Marion Powers & Chris Downey Mentioned in Crain’s!

Both Chris Downey and Marion Powers, of our Winnetka office, are quoted in Crain’s ChicagoRealEstateDaily.com!

Marion is quoted saying, “Old-time mansions often don’t appeal to today’s affluent buyer, because of the high cost of maintenance and updating.” Chris says she’s not convinced seller-sponsored demos are a trend, but has seen a few instances of such, “It’s usually because somebody had a change of heart.” To read the full article, please click here.
