Real estate lesson: it’s never over until it’s over. 👀

My buyer and I had been searching for a few weeks and kept running into competition. Then we came across a home in Oak Forest marked “48 Hour Kickout” a status most buyers (and agents) assume is basically a done deal.

But instead of moving on, we got curious.

We reached out to find out what was actually going on… and learned the current buyer was having trouble closing their loan.
That was our opening.

We moved quickly, submitted a strong offer, and secured the home, without competing in multiple offers.

The takeaway?

Don’t make assumptions. Ask questions. Stay creative.
Sometimes the best opportunities are the ones everyone else overlooks.

Stopping to smell the flowers 🌺

Spring is officially waking up in Chicago. Longer days, warmer air, and that fresh energy you can feel everywhere you go.

The market is just as active. I’ve got some exciting new listings coming soon in Uptown and Lincoln Park. 👀

A little reminder to slow down, enjoy the moment, and take in the season

Work-from-home, but make it multi-functional 😮‍💨

Double height basement goals with a built-in office + playroom combo, because productivity and playtime can coexist.

Smart storage, cozy nooks, and space to actually breathe… this is how you do WFH right.

It started with a strategy.

My seller & I connected months in advance to begin to strategize a launch plan for the competitive Chicago spring market. This meant taking listing photos in the fall and closely following the market trends around the home. We gathered information to be able to make proactive data driven decisions.

Before this home ever hit the public market, we leveraged compass private exclusives and the private listing network to quietly build demand & position it competitively from day one. By the time it officially launched, the momentum was already there.

Multiple offers followed, and within one week, we were under contract, closing at 6.7% over asking.

The best part? Every detail lined up exactly with our sellers’ ideal timeline, expectations, and it resulted in a smooth stress free closing. This is what happens when you pair thoughtful strategy with data-driven ex*****on.

A soft Mollarchi post for your feed today.

There’s been a lot going on in my life, from working long hours, closings, celebrations, tears, travel, wedding planning, hanging w/ friends & family, countless Home Depot runs, house renovations, and more.

l have been trying to be more present in the small moments, which often means putting my phone down.

Trying to take a moment to slow down, pause and enjoy every moment of this phase.🤍

I am sure many of you can relate, but if you are balancing a lot, I see you.

The houses we shopped for vs. what they bought 🤯

Started the year strong, got intentional about location and must-haves. The housing market in Chicago was heating up quickly and after some shopping, my clients refined their preferences and narrowed their focus to move in ready homes. We pivoted from resale inventory to new construction. It all led to this: a brand new construction townhome in the heart of Portage Park that could not be more perfect.

Close proximity to downtown.
Move in ready.
A yard for their dog.
Plenty of space to entertain.

Congrats to my buyers on securing their new home in this competitive market!

All this for under $425,000? Where do we sign! 📝

If you’ve been looking for outdoor space, in unit laundry, parking, and almost 1500 of space, look no further than 2305 W Chicago #1, in Chicago’s Ukrainian Village.

Finding a great deal in a hot market like Chicago is hard to come by - not only does this condo check every box for the modern buyer, it could be a cash flowing property for a savvy investor.
