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.

🍂 Get Your Home Ready for Fall! 🏠🍁

As the leaves start to change and the air turns crisper, it’s time to prepare your home for the cozy season ahead. Here are some essential tips to get your home fall-ready:

1️⃣ Declutter and Deep Clean: Before you start decorating for fall, take the opportunity to declutter and deep clean your space. Clear out any summer items or unnecessary clutter to create a fresh and organized environment.

2️⃣ Cozy Up Your Living Spaces: Add warm and inviting touches to your living spaces. Swap out lightweight summer fabrics for cozy blankets and pillows in rich autumn hues. Consider incorporating seasonal decorations like pumpkins, fall wreaths, and scented candles for an extra touch of coziness.

3️⃣ Check Your Heating System: As temperatures drop, ensure your heating system is ready to keep you warm and comfortable. Schedule a professional inspection to clean or replace filters, check for any issues, and ensure optimal performance.

4️⃣ Inspect and Clean Gutters: Falling leaves can clog gutters and lead to water damage. Take the time to inspect and clean your gutters, removing any debris to prevent potential problems as the rainy season approaches.

5️⃣ Seal Drafts and Insulate: Keep the chill out and save on energy costs by sealing any drafts around windows and doors. Add weatherstripping or caulking where needed, and consider insulating your home further with draft stoppers or window insulation film.

6️⃣ Prepare Your Garden: Prepare your garden for the colder months by trimming back plants, removing dead foliage, and planting fall flowers or bulbs for a burst of color. It’s also a great time to fertilize the lawn and apply mulch to protect plants.

7️⃣ Test Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detectors: With the increased use of heaters and fireplaces, it’s crucial to ensure your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are in proper working condition. Test them and replace batteries if needed.

Get ready to embrace the beauty and comfort of the fall season by following these simple steps. Enjoy the cozy atmosphere and make lasting memories in your autumn-ready home! 🍂✨

Specialties: Buyer's Agent, Listing Agent, Staging, Interior Design

As a third-generation resident of Glen Ellyn, there are a few agents who are familiar with our real estate climate as much as I am. I first endeavored into this industry as a full-time assistant to two top agents in the Real Estate Industry for 4 years before obtaining my real estate license over 5 years ago. I’ve worked my way through our industry, learning all of the ins and outs, and gaining the skillset needed to ensure my clients always get the best delegation in the process of buying and selling. I’ve had the pleasure of getting to experience the full gamut of real estate, both residential and commercial. Through years of education and marketing training, I’ve been able to build a customized portfolio of services for each and every client. Ensuring they get the best of my skills, but in a way that fits their personal real estate needs. It has been both an honor and pleasure getting to work with the wonderful residents of Glen Ellyn. Both in getting to know them on a personal level, and assisting them with their professional needs when it comes to the sale and purchase of their home. My Family plans to make Glen Ellyn home for life!

I’d love to get to know you and your real estate needs to ensure you get the best of the best within the industry.
