Michele Evangelista Real Estate

Michele Evangelista Real Estate Real Estate Broker and Certified Staging Consultant severing all of the Chicagoland area. Trust in me to transform every room into a showpiece.

I’ve found that the key to success in business is to define what truly motivates you, and embrace it as a part of your process. I myself am dedicated to helping people cultivate their optimal lifestyle. That might mean pairing a client with the perfect starter home in their ideal neighborhood, or simply helping a friend decide on a style in which to remodel their master bathroom. I find my purpose in impacting other people’s lives, through my ability to ignite their passions and inspire their dreams. One of my passions is decorating and design, and I ran my own home staging business for many years. As a Realtor, it’s my job to see that your home puts its best foot forward —from fixtures and furniture, to landscape and lighting— long before it hits the market. I know what today’s home buyer is looking for, and my creativity helps me stand out in a crowded market. I am also a third generation resident of Glen Ellyn, born and raised. I consider myself a local area expert —not simply because I know the ebb and flow of the real estate market— but because I pride myself on being an integral part of my community. I know the best places to grab a bite, and where to easily entertain your kids on a Saturday afternoon. I’ve volunteered my time at local fundraisers, been an active part of the PTA, and spent countless hours in the stands cheering on my boys’ sports teams. It's been said that while some people spend their lives looking for a beautiful place, others spend it making a place more beautiful... and I have quite literally spent a lifetime building relationships in the area. I would love the opportunity to be your local area expert, be it city or suburb. Let’s take this journey together.
