I graduated from NYU Tisch School of the Arts with honors. Following college I had a successful run in film and television as a Set Decorator. Then, 16 years ago I started my own design company, focusing on the renovation of homes, from there I started my career in Real Estate. Both earlier careers prepped me to excel when it comes to client expectations and service. I have a strong work ethic, and that is what what brings success to every transaction. I have also hired team members who share this work ethic and value client relationships. As one of Chicago's top producing brokers I understand market conditions and trends that can directly affect the sale or purchase of your home. I offer valuable insights to both buyers and sellers that can save money and headaches! *As a buyer, you expect the best value and as a seller you want the best price. Both parties expect a smooth transaction. * *I DELIVER*: My approach is simple - I am market savvy, diligent and focused on the goals of my clients. I work until the job is done, understanding that complete client satisfaction is most important. Because of this, I have built a 100% referral based business. My clients notice and appreciate my enthusiasm then refer their friends and family and co-workers. *BUYERS:* I like to give my buyers a complete market overview while listening to what they want. I work tirelessly with buyers finding the right home. Not only a home they love, but a home that will be a solid investment in the years to come. As a top producer, I am privy to certain properties before they hit the market, giving my clients a better opportunity to find something perfect for their needs. I keep in touch after the closing with pertinent information on how to keep your taxes lower and home repair. Home buying can be scary whether it is your first home or your fifth, I like to make it as easy on my clients as possible. Since beginning my Real Estate career I have had multiple buyer's return to me to sell and buy again. *SELLERS*: As a seller's agent I stand with you during what can be a very emotional process. I'm a seasoned agent with a history of positive results and a long list of satisfied clients who are happy to talk about their experience. I position my seller's property so it competes and wins in this market. The Alley Ballard Team has an impressive track record of 28 average days on market and list price to sale price is 101.6%. We beat the average by 97 days on market and get seller's 8% more at the time of sale. In fact many of our listings go into multiple offer and sell over asking, that is the 101.6% list price to sale price you see above. In order to accomplish this I stay active knowing current market conditions and closed sales. This maximizes your profit while minimizing your sale time. In any market it's critical to set your property apart from the rest so you'll want an agent with creative ideas and distinctive marketing materials. With a background in photography and interior design, I can give tips on staging your home to sell. The process will be painless and profitable, that's my goal.
