There’s no doubt that professional staging helps sell homes - but it’s not the solution 100% of the time. Depending on budget, price point, timeline, and furnishings, sometimes a thoughtful eye and some finishing touches are all that is needed.

In this recent sale, the seller had furniture he wanted to leave behind, so we added to what he had to make the home show its best. In some cases, the goal was to open up a room and make the flow feel more cohesive; in others, it was toning down some paint choices and showing off the home’s best attributes.

Happy to report that our hard work paid off and got our client a quick sale at a great price. Swipe through to see the befores and afters!

One size rarely fits all, so if you are interested in selling your home, we’re happy to walk through your home with you and help you make your best first impression…with ZERO judgement.

With all the chatter that home prices in Chicago keep rising (which is true), you might think that a 3 bedroom/2 bathroom condo that's a 6 minute walk to the beach for under 400K is no longer an option. We're happy to tell you that isn't the case!

This extra large, extra stunning, top floor home in a classic vintage building has got it all - southern exposure, in-unit laundry, a parking space (a rarity in East Rogers Park), a massive primary suite, and charm to spare.

Picture day at this oversized vintage beauty in Rogers Park! Coming soon!

COMING SOON - 3 bedroom 3.5 bath townhome in the ❤️ of Lincoln Park. The photos speak for themselves, but being a real estate agent, I need to belabor the point. She is beauty, she is grace, she is walking distance to all the LP things.

Townhomes can sometimes be aggressively vertical with a floor plan that doesn’t quite make sense, but that isn’t the case here. The first floor has an ATTACHED one car garage (sounds pretty good today, doesn’t it?), full bath, family room, office, and lovely private patio. The main floor has a large living room conducive to entertaining, separate dining area, powder room, and the kitchen of your dreams. Three bedrooms upstairs with a freshly renovated en suite primary bath, hall bath, linen closet, and skylights to chase away the winter blues.

Showings are currently happening, and the requests to view this lovely home in person are already rolling in, so reach out of this is of interest to you or a client.
