Annie Coleman Annie Coleman brings over 10 years of experience working in the global financial services and investment banking industry to her real estate practice. She has coordinated multi-million dollar projects globally and she brings the same care and attention to detail that she dedicated to global projects when assisting you with your local real estate needs. Annie developed her passion for buildings growing up in a Frank Lloyd Wright house in Oak Park. That experience developed her admiration of quality workmanship, attention to how spaces function and flow, and thoughtful design. Annie started investing in real estate over 7 years ago. She gut renovated a 6-flat which gave her in-depth knowledge about buildings from the inside out. Annie is a multi-instrumentalist and active member of the Chicago music community.

Elizabeth Dudek Before finding her true calling as a real estate professional, Elizabeth collected a skill set uniquely designed to produce a very well rounded Realtor®. She combines experience as a computer consultant, education in interior design & an extensive background as a real estate assistant for a downtown law office. The result is a relationship-based Realtor® able to bring knowledge, experience, resources & enthusiasm to her clients. She ably assists buyers & sellers in understanding the complexities of the real estate process at every step. In addition, Elizabeth never forgets that her clients lead active lives outside of real estate & is obliging & flexible to the ever-changing needs & schedules of her clients. Elizabeth considers herself to be a bit of a Renaissance woman who has enjoyed traveling since she was in the womb (literally). She has dabbled in many careers but her most memorable was as a singing waitress aboard a ship. She loves animals and has 2 cats and 1 dog as roommates along with her husband (whom she imported from England) in a half duplex in West Bucktown. direct : 312.498.7378 TESTIMONIALS “I want to thank you for everything you have done to make this whole house buying experience one of excitement rather than frustration. I appreciate the million different ways you explained the process in order to help me understand what exactly I was signing away at, and the countless hours spent sifting though the beauties and the beasts of the housing market. But most importantly I want to thank you for finding a home that I am so ecstatic to be able to call my own. It has everything I never knew I wanted in a house beyond the vague “charming” title. I wouldn’t have been able to have done it without you two. Thank you, thank you, thank you.” “I loved working with Annie. Annie loves real estate and she brings an incredible amount of enthusiasm and attention to the buying process. I feel like she really took the time to get to know what I was looking for. I have bought and sold units with her and I was impressed with her professionalism, thoroughness, and patience. She also gave me great advice on decorating my unit for a sale and estimates on installing wood floors at my new place. I have recommended her to everyone I know – she is the best!” PRESS 03.01.10 “Grants for Good: LivingRoom Realty’s micro-grant program” · Mindful Metropolis 04.01.09 “REALTY BITES: Chicago’s LivingRoom Realty Takes Sustainable Living Personally” · The Green Line 03.13.08 “Home Stretch” · Ideal Bite |
