The Malibu Condominiums are some of the best condos on Sheridan Road- on Lake Michigan, homes offer balconies, large room sizes, and it’s a truly full-amenity building.

I looked forward to helping my seller market his home – he was an original owner, and had enjoyed beachfront living for many years. When he invited me in for the first time,  I found gorgeous views to the south — both city and beach, but not so great views inside.

6007 N Sheridan Road - The Malibu - Views South to Chicago

To get the property sold, we needed to take action.

We hired an organizer and staged the condo before putting it on the market. Of course, we also employed a professional photographer.
