Honored to be named the Best Real Estate Company of 2021 and 2022 by the Chicago Reader



Melissa and Annie know their business incredibly well. We found them engaging, thoughtful and great listeners. They were receptive to our input and worked with our needs, but firm when something was important. Their attention to details was thorough, creative and precise. I thought they were designers with all the tips they offered, and felt very comfortable in following their guidance. We were confident that all options were considered and the listing was as strong as it could be. We felt we received a lot of value for their services. The end result was beyond our expectations and we’re very happy. Highly recommended!
Best. Realtor. Ever. Annie Coleman and her terrific team at Living Room Realty make you feel like family. They truly go above and beyond to help you find the right place to call home. Highly recommended! My partner and I were new to the homebuying process and all its complexity, yet Annie made it feel totally manageable. What makes her special is that she's uniquely in tune to the needs of working creatives and artists, and she patiently walked us through all considerations to ensure we were comfortable. Annie was with us every step of the way, and her natural charm made our home search that much more enjoyable. Can't say enough great things about our experience!
We worked with Annie to buy our first home. The experience was exactly what we were hoping for: Annie was very knowledgeable, very patient, and constantly on the lookout for great opportunities once she understood what we were looking for. She made things work during COVID and its restrictions and her strategy when making bids was the reason we got our place. During the whole closing process she introduced us to very helpful and affordable resources to use to ensure a smooth close. Will definitely use her in the future for my real estate needs.
The LivingRoom Realty crew is attentive, knowledgeable and supportive. They are invested in making sure their clients find the right home and were a constant source of wisdom during our first-time homebuying experience. They helped us think about the right questions and stay patient during an at times arduous process. Also, they're just plain ol' nice folks that are a pleasure to interact with. It's thanks to them that we secured our dream home. I encourage anyone to seek them out when looking to purchase a home. Thanks for everything Susannah, Annie and LivingRoom Realty!
Annie helped me buy my condo six years ago (first time buyer). She was very helpful with my search (and possibly very patient, I had not yet focused on a very specific area). I learned a lot from going around with her and visiting many places, and even if at that time I had already lived in Chicago for more than 12 years, I discovered new things about the neighborhoods I was interested in. And if you attend one of the regular buyer's seminars at Living Room, you can meet the entire team you will be dealing with at the beginning. It helps a lot for a first time buyer. And yes, in the end I got exactly what I wanted, and I am still happy about my condo....
I had a great experience working with Annie and Sarah at Living Room. They worked diligently to find a building that suited my needs. I felt well taken care of throughout the entire process. I couldn't be happier.
They’re a team of pros who knew the market far better than I could. They positioned us perfectly for a closing I didn’t think was possible. Hard to imagine a better group.
Annie Coleman and the team at Living Room Realestate helped us so much in the process of purchasing our home. The for first time home buyers class at their office, gave us so much clarity. I would definitely recommend checking them out!
The folks at Living Room are the best. I went with Annie & company to buy my house back in 2010, and again when I sold it in 2018. They are intimately familiar with Chicago and it's neighborhoods, and will also hip you to some things about a potential neighborhood that you probably don't know. They were able to guide me through the home buying and selling process in a way that I could understand, were always communicative, and often provided advice that I would not have pursued on my own. The real estate market in Chicago is full of companies and agents who want your business, but could care less about you as an individual. Work with Living Room, and you'll see just how rewarding the home buying/selling experience should be.
Have bought and sold with Annie and her team on a few different homes and can’t say enough glowing things about them. They really take the time to understand your needs, they invest themselves in your process and stay committed to making sure that you feel good about the final outcome. They’re especially great with first-time buyers and alternative buying arrangements, like co-ops. Highly recommend!
As first time home buyers we weren't entirely sure what type of property we wanted. Annie showed us a variety of options. She is patient and knowledgeable. Ultimately she found us a great place that worked out perfectly.
The LivingRoom Realty team was fun to work with, offered amazing options, attention to detail and our home selling and buying experience was not stressful at all because of their guidance and friendly approach.
I've been working with Living Room Realty for over a decade and I'm always impressed, but not surprised, with their professionalism and expertise. They helped me buy my first very tiny condo and helped me find my current fixer-upper single family home in an affordable neighborhood. I recommend them to everyone I know - they are the best in Chicago!
They know Chicago and their business. Nice people to work with without any pushiness.
I had such an excellent experience with Living Room Realty buying my first (dream) home! I can't recommend them highly enough. Susannah Ribstein was my realtor, and she is just fabulous. Susannah was flexible and incredibly patient with me as we looked at many houses that weren't quite what I wanted. Then she patiently answered my million questions, helped me hone in on what exactly I *did* want in my first home, and ultimately, helped me find it! She was supportive, professional, and highly knowledgeable throughout the process, which speaks to the excellent training she must have received at Living Room Realty. What I most appreciated about Susannah in the homebuying process was her honesty and candor: she always let me know what she could and couldn't offer advice on, and proved to be a fantastic sounding board for just how much of a fixer-upper I thought I wanted, and helped me decide how much of a fixer-upper I would be able to handle once the keys were in my hands. Do yourself a favor if you're thinking of buying a house and don't call a big corporate chain: call Living Room Realty if you want a personalized experience with a fantastic realtor who will truly work for you and put your best interests first as a client.
Livingroom has helped me buy and sell two different homes now and each time I couldn't have been more thrilled with how it went. Annie and Sarah went the extra mile at every opportunity and it was clear that they really knew their business. I couldn't have asked for anything more!
