  • Chicago, IL (1888PressRelease) December 16, 2010 - Dream Town Realty, the Chicago real estate industry's leading online company, announced the addition of nine agents in September. Among the new agents are Marilyn Bloom, Maggie Blondis, Ivah Urbanski and Lynn Reidl. All five offer home listing and purchasing services in the Chicago area.

    Marilyn Bloom prides herself on being a full-service agent for clients. "For sellers I'll set a price, help them find an attorney if they need one and help them understand the process start to finish," said Ms. Bloom. "With buyers I'll help them figure out a price range, find a mortgage consultant and inspector and I'll even help with their move." Ms. Bloom spent many years in advertising as a representative for creative talent. She believes matching the right talent to the right job is not unlike finding the perfect property for a client. "Listening is critical," said Ms. Bloom. "Sometimes it's matching an inexperienced buyer to his starter home, sometimes it's understanding an investor's spread sheet and sometimes it's just listening to a seller who is eager to move on."

    Maggie Blondis' belief in the power of education is evident in her prestigious GRI Graduate, Realtors Institute designation, which is held by less than 5% of realtors and requires extensive graduate hours in all aspects of real estate. Her focus on education also translates to client interactions. "I believe every client deserves to be kept informed throughout the entire transaction," said Ms. Blondis, whose real estate experience includes single family homes, condominiums, developments, conversions and investment properties. "Selling and buying a home is a long and complicated process, and my job is to do what I can to make that process as smooth of a transaction as possible."

    A bachelor's degree in urban planning from Michigan State University and an MBA from DePaul University gives Ivah Urbanski a broad analytical perspective in her role as a Dream Town realtor. Ms. Urbanski, who previously worked as a senior planner for a firm specializing in commercial and industrial area planning and development, says that by combining her knowledge of buying patterns with other statistical data, she can provide clients with a thorough analysis of current market conditions and proper pricing. "I enjoy counseling buyers and sellers in smart real estate transactions, and I try to help my clients be as comfortable with the information as possible," said Ms. Urbanski, "so that they are able to make an informed decision about their next steps."

    Lynn Reidl attributes her success in the real estate arena to putting on her "reporter's hat" during client interactions. "I not only listen carefully, but I make sure to ask the right questions to help me pinpoint exactly what my clients want, and how I can get them there," said Ms. Reidl, who has frequently been a top producer among all members of Chicagoland's multiple listing service, often achieving sales of 8-10 million per year. Ms. Reidl, whose experience varies from condos and multi-units to lofts, townhomes and single family residences, is also co-founder of rejuvestate.org, a network of Chicagoland homeowners, tenants and professionals that collaborate to create a better plan for communities through sustainable changes and positive thinking.
