She was actively involved with the updates made, staging- including procurement, and support when we faced a few challenges. Very professional and on top of every deadline! HelenSold a condo ★★★★★ Anne Rossley sold my condo as I am moving out of Chicago’s Streeterville neighborhood and on to NYC. From getting the condo ready to sell to implementing the amazing marketing plan, she did an outstanding job. We sold the condo at full price within one week and the experience was terrific. For all your relocation needs, reach out to Anne! DanSold a Streeterville condo ★★★★★ Anne is amazing! She is a lot of fun to be around, knows Downtown like the back of her hands and is basically a real estate super hero without a cape! We came to Anne with a budget, a short timeline to move from Detroit to Chicago, and a vague idea about finding a home somewhere in downtown Chicago. Anne went right to work and over the course of three days she gave us a masters course on the downtown neighborhoods, the current real estate market and helped us narrow our focus by showing us 15 proprieties in 3 days. On the fourth day we made an offer which was accepted. I write this review from our new home and we could not be happier with our choice. BillRelocated from Detroit to downtown Chicago ★★★★★ I had the pleasure of working with Anne Rossley on the sale of my Chicago condominium, and I am very grateful for her professionalism, persistence, and support throughout the process. This was not a simple transaction, yet Anne remained engaged as issues developed and helped coordinate information among the buyer and the buyer’s agents. Selling a condominium involves many moving parts, and Anne brought her long tenure and valuable Chicago real-estate experience to the process. Her knowledge of condominium sales, building procedures, and practical matters to address ahead of time helped save time and avoid complications. Read the full reviewShow less Anne was especially helpful during the preparation and marketing of the property. She assisted with researching comparable properties, arranging a professional photographer, and creating an attractive listing that presented the condominium in its best light. Her familiarity with the neighborhood and market provided useful perspective on positioning the property and reaching the right audience. As the transaction progressed, Anne helped coordinate important details, including the final walkthrough, elevator availability, keys, and communication with the buyer’s side. She also provided referrals and suggestions when I needed assistance clearing and preparing the unit for closing. Her familiarity with the process and ability to connect me with appropriate resources made the logistics easier to manage. Anne’s knowledge of Chicago condominium transactions was evident throughout the sale. With more than 40 years of experience, she understood the importance of timing, building requirements, documentation, and coordination among the parties involved. This was particularly valuable because condominium sales often involve procedures that differ from ordinary residential transactions. I also valued Anne’s familiarity with the neighborhood and the broader Chicago real-estate market, as well as the energy and insight she brings to her YouTube channel. Her perspective provided helpful context regarding the property, the surrounding area, market expectations, and presenting the home to prospective buyers. Throughout the transaction, Anne was knowledgeable and solution-oriented. She understood that selling a longtime home can be both emotional and demanding. She treated my concerns seriously and helped keep the process moving when unexpected questions or last-minute issues arose. Anne also assisted with matters beyond simply listing the property, including arranging access, coordinating services, communicating with multiple parties, and preparing the unit for its next owner. I appreciated her professionalism, experience, and involvement through the preparation, marketing, coordination, and closing stages. Her guidance helped me navigate a complicated condominium sale successfully—and quickly, mind you. Overall, my experience with Anne was wonderful, and I am pleased to recommend her to anyone considering buying or selling a condo!
