<p>I have been in the real estate business since 1999, so there isn't a lot that surprises me anymore. If you hire me, you will get an honest confidant for your real estate transaction. I promise to lean on my experience and provide you sage advice based on current market conditions. My goal is to make your real estate transaction as financially beneficial and efficient as possible. It can be complicated selling a property. Let my resources, knowledge and skills ensure you have informed, efficient and successful real estate transactions while experiencing a high level of personal service. I'm obsessively responsive to my clients which is why people have felt comfortable referring family and friends to me. When it is time to buy, sell or lease a property I always provide my clients with in-depth property analysis driven by relevant and recent market data. I educate buyers and sellers on property values and local market trends. I aggressively market my seller's listings with cutting edge 3D technology, social media ads, video tours and high quality digital photography. With my decades of experience comes referrals for professional service providers that will also aid in making the transaction smootth. Everything I do is to ensure my clients make informed decisions so they can look back at the transaction and know they made the best choice every step of the way. I listen to my clients needs, help them to develop realistic goals based off those needs and then work everyday to accomplish those goals and exceed their expectations.</p> <p>Background:</p> <p>I started my career in real estate working with a small, family owned company that bought and remodeled vintage single family homes and 2-8 unit buildings throughout Chicagoland. I learned carpentry and various remodeling skills from the husband and co owner of the business. After a couple years working with the husband I decided to learn residential real estate appraisal from the wife and other co owner of the company. I obtained my real estate appraisal license in 2003 and worked as a staff appraiser for a bank and started my own real estate appraisal firm, which I had until 2019. In 2006, I studied for and passed my real estate brokerage tests and became a real estate broker. Since that time I have helped over a thousand clients buy, sell and lease properties throughout the city of Chicago and the surrounding suburban areas. I was named "Rookie of the Year" in my Coldwell Banker office my first year in the business. After continued success and growth, I decided to start my own real estate brokerage, Organic Realty, with a business partner in 2011. After building the business to 25 Realtors and selling over $120 million in real estate, we sold the business to Coldwell Banker in 2017. I have been back "home" with Coldwell Banker where I started my real estate sales career ever since.</p>

What my clients are saying
“Eliza is extremely professional, but not at the expense of creating a personal connection with her clients. She was extremely patient and adapted to our needs and wants in an unprecedented time; the start of COVID in 2020. She always worked hard to schedule showings, worked on dealing with other agents, and never let the pandemic adversely affect us. She never let us get discouraged throughout our search and did more than enough in helping us prepare for the home-buying process. Eliza was always readily available to answer a plethora of questions, not just related to a home-search, but even financing, home improvement, etc... She has a wealth of knowledge to all things home-related, and we were lucky and grateful to have an agent as knowledgeable, compassionate, and empathetic as her. She checked-in with us every step of the way and even after we moved in, a testament to how she cares for her clients professionally, but also as people, personally. Overall, we were lucky and grateful to have Eliza Mickatavage as our agent, and anyone else would be as well.”

“Selecting a realtor can be confusing for a first-time home seller. I met with three other realtors before I met Tony. I was impressed with his professionalism and attention to detail. I also liked the fact he was up to date with using technology and stats. He is experienced and was able to get me good sources that could carry out the work I needed to do to the property, presale. Due to his experience, versatility and knowledge of neighborhoods and construction, Tony was able to guide we though the process with practical suggestions such as getting new pulls for the existing wooden cabinets, etc. Being a good listener, Tony made sure my needs were met and if I had unreasonable needs, he had the tact to educate me in a respectful informative manner. Tony introduced me to a very efficient and equally pleasant real estate attorney. But based on how he conducts himself, all his referrals were winners. The entire process was pleasant. But most important, his knowledge of the market, pricing and research helped me land an offer above the listing price within two weeks after posting on MLS. This was due in part to Tony being meticulous and precise in ensuring the sale would be successful. At all times, Tony was motivating, positive and excellent at communicating with me. He worked at my pace and promptly available when I needed to get hold of him. Being diligent, Tony did not mind making as many trips as necessary to ensure the property was not affected by the unusual amount of snow and offered to shovel. Tony’s personality is such that he is committed to provide a positive outcome and a pleasant experience. The property was listed on January 12 and closing was completed on February 22. I gladly refer Tony to you without hesitation.”

“Tony is the BEST realtor, hands down. My husband and I recently purchased our first single-family home and Tony was invaluable throughout the entire process. He's super responsive, answering any and all questions honestly and quickly. From pointing out potential issues during viewings to offering a robust listing of contractors to assist with future projects after purchasing, Tony seems to know it all when it comes to housing. We are forever grateful to him for helping us find our dream home and working so diligently to make it ours.”
