A Few Quick Questions for Melanie

What’s your favorite part of the listing process?

Once the photos come in, I sit down with a cup of coffee (or glass of wine, depending on the time of day!), & open my laptop to craft the home’s marketing. I absolutely love writing & storytelling, so creating the listing description is far & away my favorite step.

What’s your favorite part of the purchase process?

I love that moment when I can let my clients know that the sellers have accepted their offer! Cue joy, cheers, & all the excited feelings!

Tell us about your home!

I live in my dream home in Lincoln Park. The day my husband & I toured it, we raced back to our condo to write our offer, & we were under contract by that evening. We live in a one-of-a-kind vintage duplex with so much charm, space, & sunlight. I never want to move!

What does your perfect Saturday look like?

Starting the day with a family walk around our neighborhood, then off to show one of my gorgeous listings! My perfect Saturday ends with a date night at Le Colonial (we must order the chilled shrimp rolls!) & maybe a nightcap at Sparrow. 

How would your clients describe you?

Knowledgable, thorough, & willing to go the extra mile!
