Selling a downtown condo or a historic home takes more than a sign and a listing. Pricing, preparation, building rules, and timing all affect what you net. I’ve sold Chicago homes since 1987 and stay involved from our first conversation to closing. Start with a valuation, or read the guides below.

Common Questions About Selling a Chicago Condo
Updated October 2026
How do I find out what my Chicago condo is worth?
Start with an instant estimate, then ask for a comparison of recent sales in your building and nearby buildings. In a condo, the floor, view, condition, and the building finances all move the price, so an online number is a starting point, not a price. I walk sellers through the real numbers before we list.
What should I do before listing my downtown Chicago condo?
Request your condo association documents early, ask whether any special assessments are pending, and fix the small things buyers notice. A full renovation is rarely needed. Staging and professional photography usually do more for a sale than a major remodel.
How long does it take to sell a downtown Chicago condo?
It depends on price, condition, the building, and the season. A well-priced, well-presented condo can sell quickly. One of my Streeterville clients sold at full price within one week. I share current days-on-market for your neighborhood when we talk.
Should I sell on my own or hire a Realtor?
Selling on your own can save a commission, but a Realtor handles pricing, marketing, condo documents, and negotiation, and those can change what you net. My article on selling on Zillow versus hiring a Realtor walks through the tradeoffs.
Do you sell historic and luxury condos?
Yes. I specialize in downtown Chicago condos, historic buildings, and luxury properties, and I work with downsizers, empty nesters, and executives. I have been licensed since 1987.
