Michael LaFido, Realtor - LUXE Group It's Not The Market, It's The Marketing!

Michael LaFido is a real estate consultant and top-producing Realtor with over twenty years of experience in the real estate industry and specializing in Luxury listings as an eXp Realty agent. Michael’s marketing has been the featured cover story in Crain’s Chicago Business and highlighted in Forbes, Chicago Tribune, Mansion Global, Wall Street Journal, and FOX News Chicago Business Hour to name a few. He is also the author of the books “Luxury Listing Specialist, “Outside The Box”, and “Marketing Luxury”.

​​​​​​​Throughout his career, Michael learned the importance of high-caliber marketing versus “traditional marketing”, which has become pivotal to his success. Over the past twenty years, LaFido and his team have developed a method that takes a more comprehensive, and proactive
approach when positioning and marketing a home.

​​​​​​​Michael, the founder of the Marketing Luxury Group, assists other real estate agents and affluent homeowners by providing top-tier services including consulting, lifestyle marketing, public relations, and coaching to help agents and owners sell their luxury homes; utilizing our proven and reputable strategies. Michael has created the nationally recognized luxury designation for real estate agents which is known as Luxury Listing Specialist (LUXE). This new designation establishes an in-depth and detailed set of standards for agents that represent luxury homes and is currently offered for Continuing Education (CE) for real estate agents in Texas and Georgia. The training is based on the same principles Michael outlines in his book, “Luxury Listing Specialist” that he teaches to agents internationally.

​​​​​​​Michael was awarded the 2019 MVP (Most Valued Partner) by “Who’s Who in Luxury Real Estate” (www.LuxuryRealEstate.com)

​​​​​​​Many agents within the industry are calling Michael’s methods “The New Standard” for marketing luxury homes today.

Inventory Grows, Creating More Choices in Wheaton
This summer, Wheaton presented buyers with a welcome shift: more homes available and a steady stream of new listings, opening up a broader range of choices. Having specialized in Chicagoland’s dynamic luxury market for 25+ years, I always keep an eye on trends that empower buyers to find the perfect fit. Increased inventory means more opportunities to match each client’s vision with a property that feels like home.
