With a decade of dedication to multiple facets of the real estate industry, Michelle Chicago brings a dynamic combination of education and business savvy to her work. Before real estate, Chicago worked in international logistics. In this capacity, she often found herself providing less-than-favorable news to clients. She realized she wanted to contribute to the world more positively and gravitated to real estate because of the happiness the industry often provides. Chicago holds an undergraduate degree in business management, and her combined corporate experience and education allow her to navigate difficult situations and negotiations with ease, as noted by her clients.
Whether she’s working with buyers or sellers, investors or landlords, Chicago possesses experience in a vast array of transaction types — from land to both commercial and residential real estate. Serving the city of Chicago and its surrounding suburbs, she provides personalized expertise as she, herself, has lived and done business in Chicago for many years. Her style is best characterized by straightforward communication and rapid response time. Still, she takes care to build relationships with her clients and other industry professionals. As a result, she maintains a large network that facilitates her business and increases the quality and flow of her client interactions, further underscoring her industry prowess.
Chicago’s accomplishments over the last year include successful negotiations in multiple challenging deals and converting a longtime multifamily rental unit into a sales listing. She is an Accredited Residential Manager and member of the Residential Real Estate Council with the Institute of Real Estate Management. She also serves as the Jefferson Park chapter leader for Women Entrepreneur Secrets of Success. An avid animal lover who purchased a beautiful home for her own beloved dog, Chicago gives charitably to the PAWS Chicago adoption and medical centers. Additionally, she enjoys being present for family and friends, and gives back to her community through coat and food drives. She also has a passion for connecting people through networking and educating them on unique resources available.
