The best compliment Marc Dumas ever received came from a co-worker of his who told him, “ You are at your best when you are helping others make their lives better.” Ever since then he's taken those words to heart and uses them as his personal mantra in his work. Marc is a Broker Associate | REALTOR®/ with Baird & Warner Real Estate, splitting time in its Chicago Lincoln Park & West Loop offices. For over 10 years, he lives to serve in all that he does and his clients love him for his enthusiastic and fun approach to buying and selling homes. He uses his advanced knowledge of Chicagoland and real estate coupled with a consultative approach to help clients identify and define their real estate goals. From there, developing a strategy together helps them achieve success and the results they desire. In addition to his real estate expertise, he’s able to offer my clients advanced negotiation tactics, detailed market analysis and neighborhood data as well as a recommended network of specialists to assist with the buying/selling process. For buyers, tip No. 1 is to make sure you are prequalified, and the name on the letterhead matters. This does 2 things: You know what you can buy so you can shop with confidence and when the seller’s agent sees the name on the letter, they are confident the deal will get done. As the market starts to heat up already, he predicts that property near downtown will see a resurgence (with companies wanting more folks to return to the office) as will places like Bronzeville, River North and the West Loop continue to be hot. For clients about to list, Marc offers these three “must” tips: “Price it right(gone are the days of being above the market - that’s a guarantee for it to sit); show it right(staging, decluttering); and make market it right(video is a must)!” While doing that, he has a life as well, trying to be the best father, coach (if you want to talk baseball, he’s here for it) , friend and fraternity man he can.
