Ivah has lived in the Chicago area since she was eight years old. She received her advanced education with a BS in Urban Planning from Michigan State University, and an MBA from DePaul University. Ivah has an unusually comprehensive view of our exciting city, since she worked as a senior planner for a firm specializing in commercial and industrial area planning and development. Ivah has brought this background and expertise to her 14-year career in residential real estate brokerage. By combining knowledge of buying patterns with other statistical data, she provides her clients with a thorough analysis of current market conditions and proper pricing.

When asked what her favorite part of the real estate profession is, Ivah has two responses:

  1. "When clients say, 'Thank-you, you did a great job'." Recently, selling clients of Ivah's presented her with a formal Certificate of Appreciation as "The Greatest Down-Market Realtor" in the city.
  2. When she receives a phone call saying, "My friend told me to call you for help buying (or selling) a home."

When not counseling buyers and sellers in smart real estate transactions, Ivah contributes to her city in many civic organizations: West Rogers Park Community Organization, West Rogers Park Community Planning Board, Northtown Garden Society, two reading groups and the Windy City Knitting Guild. Ivah and her husband have two sons, and all have a great time enjoying all the excitement that Chicago has to offer.

What My Clients Have To Say

  • Deb K
    Evanston

    When I needed to sell my home, the market was such that I felt I had to sell by owner in order to make a profit. It was for sale for over two months with no real activity. During this time many Realtors® tried to persuade me to list the home with them, but in all cases, the recommended sales price minus the commission would have left me break even.

    Ivah, however, did such a thorough analysis of the market that her recommended price range allowed me the profit I needed and covered the commission. The only thing to do next was wait for a qualified buyer. The wait was less than a week! The sale went through quickly; I was very satisfied with the negotiated price, and I had Ivah to help me throughout the process. A month later, Ivah had our condo listing. The result was equally satisfying.
