What Moves You?

What Moves You is a series featuring CHC clients we adore. It is these clients and their stories that inspire us everyday and keep us deeply passionate about what we do. Everyone has their own unique story, but at CHC we all share the collective goal of finding you that perfect home!


What moved Mila & Michael?

couch

MILA & MICHAEL: HAD EXPERTLY DESIGNED AND MAXIMIZED EVERY LAST FOOT OF THEIR BUCKTOWN CONDO TO ACCOMMODATE THEIR FAMILY OF 5, BUT THIS YEAR THEY HAD OFFICIALLY OUTGROWN THEIR SPACE. THESE CITY KIDS WERE NOT READY TO GIVE UP THE URBAN AMENITIES THEY LOVE AND WITH AN ITCH TO DESIGN THEIR OWN SPACE THEY SET THEIR INTENTIONS ON BUILDING A NEW HOME IN LOGAN SQUARE, ONE THEY COULD CONTINUE TO GROW INTO FOR YEARS TO COME.

“A humble referral from a past client who I helped with a similar transition, I was honored to help this squad sell their condo and find a new home. One that was not only located in their ideal neighborhood, but where they could also be involved in the building/design process. Throughout our time working together M & M had laser focus, a keen eye for design, all the while embracing the process with pure graciousness. 6 months, 4 Pinterest boards, countless design meetings and two closings (in one day!) later they are still smiling. As for me, I finally exhaled, took a step back and am filled with gratitude to have been trusted to guide them through this transition.”

~ Kelly

What moved Ian?

IANBANNER

IAN: NEEDING A CHANGE OF SCENERY, IAN MOVED FROM CLEVELAND TO BE IN A CITY THAT PROVIDED HIM WITH A KINETIC ENVIRONMENT, ALTHOUGH THERE MIGHT ALSO HAVE BEEN A GIRL INVOLVED! AS A CRAFT BEER LOVER, FOODIE, AND FESTIVAL ENTHUSIAST, HE WANTED TO BE IN A LOCATION THAT PROVIDED AN URBAN ENVIRONMENT, BUT ALSO GAVE HIM ACCESS TO COMMUTER FRIENDLY TRANSPORT. HE NEEDED A SPACE THAT COULD SUPPORT HIS HOMEBREWING HOBBY, HAD CLOSE BIKE ROUTES FOR HIS DAILY WORK COMMUTE, AND EASY LAKESHORE BIKE PATH ACCESS FOR HIS WEEKEND RIDES.

“Ian was a long time friend and well, now husband! Obviously helping him was quite fun but the reason I decided to feature his story is because of his unwavering commitment he had to living in a city that supported his lifestyle, and a home that fostered his core values of sustainability and minimizing his impact on the environment~ one bike commute at a time. Like all my clients, you are the people that make Chicago better and I am forever grateful that I get to be a part of making Chicago your home!”

What moved Christina?

CHRISTINA: ALTHOUGH AN AVID TRAVELER CHRISTINA FOUND HERSELF READY TO SETTLE INTO CHICAGO AND MAKE A HOME OF HER OWN. HAVING LIVED IN VARIOUS NEIGHBORHOODS THROUGHOUT THE CITY SHE KNEW LOCATION WAS KEY AND THAT A LITTLE PRIVATE OUTDOOR SPACE AN GO A LONG WAY TO MAKING HER (AND HER BELOVED PUP) FEEL AT HOME. SHE DIDN’T NEED A LOT OF SPACE OR FANCY AMENITIES, JUST HER OWN LITTLE CORNER IN THIS WORLD.

“Christina was a humbling referral from former clients who no longer lived in the area. With a precious k9 roommate and very specific criteria the pressure was on to help find her the perfect home. By purchasing a modest space she was able to achieve her goal of home ownership while still having the freedom to continue her travel adventures. I have a great deal of respect for Christina’s ability to make travel a priority, while also wanting to invest in her future by owning a home. I truly enjoyed the entire process of helping her; working with this determined independent woman was beyond inspiring.”

What moved Todd & TR?

TODDBANNER

TODD & TR: READY TO START A FAMILY, THEY NEEDED A PLACE TO CALL HOME FOR THIS NEW PHASE OF THEIR LIVES. NOT ONLY A HOME FOR THEIR NEW ADDITION, BUT ONE WHERE FAMILY AND FRIENDS COULD COME TO VISIT. KELLY FOUND THAT HOME WITH TONS OF SPACE INCLUDING A BEAUTIFUL BACKYARD. IT EVEN HAD THAT SUBURBAN FEEL THEY WANTED WHERE THEY COULD RAISE THEIR FAMILY WITHOUT HAVING TO SACRIFICE THOSE GREAT URBAN AMENITIES THEY WERE USED TO HAVING IN THE CITY.

“I was lucky to meet Todd & TR at an open house I was hosting. Soon after, they reached out for me to help them navigate the new construction home buying world. With a condo to rent out and a new home being built we had to manage a timeline that was tricky. Through it all these two were (and still are!) the most calm, collected and focused clients I have ever worked with, not to mention seriously hardworking! It was truly my pleasure to help them find the home that they could grow their family in, which they have! With a new baby boy and a Great Dane that would melt your heart, I know this family of four is in the home that was meant for them.”

What moved Jillian & Dave?

JILLIANBANNER

JILLIAN & DAVE: WHEN THE NUMBER OF NEWLY CONSTRUCTED HOMES STARTED MULTIPLYING IN CHICAGO’S WEST TOWN NEIGHBORHOOD, JILLIAN & DAVE SAW AN IMMEDIATE OPPORTUNITY TO INVEST IN THEIR FUTURE. THEY KNEW THEY DIDN’T WANT TO RENT APARTMENTS FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES. INSTEAD, OWNING A HOME WAS A DREAM THEY HAD BOTH LONG SHARED. AFTER STUDYING THE REAL-ESTATE MARKET IN THEIR FAVORITE AREA OF THE CITY, THEY DECIDED TO POUNCE WHILE PROPERTY VALUES STILL WORKED FOR THEIR BUDGET.

“Jillian & Dave popped into my life over a year ago via an email that started with “we’ve been stalking you” ~ With that kind of a comedic intro I knew we would be the perfect fit! What I didn’t expect was the inspirational road these cool kids would take me on. From selecting their home to designing every detail within, I was constantly amazed by their vision, remarkable design skills, and expert execution of finishes touches – which keenly married gold accents with refined wood {swoon}. To say these are some seriously talented folks would be an understatement! To say they were my clients fills me with pure joy.”

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 18156648535177853 We all need an @ally.keene.chc in our lives! Someone whose presence is always warmly felt and comedy perfectly timed. We're still not sure what this gal has more of, plants or puns, but either way we are SO happy to welcome all of her to our collective family!⁣
⁣
A true people-person, Ally loves working directly with clients, helping them curate smooth, positive experiences throughout every stage of the real estate transaction. Her goal is to streamline the home buying and selling processes, to make every client feel welcome and seen, and to advocate for them at every opportunity.⁣

She chooses to call Chicago home after a previous career as a flight attendant✈️ and living on the East, West and Gulf coasts.

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! ⁣

P.S. peep the jaw dropping custom bookshelf❤️⁣
