Melanie Feddersen has sold some of the most high profile luxury condominium buildings in Chicago.

In her long career Melanie managed/sold at 15 major new home developments, including: The Fordham, Pinnacle, 65 E. Goethe, Ambassador West, River Bend, The Sexton Lofts and most recently, Lincoln Park 2520.

With over $300,000,000 in personal sales, she is considered an expert in luxury buildings, most specifically the intricate details of the lovely projects listed above. In addition to selling the unique features of each home, she also sells the experience of living in the building and the neighborhood.

Melanie’s experiences have taught her that customer service begins by carefully listening to her clients, setting realistic goals, and developing an action plan. Follow-through and communication are the other key elements to customer service excellence.

As you can see, Melanie offers her clients a high level of customer service and superlative attention to detail. She also understands the needs of affluent buyers and sellers and that the key to success in luxury real estate is personalized service.

Melanie studied Business and Marketing at the University of Iowa, moving first to Southern California, where she earned her California Real Estate License and sold new construction homes. She returned to Chicago in 1991 when she earned her real estate license and began her successful career.

Melanie and her young daughter, Sydney, live in the River North neighborhood. Having gone through the “school” selection process for kindergarten this last year, she can help you navigate through the Chicago Public, Private, Magnet and Gifted School programs.

“Melanie Feddersen is an unparalleled real estate agent. Melanie goes out of her way to be a very accommodating and efficient agent; this is hard to find in a real estate agent, and yet this extremely-high-quality level is what Melanie considers normal and expected in her business. I always hear how stressful it is to sell your home; especially in this market. As a result of Melanie’s work ethic I now have a very lofty expectation of what a real estate agent should be because Melanie sets the bar very high.

Melanie understands selling property is a big decision. She was able to "read between the lines”. Melanie has a deep-running passion for real estate and for every one of her clients, as is evidenced in her personable demeanor, the relationships she builds, and the work she does to sell her client’s home. Melanie has the business side of real estate down to a formulated art, while making you feel special, well-attended to and relaxed. I know Melanie is incredibly busy, and yet, she devotes tons of time and attention to her clients. Melanie knows and understands the Chicago market. Melanie is truly a gem of an agent; I plan to use her in all my future Chicago real estate business and most certainly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell in the Chicago area.”
