If you don’t see what you want, don’t buy something just to own something. millionģ0 Mark Ahmad Century 21 Affiliated $37.3 millionģ1 Mary Wallace Coldwell Banker $37.0 millionģ2 Katherine Malkin Compass $35.3 millionģ5 Michael Hall Baird & Warner $33.7 millionģ7 Linda Levin Jameson Sotheby’s $32.0 million Buy or wait? The only reason I would say not to buy is inventory is low. And we just have to get a bigger rug in there. A good chunk of the time, if it’s a living room, the rug is too small for the space and it’s bringing your eye in, so it’s making it feel smaller. A lot of times we walk through a space and something feels off. What small thing can be an immediate turnoff to buyers? Rugs. That’s the emotion we want to evoke when people walk into your home. We tell our sellers to think about the best hotel you’ve ever stayed in and how you felt walking into that room. millionĢ5 Joanne Nemerovski Compass $39.0 millionĢ6 Gwen Farinella Jameson Sotheby’s (formerly of Related Midwest) $38.9 millionĢ8 Scott Curcio Baird & Warner $38.1 million What one touch can make a property more attractive? Light and bright: white cabinets, white bedding, white curtains. What small thing can be an immediate turnoff to buyers? When the pictures overpromise and the property underdelivers, and that typically means that the photographer made all the rooms look wider than they are. I would stay away from heavy-duty stripes or a checkerboard pattern, but I’ve seen so many beautiful wallpapers, from really stark and dramatic to very subtle and soft. millionħ Sam Shaffer Chicago Properties $67.8 millionĩ Chezi Rafaeli Coldwell Banker $62.2 millionġ1 Kim Wirtz Century 21 Affiliated $56.1 millionġ2 Nathan Stillwell John Greene $51.6 millionġ3 Ryan Preuett Jameson Sotheby’s $50.8 millionġ4 Jason O’Beirne Jameson Sotheby’s $49.5 millionġ7 Tim Salm Jameson Sotheby’s $46.6 millionĢ0 Anne DuBray Coldwell Banker $41.9 millionĢ1 Lucie Kim Century 21 Affiliated $41.0 millionĢ3 Debra Dobbs $39.7 million What one touch can make a property more attractive?
