I grew up in the Burr Ridge/Hinsdale area, just outside of Chicago. I come from a family of custom home builders, which provided me continual exposure to construction and design from a very early age. This early immersion in the housing industry sparked my interest in building and design, making it second nature. I have always been fascinated with how things are built and I have a very curious nature which lends itself well to the real estate and design industries as there is always something to discover and learn.
My analytical nature led me to pursue literature and English at the University of Kansas. Upon returning to Chicago, I decided to follow my passion by studying Interior Design at Harrington College of Design.
Since 2010, I have worked as an Interior Designer and Home Stager, complementing my real estate career. I obtained my real estate license shortly after my second child was born and became a full time Real Estate Broker in 2017.
Community involvement is essential to me as a resident, mother, and individual. I thrive on connections with others; and take great pride and pleasure in facilitating relationships. I believe the cornerstone of a successful business starts and ends with genuinely caring and helping others.
I have lived in Northeast Oak Park since 2015 with my three kids and our dog, Lou. I’ve volunteered in the school garden and served on the PTO, actively engaging in the neighborhood.
When I'm not engaging in real estate and design services for others, you can find me working on my own home, tending to the plants in my home and garden, taking various art classes, and enjoying yoga and pilates.
With my background in homebuilding, experience as a full-service Interior Designer, Project Manager and General Contractor, as well as Real Estate Broker, I am able to offer a unique concierge service, providing you with design, construction and real estate expertise.

Mallory did an outstanding job, we couldn't be more pleased! She was always available, constantly kept us informed and was 100% responsive! Her recommendations were spot on and our house sold immediately. Thank you Mallory, excellent job!
Mallory is wonderful! First of all, my son and daughter in law recommended her to me. I contacted her, she immediately responded. We set up a date, and she treated me at the lovely cafe across the street from her office. Mallory is smart, capable and "on it" at all times. She is always responsive and makes arrangements to have someone else cover for her if...
Mallory was personally delightful and a consummate professional. She was always available and responsive. She provided full information on available properties and options, and practical advice on questions about everything for a newcomer to Oak Park. When we focused on specific properties, she got the specific information we needed promptly. When the time came to make offers and fin...
It was time for us to move from this old house after 33 years. We raised our two girls and a dog, created our green space, forged many friendships and became members of our community. We were feeling the loss before we even began our new journey and didn't know where to start. Mallory was recommended to us for her expertise in design and decorating, knowledge of the current real estate m...
Mallory was generous with her time and expertise. She made sure all of my needs were met, secured viewings quickly and stayed in communication throughout our complicated deal. I am so so happy with my home purchase and highly recommend working with Mallory.
We loved our experience working with Mallory. She is friendly, available, has great thoughts and opinions but was also very open to our ideas.

We will absolutely use her services again in the future!-Sarah S.

Mallory was and is delightful to work with in several capacities. I made a first-time home purchase with her help that changed my daughter and I’s life. We found a five-bed, three-bath house in a great area at a super affordable rate, and Mallory continued to be of invaluable assistance throughout the interior design process. I am now seriously considering purchasing an investment prop...
Mallory has a great eye for beautiful design. You’ll be extremely happy with all of her services. She’s a great designer and real estate agent. She can look at a room and within seconds she has several options of how the area can work for you. Everything from simple designs to major construction and remodeling. She helped us through some very difficult things that came up and she han...
Mallory is a true professional. She does a great job presenting homes that fit with what I'm looking for to avoid wasting my time. In addition she calls it black and white .... so I can trust that she is not going to "sell me" on buying a home that is not the right fit for my investment strategy. So is more focused on the long term relationship then a single sale. Thanks for all the hard...
We loved working with Mallory! We bought an old Oak Park home with lots of original wood work in the living room and dining room. We did not want to paint the wood, but still wanted to create a light and modern yet comfortable feel for our family of five. Mallory was very responsive, creative and flexible. She has excellent taste and always made sure to consider functionality, since we h...
