Cally became a realtor in 2002. Her strong professionalism and personal charm have made her a top performing agent in the Chicago market. Growing up on a farm in her native Iowa, she has long understood the value of real estate and a strong work ethic. To Cally nothing is more satisfying than finding a buyer the perfect home or making sure her seller receives top dollar. Whether buyers or sellers, her clients benefit from Cally's experience and passion for real estate and client service.

Cally also holds a degree in Geography from the University of Iowa and comes to real estate with experience in negotiating contracts for Archer Daniels Midland (ADM), one of the world's largest agricultural processors. She honed her technological skills by working as a consultant for a software company. When Cally is not achieving the impossible for her clients, she travels, explores the outdoors, and spends quality time with family and friends.

What My Clients Have To Say

  • Cally, I think you did a great job. You were very thorough and made the process very easy for me. As a guy I didn't have a good vision of small things that could be done to the space to make it more marketable. You provided this for me. I've also had a very hectic schedule lately and you were able to work with me and help to take over some of the responsibilities in getting the place fixed up. You did a GREAT job and I appreciate your hard work !!!

  • Cally worked with me on an investment property purchase in Chicago. She completed thorough property valuation analyses, sought out and coordinated with a top rental specialist to find a tenant, coordinated showings during the escrow period, and was in constant contact with me, looking out for my best interests while I was traveling for business and living in California. I am already working with her again, seeking a similar property and results, and I highly recommend her to all of my contacts in Chicago.

  • We wanted to thank you for all your help. We talked to a number of Realtors before we chose you - as you know we did not get your name through a referral but though a phone call to show us one of your listings (I had great luck that day). You were very easy to work with and felt you listened to our needs and understood that your listing was not a good match for us - for you to give us three straight days of your undivided attention (without giving you any notice) to look for homes was awesome. We also want to acknowledge your support through the entire process (helping us find a Gym, getting car stickers, and taking me to the Secretary of State, finding a phone for Neibe, etc). We feel very fortunate to have come across you in our home search and would recommend you to anyone else searching for a home. I also want to acknowledge all the folks you recommend us in the home process (Mortgage, Lawyer, inspection) they all were great. Thanks again!

  • Cally, I am satisfied with you as an agent. You are always available to look at properties when it is convenient for your client. I believe I had a clear understanding of what was going on throughout the process, because of the information you provided me.

  • Miss Burkle represented me in both the purchase and the sale of my Halsted Street condo. I would like you to know what a pleasure that experience was for me. Cally is a pro. There is nothing more important in business transactions than to be handled in a professional and courteous manner; Cally has proven herself a stellar example of that. Cally makes a smooth, positive and substantial impression on buyers, sellers, and other professionals. Cally is dedicated. Having suddenly accepted a position in Washington, I found myself on the selling end much sooner than I had anticipated. The market had cooled and swung the opposite direction from when I was a buyer. My property was not moving. From out of town, I was trying to manage a new position and pay my bills. As you might imagine, this had generated a fair amount of anxiety and stress for me. Being sensitive to my situation, Cally stayed in close contact throughout. While I was rather wound up, Cally was optimistic, energetic and always looking for solutions. Cally truly cares about what she is doing and it shows; it was reassuring to have her on my side. Cally is all about the deal. Cally is obviously very familiar with features, property values and the market, and considers herself at all points my advocate. She recognizes her duty to protect me from unknowingly paying too much for a property. When it came time to make the offer, Cally put us exactly where we needed to be. In that fast moving, competitive market, my offer was accepted immediately, we closed ten days later. Cally is cool! What else do you need to know? Being a new arrival from Los Angeles, I needed to feel certain that I would be happy and comfortable in my neighborhood. Cally took the time to understand who I am and what I need; in fact, I would even consider her a friend. Smart, well dressed and stylish, Cally knows where to go and what to do in Chicago. Thank you for all the fine work.

  • Cally is a true professional in every sense of the word. She puts the time in on the front-end to understand the needs and the motivations of her client, which makes the process much smoother for her clients. She is flexible and attentive to changing situations and ultra-responsive. She is a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend her!

  • Cally Burkle took the time to understand our desired property type and the neighborhood we wanted to be in. The same day we began to see potential properties matching our needs via email. The next weekend we were out on the street with Cally viewing properties. The entire process to find our new home only took a couple weeks and two trips viewing properties. Both of us attribute the ease of the process to Cally's hard work in matching our needs. With the work ethic, professionalism and dedication Cally showed in finding our new home it was an easy decision on who to use for our sale. Cally kept us informed as to the market and advised us on moves to help make the sale of our home go smoothly. She made herself available at any point we had questions or concerns. Her guidance allowed us to close on both properties on the same day, keeping us to only one move. As stated earlier our only desire was to seek assistance in finding a new home, through the process we found a sales agent and a person we now consider to be a friend.

  • I discovered Cally through the Dream Town website and upon our first meeting was immediately impressed with her professionalism and knowledge of the Chicago real estate market. As I was looking for my first place, it was important to me to find a realtor that could really listen to what I was looking for as well as walk me through my first buying experience. Cally's ability to do this was fantastic! Not only is she a great realtor, but she's a wonderful person who truly cares about her clients. I would highly recommend Cally to anyone I know looking for a home in the Chicago area!

  • I received Cally's contact information from a fellow guest at a party. I was looking for an agent to purchase my first home (condo). During my initial meeting with Cally I was very impressed with how she really listened to what I was looking for and to my price range. Cally was very attentive throughout the entire process. She even entertained family members tagging along on showings and weighing in on my choices, as their opinions were instrumental in my decision. I would highly recommend Cally to anyone. In fact, I always carry her business card in my wallet for such recommendations.
