Fast Home Sales with a Personal Touch - Every Sold Sign Tells a Story

Welcome to the world where selling your home doesn’t have to be a headache! If you’re feeling overwhelmed by the complexities of the real estate market – from uncertain market conditions and painstakingly slow processes to the fear of not getting your home’s true value – you’re not alone. These hurdles can turn the dream of selling your home into a daunting task.

That’s where I come in. Take a look at my history of past sales and see how I’ve turned each selling challenge into a success story. Leveraging my meticulous attention to detail, a skill I sharpened in my almost-pediatrician days, I tackle each aspect of the selling process with precision and care. My approach is not just about transactions; it’s about building lifelong friendships and ensuring a smooth, fast sale of your home. Let’s partner together to overcome these hurdles and celebrate your successful sale. 🏡🎉

What Sets My Sales Apart?

  1. It's All About the Details: Details make the difference when it comes to attracting offers. I identify those unique nooks and crannies in your home that buyers will fall in love with. It's not just about listing your property; it's about storytelling that turns 'For Sale' into 'Sold.'
  2. The Art of the Deal: When it comes to selling your home, you don't just want offers—you want offers you can't refuse. With negotiating as my middle name (well, metaphorically speaking), I work tirelessly to ensure you get a deal that's as impressive as your home.
  3. Beyond Closing Time: Our friendship doesn't end when the deal is sealed. From recommending local gems to attending the quirkiest Chicago street fests, I’m your go-to guide for life post-purchase or sale.

So go ahead, scroll down and take a peek at the homes that have changed hands and the lives that have been transformed. Each sale is a chapter in the broader, beautiful narrative of our community.

Across the living room is the "bedroom wing" with 3 nice-sized bedrooms and the full bath (new subway tile tub / shower insert just installed this week!) The icing on the cake: the screened porch off the back of the kitchen that connects to the large fenced yard, complete with a firepit area and water feature. Front driveway for EZ grocery unloading PLUS 2-car detached garage on the side of the lot, so no worries about digging out your car in winter! Convenient location close to schools, parks (including a skate park a couple of blocks away), shops, dining, park district facilities, and easy commuting via nearby expressways (or it's only a 10 min drive to either Itasca or Wood Dale Metra station). Plenty of time to enjoy summer in your new home & dream backyard! (I forgot to mention the LOW taxes!! Only $4,350 for 2020 with the homeowner exemption!)

Three glorious floors of luxe yet comfortable living space! Lower level flexible floorplan with HIGH ceilings make it the ideal layout for a multi-generational or nanny set up, too. This "6 years new" home, clocking in at 3,705 sq ft across 3 levels, ticks all the boxes! Luxurious + modern, the side entrance allows for a stunning living / dining room (with 11 ft ceilings) that spans the width of the home (23 feet) and gets bathed in morning sunshine from the east-facing oversized windows, fitted with custom Somfy automated blinds. The wide plank solid hardwood floors under foot seamlessly flow past the stairway and 1/2 bath into the hub of the home, the open family room + incredible gourmet kitchen - complete with a 10 foot long quartz-topped island (roomy seating for 5+), beautiful two-toned grey shaker style cabinets that run all the way up to the 11 ft ceilings, glass tile backsplash, and stainless appliances including French door fridge, microwave built into the island, dishwasher, gas range + range hood, along with an under-the-counter beverage fridge. Sliding glass doors take you right out to the oasis of a backyard, but we'll get to that in a minute... First let's talk about the primary suite that this owner had completely re-done in 2021 with no expenses spared, to create a HUGE 8x21 ft walk-in closet with built-in dressers, shelves, hanging rods, purse displays, and more - but the showpiece is the truly spa-like private bathroom: large-scale Rialto Grand polished porcelain tiles surround the deep jetted soaking tub & walk-in shower, floor to ceiling. The other 1/2 of the 2nd floor is comprised of two identical sized bedrooms, hall bath, and laundry room. But wait... There's even more! The full finished basement adds another 1,235 sq ft of living space complete with a family room / media room / play room, another one or TWO bedrooms (one currently set up as home gym with waterproof LVP flooring), another full bathroom, hook-ups for a 2nd laundry area in case you need it, and plentiful storage. Back outside - seamless indoor-outdoor summers can be in your future here with a large deck, great yard space, oversized 3 car garage, all fenced in (there's even a graveled dog run along the side of the house). Oak Park-adjacent = more affordable, but within reach of so many of the area's amenities! EZ access to Blue Line CTA, I-290, Roosevelt Rd dining, shops, nightlife, and all the near west suburbs has to offer. Move right in and s t r e t c h out in style!

*Offers Due Sat 6/19 @ 7pm* Rare find in Montclare: brick bungalow with 2nd floor in-law suite! Located on a residential block just northeast of Grand & Oak Park Ave, this well maintained home has been in the same family for decades and provides so many options and flexibility for its new owner to use it for related / multi-generational living or to reconfigure the 2nd floor into a more traditional single family layout. The 1st floor lives like a spacious bungalow with a massive 12x28 "front room" that should be formal living & dining areas, directly behind which is the eat-in kitchen (sorry, the seller is attached to the fridge and it will be going with him) - while a great space, it could use some freshening / lightening up and potentially could even be opened into the front room while you're at it. A full bath and two bedrooms complete the main floor, one of which has a tandem bonus room perfect for... office? walk-in closet? play room? You decide! The 2nd floor apartment is delightfully sunny and cozy with an eat-in kitchen at the back, living room at the front, and two bedrooms & full bath dormered in between. The basement adds an add'l 1,177 sq feet of usable space and was the scene of some wild neighborhood parties in its hey day with a retro bar and wide open rec room along with laundry, workshop, storage, and half bath (apparently there's shower plumbing roughed in but owners never completed that project). Out back you'll find a nice sized yard and detached garage with screened patio, perfect for relaxing and entertaining. Well loved, but it's time for this family to move closer to the grandkids, which means it's your opportunity! In great shape but sold as-is. Don't miss the 3D tour!
