Malia Motley
About Malia
Malia began her career in real estate working behind the scenes. As an administrative professional for several top brokers, Malia grew to appreciate the fast pace of the industry. She made the decision to pursue her career as a licensed real estate broker, and has never looked back. Her experience in property management and leasing gives Malia’s clients an edge—she draws on her extensive behind-the-scenes knowledge to help her clients navigate the process with ease.
A lifelong Chicago resident, Malia has lived in East Rogers Park for over a decade. She utilizes her extensive knowledge of the city and suburbs to help her clients find their ideal home. Malia believes that each client should have their dream home, no matter their budget or situation. Working as an advocate, Malia strives to provide her clients with a stress-free transaction. A believer in new beginnings, Malia is passionate about empowering her clients—especially those transitioning out of hardship—to achieve their homeownership goals.
Malia never says no to a trip to the museum or the zoo with her daughter, Chloe, and loves to spend her free time exploring the city with her energetic mini-me. She loves to laugh, and could probably quote much of Schitt's Creek on demand if requested. A self-described elote connoisseur, Malia looks forward to warmer weather and walks along the lakefront with friends and family.
Malia was my property manager for two years and she never hesitated to go above and beyond. She made it a point to follow up with a call and email whenever I had an issue or a question and she responded rapidly. She made sure to maintain a clean and efficient property and a continuous pleasant disposition. She is very professional.
