A Meaningful Return to Lincoln Park
"There are some real estate transactions that feel effortless and enjoyable from initial meeting through closing. This was one of them."
They often stem from personal introductions from trusted clients or colleagues. Our friend and fellow @properties CHRISTIE’S collaborator Maureen McCarthy introduced us to this wonderful couple. She had recently sold their family home in Glenn Ellyn when they decided to return to the city life they love after raising their family in the suburbs. We have had the pleasure of working with several other couples pursuing a similar path.
A beautiful Dayton Street home in a premier location suited them perfectly and we moved decisively to contract. From there, our team coordinated access and services through our curated network of painters, flooring specialists, plumbers and landscapers. A picture-perfect home ready for the holidays and a successful collaboration rooted in trust.
35 to 50 percent of our clients are making similar lifestyle changes. Moving from the suburbs, right-sizing or seeking a refined city base. By choosing city living, they’re prioritizing experiences, convenience and community over the demands of suburban homeownership.
These transitions are deeply personal and we’re grateful to guide them with intention. Our concierge approach means every detail is handled thoughtfully and every relationship is personal. Clients feel seen, heard and cared for–from our first meeting to long after closing.
As more clients look to simplify without compromise, we’re seeing growing demand for single-level, four-bedroom homes in boutique elevator buildings with two parking spaces. A need we’re actively addressing alongside our developer partners.
We welcome the opportunity to be your valued resource in Lincoln Park and across the city. Our door is open for you and your family and friends.
