★★★★★
"Nancy and team were great professionals to work with - they are very knowledgeable and provided tons of flexibility. After she suggested some updates and prof. photos for the unit, we started receiving a high number of leads that eventually led to a two year lease! Her team also made the overall process very smooth and seamless! We definitely recommend Nancy and team to anyone needing real estate support! Thank you!"
★★★★★
"After Nancy successfully sold our condo, we entrusted her to find our family home. From start to finish, we were impressed by her recommendations surrounding financing, home inspection, and vendors once we found our new home. Nancy's expertise expands past her knowledge of real estate into potential for new homes due to her architect and design background. She truly wanted us to think about our choices, asking the right questions which helped us pinpoint our 'must-haves' vs. 'nice-to-haves'. This was extremely helpful when transitioning from a 2BR apartment to a 3 BR house. She provided an insightful comp report, adding to it her personal thoughts on the house we wanted. Once again, Nancy delivered white-glove service to a potentially stressful process. We would trust her again and again with our real estate needs"

"Nancy was great! As first time home sellers she took the time to explain the process and answer all of our questions. She was easily available via phone or email to talk through things throughout the process. She provided suggestions on ways in which we can optimize our space for photos and viewings, she even helped with staging. I cannot stress enough how much the personalized attention and support was throughout the home selling process"
★★★★★
"Nancy was available for any and all questions that I had about selling my condo unit. She was also able to put me in touch with a great painter to spruce the place up before putting it on the market. She approached any issues that came up, from condo preparation to negotiating to preparing for the closing with a positive attitude and thorough knowledge"

"Nancy’s level of service, professionalism and knowledge of the market are invaluable. I highly recommend that you partner with her to be a part of your next real estate venture! My husband and I were lucky enough to work with her on 4 transactions this last year. She handled the rental of an apartment unit and a house, sold a rental property and purchasing a new home, Nancy was so responsive and on top of everything. She will give you piece of mind and make sure everything goes smoothly."
After earning her BFA in Interior Design while living in VA, Nancy relocated to Chicago to obtain her Masters of Architecture at IIT. She is passionate about architecture and design and believes everyone should be able to find and live in their dream home.
Her background in architecture and interior design gives her an in-depth, ground-up knowledge of buildings far greater than most real estate agents. When listing a property she is able to thoroughly compare different elements between properties, allowing her to effectively and competitively price the property, thus maximizing the value for her clients from the sale.
Nancy offers her clients a comprehensive understanding of the real estate market and insight into potential opportunities and challenges when searching for a new property. Additionally, she is able to utilize her experience to provide suggestions for potential value-adds when listing your home. Whether you are looking at potential renovations prior to listing your property or at cosmetic adjustments to heighten buyer appeal, her insights are an immense asset to her clients.
Real estate allows Nancy to work with clients at a crucial moment in their life when they are in transition to a new space. This is an exciting time and she loves helping clients navigate that process, enabling them to get the maximum value from their current home and find their new dream home.
Nancy also pens a blog, Haven by Design, exploring topics relating to real estate, architecture and design, and anything else that inspires her.
