Put the Power of 2 to work for you....
Mike McCallum: Knowledgeable, caring and patient is how my past clients have described me. I’m proud of these important qualities and I think it comes from the fact that when you’re my client your best interest is my main priority. We’re in an ever-changing real estate market and I make it a point to be thoroughly informed in market trends. I use the latest research tools to inform my buyers and sellers of these conditions so they can make an informed decision. My past experience as an engineer and in the construction industry gives me a superior understanding of potential problems in a home. Additionally, my personal experience rehabbing a home and working as a landlord benefit my clients who may be interested in doing the same.
Becky McCallum: Hardworking, creative and not afraid to get my hands dirty is an accurate description of my work ethic. I have over 20 years of experience in interior design and real estate staging. My work experience is varied and extensive, having designed for HGTV's "Designed to Sell," the HGTV Dream Home, the Chicago Merchandise Mart Dream Home, and the Lake Forest Showhouse and Gardens. My passion is in assisting sellers in the preparation of their home for listing photography, open houses and showings. Once we have your home looking its best, I am proud to bring my graphic design and creative marketing skills to get your home in front of as many potential buyers as possible. For buyers, I am excited to help you envision the possibilities and potential of houses on the market and how we can turn them into your future dream home.
Mike and Becky make the perfect realtor team--his market and industry knowledge plus her creativity and design experience combine to make a fantastic blend of service. Their clients' needs are always put first, buyer or seller, and they routinely go above and beyond. Plus, they're super involved in the North Center community, and that care shows in everything they do!
Mike has helped several of our family members in finding their forever home and is part of our family now. Mike has been there through the ups and downs and is a tremendous asset in the stressful home search. His extensive knowledge of the city, building types, and market are unmatched. I would choose Mike every time!
It was such a great experience working with Mike on a recent transaction. As a mortgage lender helping homebuyers across Chicagoland, I was truly impressed by his quick communication, strong market knowledge, and commitment to making the process seamless for our shared clients. Whether it’s a first-time buyer or a move to the suburbs, he’s a trusted, knowledgeable agent I’d happily...
Mike and Becky's expertise ensured that my home selling process was smooth and stress free. From staging to closing. I would highly recommend the McCallum team.
Life circumstances required that we urgently sell our family home. Mike and his team were sensitive to the condition of the home and our wishes to see our time there come to a profitable and swift end. We appreciate his real estate expertise and creative solutions in difficult moments. This was a difficult transition for our family and we were grateful to have the sale handled profession...
Mike and Becky took great care of us!
A pleasure to work with.
Our experience with Mike and Becky was great! As first time buyers we had MANY questions and he was patient, responsive, and took the time to explain the “why” to help ease any concerns we had along with helping direct us to not make rash decisions with the excitement of buying. Mike and Becky really listened and took into account what we were looking for as well as helping us see th...
Mike and Becky were phenomenal to work with. It was our first time buying a home and they were always patient when asking our (many) questions. They worked so hard to get us the best deal and making sure our bids were always competitive. We are both so glad that we worked with Mike and Becky to get our first house.
Mike and Becky are a great team. I would highly recommend them. Mike was spot on with the market analysis and what I should list the property for. Becky has amazing staging skills (watch her videos on staging. Amazing the tricks of the trade). Mike helped me with the purchase of the property as well and has always provided support throughout the years. With Mike and Becky you’re gettin...
Mike is awesome. Truly knowledgeable and attentive, totally focused on the needs of his clients. We have used him for four major transactions over the years and he makes the whole process seamless, easy and low stress. Not to mention that his partner Becky - another seasoned real estate professional- is a beautiful stager and designer. They are a fantastic team.
Mike and Becky McCallum are a fantastic real estate team. Mike is knowledgeable, professional, thorough, great to work with - he's top notch. I have used only him in all my real estate transactions since I started buying homes. Becky is also fantastic and one of the best design resources out there. Together they are just unmatched! Highly recommend them to anyone.
We had a great experience with Becky and Mike McCallum. From the beginning, they made us feel comfortable in the process. Using Becky’s advice, we developed a plan to do a renovation project before going to market. The renovation was a great idea and I believe it helped us sell our place fast. We had a full-price offer in less than a week! In terms of buying our new place they were ver...
Mike and Becky were patient and took the time to listen to our needs as we went through the home purchase process. They helped us find our forever home. We would highly recommend them to our friends.
So glad I had Mike and Becky to make a stressful process (as a first time buyer) easy! They were very responsive to any and all questions and were there at all appointments from the inspection through the final walkthrough.
Mike was great to work with for purchasing our first house. He offered a lot of insight and made the process very smooth on his side of things. He is knowledgeable and dependable. Thank you!
This is my second time working with Mike, but the first for a solo condo purchase. Not only is Mike incredibly kind and responsive, but also really knowledgeable about Chicago real estate, things to look for or ask about, and provides really excellent recommendations for additional resources (inspectors, lawyers, etc) to make the process as easy as possible. I will always recommend Mike ...
Thank you Michael for helping me find the home I was looking for. My experience with my Michael was so excellent. During the house search period he was very helpful and quick at scheduling showings for me. He was always available for questions by email and text. As a first time home buyer I really appreciated his insight and knowledge about real estate. He gave me lots of useful informat...
Mike was easy to work with, knowledgable on the area I was looking into and I highly recommend him!
I found Mike through a friend who also had a good condo buying experience with him. I'm a first time buyer and Mike was great at helping me understand the steps, strategy, etc. Highly responsive and willing to spend time with you when your work schedule allows for it. Definitely recommend working with him.
Mike was fantastic to work with. He is extremely knowledgeable, very easy to communicate with and quick to respond to any questions we had. He was calm and reassuring when it felt like we would never find something we liked, and helped us make decisions without ever seeming to have an addenda other than what was in our best interest. I would recommend him to anyone looking to buy a home
Mike was a fantastic real estate agent for us. He was extremely patient and was able to handle the entire transaction without me being in the same city. He communicated effectively and took care of a ton of things behind the scenes. I would highly recommend Mike!
Mike was amazing to work with. He told us the truth on what all we needed to do in order to sale. Actually, he sold out condo before it was even “officially” on the market!! His wife stages homes, so he was able to consult with her on ideas, and made our place look great! I can’t say enough about how smooth he made this whole experience for us. He was available to us any time we ...

First, let me say, I've moved around a bit over the past 40 years and have bought and sold many homes. Each comes with new problems and learning opportunities. Mike helped me buy and settle in the Chicago area from over 1000 miles away. He was a great asset to have during this move. He helped me solve some a pretty serious issue and was generally a great go-to person for related issu...
I thought I knew what I wanted when I started searching for a home, but had no idea the hurdles I would go through. Mike walked me through every step of the process, and connected me with people I could trust. Mike doesn’t just help you purchase a home; he provides you with the resources and knowledge you didn’t know you needed.
Mike was great to work with and really helped us figure out what area of Chicago would best suit us. Moving from out of state it can be overwhelming to narrow down your scope. Mike provided his longtime knowledge of the city and tools to helps us figure out what areas would best suit our needs: commute, walkability to entertainment, safety and family friendly areas. He was very patient, ...
Mike is amazing. He is extremely knowledgable about the Ravenswood/North Center/Lincoln Square area where we chose to live. Unlike other realtors, he takes the time to get to know us as couple an knew instantly which property was best for us. As someone who is new to the area, he helped with the small details and stayed on top of seller to make sure we got things completed on time.
Mike was fantastic. He helped sell our home without a hitch. His ability to help us navigate the negotiation phase ensured a smooth sale with happy buyers and sellers. Wonderful at his profession.
Mike was always punctual with responses and gave us very sound advice with regards to strategy. He also very competent in the art of negotiation(s)
Mike was a true professional in every sense and went above and beyond in every facet of helping my wife and I find our house. He was always available to answer any questions and is very knowledgable about the Market in general. Beyond that, his easy going and kind demeanor make him very easy to work with on a personal level. 5 stars!
As first time home buyers, we were looking for an experienced agent who understood our family's needs and the Chicago market. We feel so lucky we met Mike. He was patient, kind, and very clearly knew what he was doing. The home he guided us to is a much better fit than what we were initially thinking about buying before we started looking at places with him. We got a great home at a gre...
Mike was a very patient and wonderful realtor to work with. We spoke to him long before we were even thinking to sell and kept in contact through the years until we finally made the leap. Mike has a knack for knowing the realtor landscape and what needs to be done not only to sell but to buy. He's not like other realtors whom I've met that puts too much pressure on just making the sell. ...
We had a spectacular experience working with Mike McCallum for our first-time home purchase. His thoughtful and cautious demeanor, overall knowledge of the area, continuous attention to detail, and his patience were so valuable to us.

I was fortunate enough to work with Mike a second time when my wife and I were ready to purchase a family home in Chicago. Within 6 months, Mike helped us not only find our home but also update/fix, list and sell the condo we were moving out of (which he also helped me purchase 6 years prior). To our credit we had already visited a few open-houses and narrowed down our search before we c...
My wife and I would recommend Mike very much, he was very patient and helpful! Both of us not being from the area, it was very nice having someone so knowledgeable and able to answer the smallest of questions. Mike is also very prompt on appointments and response to emails and/or phone calls! If you are looking for someone who will be there for and with you the whole way, he's the guy!
Mike had provided my wife and I with absolutely exceptional service. Mike was very patient, and extremely helpful with our home buying process. As far as we are concerned the best agent ever. If you are a first time home buyer or even a 5th time home buyer and are looking for a new home Mike is the guy to go to.

I can not recommend Mike highly enough. He stuck with me through a very long and difficult financing process, and contractor selection process. He was always available to meet us at the property, and guide us with any questions or concerns we had. I found this especially commendable in light of the small commission he was due, as the purchase price was only $190K.

Mike was a pleasure to work with! First time home owner and Mike made the process so much easier for me. He was always available and consistently answered my calls, my emails, my text messages etc. He was polite and excited about purchasing my home just as much as I was.

We never really felt overwhelmed by the entire home buying process, and this is because of Mike. He was always patient with us, and answered every single question (there were many) with in-depth, knowledgeable answers, making sure that we understood everything. He always made himself available and was flexible with our busy schedules

Mike was our real estate agent when my wife, my mother-in-law, and I bought our home in the North Center neighborhood of Chicago. It was great to have someone as thorough and educated as he is to help us with the biggest financial transaction of our lives.

Mike was very intelligent and easy to work with. He was able to meet all my needs in my first home purchase. Thanks! - Joe
We enjoy working with Mike and can't think of any areas he could improve upon. We like using Mike because he won't push us into buying something, he takes the time to show us everything on the market and if we don't like it we wait. - Bryan & Cari
