Joan Conlisk - Realtor

Field trip to look at lighting for client’s new addition. Gorgeous selection - and choices were made!

Under Contract

From the street, a handsome Greystone with gorgeous restored condo - from the rooftop deck, a Summer party spot ready to go!

Closed today. Little but mighty. 1100 sq ft - but then a finished full basement. Buyer needs were for a space to play his music - specifically drums - and the basement was just the spot. He also liked the massive backyard that merges directly to a lush park. My seller is happy the house found the right buyer, and we all see happy years ahead for this musician who also likes backyard barbecues. A perfect match!

Sunny brick ranch in amazing location: cul-de -sac in front, park in back. 2542 William, Glenview $429,000. Open House Sunday 4/3/22, 11:30-1:30.

Buying and Selling Real Estate is Strategic.

Understanding the client’s needs and wants requires thoughtful discussion and strategic thinking. Market timing, making home improvements (or not), pricing, negotiating, consulting and counseling until the successful transaction is complete - all the while building a trusted relationship that lasts way past the closing.
Is Winter the right time to sell/buy - or would it be better to wait until Spring? If you’d like to discuss your real estate situation and get strategic, let’s talk.

A new review just in. Thank you!
This home sale journey had twists and turns - but resulted in a smooth transaction success for my seller, their renter, and ultimately, the new owner.

“Joan is the best there is. We first used Joan a few years back when trying to sell our Winnetka property. She had an extremely detailed understanding of the local market dynamics and was very strategic in her approach. She developed the most beautiful marketing materials and got our property a full featured article in a local publication. We ultimately changed our minds and decided to rent the property because we thought we might have a chance to move back, so we hit pause after just a couple weeks.

Fast forward two years and we decided to relist the property so we went straight back to Joan. Upon re-listing, we discovered we had to deal with some big challenges with our existing renters - our recently renovated home had been badly cared for, and we had difficulties in getting cooperation for showings based on our rental contract. Joan went above and beyond to help us navigate a difficult situation from halfway across the country while we were in the middle of yet another cross country move of our own. If we had been dealing with anyone else, we simply would have had to pull the property off the market and wait until we could give it the attention it needed- likely missing a huge market opportunity. Joan did everything she could to help us get the necessary repairs and navigate a difficult relationship with our renters. Above and beyond is an understatement- she got the job done through more hurdles than you could imagine. I cannot recommend her enough.”
