    Don’t just love where you live, love how you get there    

Simply stated, the Chicago Home Collective is our modern take on the traditional real estate team.  But at our core, we are foodies, travelers, interior designers, community enthusiasts, mothers, yogis, dreamers and feelers who strongly believe that the journey to finding a home (and in life) is just as dear as the destination, and that supporting the community around you is what makes a house a home.

Your home houses your story.

We are here to support you in that journey while celebrating the stories of the clients, businesses, and community we love along the way – making us all the Chicago Home Collective.

Casey Metz Chicago Real Estate Broker

CASEY METZ | Associate Broker

A true Chicago native, Casey grew up in the northern suburbs of Chicago. With a BS in Human Development and Family Studies from the University of Illinois and a masters in Social Work from Loyola, Casey devoted several years working as a licensed clinical social worker before getting into real estate—specializing in Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia. Counseling, caring for families in crisis, and ultimately running a non-profit Adult Day Care program for an older generation with dementia has given her a gift that truly sets her apart as a realtor: Empathy. She understands how important it is to identify stressors, and compassionately help guide clients through them during transitional periods. Her experience with conflict resolution has proven to be a huge asset in navigating real estate transactions as well.  Casey is a member of the National Association of REALTORS®, Illinois Association of REALTORS®, and Chicago Association of REALTORS®. When she’s not helping clients, you’ll most likely catch Casey and her husband walking their golden retriever on trails around Lakeview. Casey’s mission is to make a positive impact in this world by helping others; something she’s eager and willing to do for you. 

 

 

Alexa Dimperio | Associate Broker

Alexa grew up in a family of homebuilders, fully immersed in new construction. At a young age, she was tagging along with her dad to the office and putting on a hard hat while learning about contracts, the selection process, and sales projections.

Her interest in Real Estate emerged when she started developing ideas for marketing the homes her dad built.  The motivations of potential buyers and sellers were endlessly fascinating to her, which led to her passion for helping people find the perfect place to call home and build their lives.  As a Realtor, Alexa’s main goal is to create a seamless process for her clients. Her distinctive calm in the midst of chaos creates a real sense of security. And her ability to anticipate, play out different scenarios and plan ahead makes her ready to take on any challenge while finding creative solutions to even the most complex situations.

Kelly was awesome, really responsive and helpful from start to finish. This was my first time buying property, and she was very knowledgeable and was able to walk me through the entire process. She has great connections throughout the real estate industry which proved to also be very helpful. The whole experience was stress-free and I firmly believe this is due to the great work that Kelly was doing in the background on my behalf. {Read more of what our clients are saying}

Instagram post 17907949315905597 My sister kelly_e_parker has always been fearless.

It’s as if she’s not even capable of thinking something is impossible.

She grew her real estate empire chicagohomecollective on the belief that scarcity doesn’t exist.

She ONLY operates (and leads, and mothers) from a place of radical, overflowing abundance.

Two years ago she gave me this crystal (pic 2+3) that invites abundance and told me to keep it in my wallet. 

I did.

It’s taken sometime (and some soulful journaling work) but I can feel my abundance muscle getting stronger. 

1. Follow her to strengthen your abundance vibes.
2. Spend more time with people that embody the abundance mindset you want to create.
3. Trust the process.
4. Turn to your journal to speed up the process.

Instagram post 17878592417207824 You have 7 seconds, yes S-E-V-E-N seconds, to make a good first impression. 7 seconds for a buyer to decide if they are interested in your space. 7 seconds to create an impression of what your property is worth. How will you spend them? ⁣
⁣
For this seller we suggested a kitchen refresh (swipe to see those before photos!) and staining the floors.  We then added our killer virtual staging + photography and this lofty lady was snatched up for far more than it cost to make these updates.⁣
⁣
We don't care how good of a sellers market it is, we are committed to always making a good first impression. Go ahead, save this post for when you need the same CHC treatment when you're ready to sell! ⁣
