Fun facts: Realtor. Rehabber. Home Stager. Master Negotiator. "Before-and-After Guru". Green Thumb. Easy To Reach. Always Approachable.

Molly Marino is a real estate broker with Baird and Warner Lincoln Park and owner of Home by Molly Marino. She breaks the stereotype of a conventional agent that dove into real estate because they couldn’t come up with something better to do, but rather brings 25 years of executive experience in strategic marketing and business development to her real estate practice. Molly takes an aggressive strategy-centered approach to real estate to truly knock out home runs for her clients. She chose this career because she valued the chase for a great property, the independence of being able to move quickly and react for her own clients, not for someone else's, and the thrill of multi-tasking in a competitive environment to make significant impact on her client's lives. She draws on her corporate background and is smart, strategic, detailed, results-oriented and powerful. She is an advocate for her clients unlike any other and her reviews prove it. In addition to being in the top 2% of all Realtors in Illinois and top 10 producers in the prestigious Lincoln Park office of Baird and Warner, Molly also is one of the only agents in the state who also provides full service home staging and consulting services through her business, Home by Molly Marino. As the owner of this home staging company she can turn any lackluster listing from average to exceptional by bringing the right guidance and resources to bear. She is known for taking properties that have languished on the market for months, reworking the listing, and selling for even more than owners thought possible. She has a social media fan following for her “before and after” projects in which she showcases and details the dramatic turn arounds. She has an extensive background in renovation and rehab and is able to guide both buyers and sellers with ideas on what modifications may be possible in a home, what the rough costs may be and even assist in helping them find the right team to make it happen. Prior to her real estate career Molly earned her Masters of Business Administration from the University of Chicago, one of the country's best business schools. She holds two undergraduate degrees from Miami University, Oxford, and above all, has real life know-how and interpersonal skills that make her exceptionally easy to connect with. Having led major marketing and sales initiatives for large corporations in her earlier career, Molly applies exceptionally sophisticated and thoughtful listing strategies for her selling clients and is one of the toughest negotiators in the business using many skills learned at the University of Chicago for both sellers and buyers. Her clients find her upbeat personality, attention to detail, and "always on" approach refreshing. She leaves no stone unturned as she works to find the best fit property for a buyer or negotiate and market for a seller. For a more complete bio visit her website at www.mollymarino.com.
