Some buyers and sellers have the luxury of time. Other buyers find the right property in a weekend and then have THREE days to contractually get their home on the market! MeganHagans, a broker I’ve long admired, sent me her incredible clients who wanted to bid farewell to their cute Portage Park home, and purchase in the suburbs. After getting them under contract with the help of Elizabeth Hattan Simoni out of Algonquin office, we had a few days to go beast mode on their sale. It was a team effort decluttering, touching up paint (the kids each got $5, a magic eraser, and instructions from me to go to town on scuffs)…I brought in my trusty strategic staging items, hung artwork…and forgot to take before and afters. When kids and pets are involved, along with specific closing needs and a target price…staging, marketing, pricing, and showings all have go to plan. And of course it did 😉. Their home sold for 115% of list price with their exact closing needs. So thrilled for all involved. Thanks to Peter Kozera for your incredible work on the buy side, and my trusted partners Devontae Brooks and Thakrar and Associates for always bringing it home. ❤️🏠❤️

I had staged all morning with my assistant Leroy Folsom before photos, and decided to jump in and give an intro, Birkenstocks and all 😆 This one was fun. I love when careful planning and perfect ex*****on create above and beyond results. Give me an impossible timeline and watch me WERK. My clients unexpectedly found their dream house in the suburbs, and we locked that down with a home sale contingency. That meant we were contractually obligated to be on the market within five days, and had about 48 hours to get things ready for photos and video. I brought in all my secret weapon staging items with my trusty assistant :) My clients went to town tidying up (with 3 kids and 3 pets!), we shot marketing materials on a Friday, went on the private network Saturday, hosted over 20 groups Sunday, received 5 offers overnight and sealed the perfect deal with a family looking for their next chapter. 5350 Sunnyside is under contract!

When I received this email informing me that I joined the "Top 500", I thought it was spam. And had to clarify that "wait...this means that I'm in the top 500 of all the realtors in all of Chicago?!?" And what do ya know? It's true.

It almost doesn't seem real. But what IS real is that I love this job. I want to excel, want to do my best, and be in the tippy top...not just in terms of stats and numbers, but because of how I execute the job.

At a business event last week I was reminded that the general public hates realtors. We are on the bottom of the totem pole when it comes to trust. My hope is that I've earned this spot and continue to remain in this position because I've done my very best, put my clients first, treated their purchase with the same consideration as I would my own, and earned their trust.

So grateful for all my real estate partners and vendors, incredible clients, and support from friends and family. I may not have figured out how to have any work/life balance with this career, but I do know that I wouldn't want to be doing anything else. To all the people who've trusted me to help them find (or sell) Home...I thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Nothing makes me happier than when it all works out. This conversation started over a year ago...when I met the buyers who were patiently wanting something unique, in a specific neighborhood, to make a dream reality. When neighborhood chatter let them know an opportunity was possibly on the horizon, we toured while still off-market, strategized, prepared and were compulsively waiting to submit a winning offer. Within hours of the property going live, we presented. A day later, I had a countersigned contract in my inbox. I am so excited to see what happens to this glorious, handsome, massive vintage home…and filled with gratitude to have had the privilege of seeing this one to the finish line. Congrats M and T!

It's an extremely challenging market out there, for both buyers facing intense competition and renters facing steep increases in rent. My advice? Find opportunities like this: 3121 N. Belle Plaine Unit 2N. An adorable 2 bedroom 2 bath condo with in-unit laundry, a dedicated dining area, primary suite, one parking spot, and extra storage...where all major mechanicals and appliances are 1-3 years, and located in a rapidly growing neighborhood, just west of Lincoln square and blocks to Horner Park (and beloved spots like Miko's Italian Ice and Somethin' Sweet Donuts 🥰). For $375,000 you can get your foot in the door of home ownership, gain equity, and eventually rent out or sell.

While it is a seller's market in Chicago, it can vary neighborhood to neighborhood and this property had a few logistical challenges to overcome in order to find just the right buyer. Staging, list price, marketing and networking are always crucial to creating success. Once our wonderful seller got on board with a data driven pricing strategy, this condo was immediately under contract. Congratulations to all!
