In her personal life, she is engaged to my best friend John. They share a blended family of six children, and a beautiful granddaughter too! In their family time, they enjoy getting involved with charitable events and giving back to their community!

Hello! I am a local Lincoln-Way area resident and Realtor/owner at Exceptional Living Realty specializing in the sale of new and existing homes within Manhattan, New Lenox, Frankfort and Mokena to name a few. I have spent all of my adult years as a Realtor helping first time homebuyers, seasoned buyers & sellers, and investors, too. With over 15 years of experience, I am known for my attention to detail, stellar customer service and consistent communication. I work hard to earn my clients trust and future referrals.
I’m a graduate of Lockport High School and have a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration from Augustana College. I am married to a police officer and am a mom of two busy kids. I joined LWABWO in 2020 and am proud to be a part of this group! I’ve enjoyed getting to know and network with other local women and business owners. This group does a phenomenal job at raising funds to support local young women through scholarship opportunities. I’ve had the pleasure of being the group’s Treasurer for 2 years and I look forward to my term as Secretary and serving on the Board of LWABWO again. In my spare time, I enjoy travelling with my family, watching movies, attending concerts and spending time with family and friends. I hope you’ll join us at a meeting someday. There’s always room for more!
