Michelle Mackey

Licensed IL Real Estate Broker | REALTOR®

Welcome!
Thanks for stopping by—this is a great place to learn more about me and begin your home search journey. Whether you're buying, selling, or relocating, I’d love to guide you every step of the way. Have questions? Just reach out, and I’ll personally invite you to search with me on Zenlist!

A Bit About Me

With over 30 years of experience in customer service and client relations, I bring strong communication skills, a deep understanding of people, and a commitment to delivering results. My favorite part of being a real estate agent is working closely with clients—listening to their needs, understanding their goals, and helping them find a place they truly love to call home.

I describe myself in six words:
Honest • Caring • Enthusiastic • Creative • Professional • Determined

Whether it’s helping you find your dream home or preparing your property to stand out on the market, I’m fully committed to your success. I also have a natural eye for interior design and a background in marketing, which gives me a unique edge when it comes to staging homes and attracting buyers—sometimes even before your listing officially hits the market!

If you're relocating to the Chicago area, I’d be happy to help you explore different neighborhoods and find the right fit for your lifestyle.

A Little More Personally...

I grew up in Palatine, and my husband Craig and I chose to raise our family in Cary and Trout Valley. We love the community and everything this beautiful area has to offer. Our son, Trace, lives in Park City, Utah, where he works in custom home construction, and our daughter, Sage, lives in Denver, Colorado with her husband Jorge—both work in finance.

In my free time, I love boating on the Fox River, golfing at local courses, biking the Prairie Trail, and (my newest passion) playing pickleball! I also enjoy traveling, exploring new places, and—most of all—spending time with family and friends.

bobby vitullo

Michelle is awesome! We were having trouble finding a home that was on market that met our criteria and she ended up finding us a property that wasn't even on the market that we absolutely love. She really put a lot of effort into helping us find what we were looking for.

elizabeth dunlap

Michelle Mackey was a pleasure to work with as our agent both buying a new house and selling our current house. She is a high energy, positive person. She was highly responsive to our calls/emails/ texts at all hours. She worked hard to get us the best possible value for our house. She was very engaged and constantly working to promote the house until it sold.

Michelle did an outstanding job of getting my father's house on the market, and selling it fast at over-asking and over-market price.

Christine L

After Michelle sold our neighbor's house fairly quickly we decided to take the leap and had her over for a consult. She gave us great advice on what improvements were needed prior to listing and we followed her recommendations. The house sold in one day at full list price due, in large part, to her knowledge of sellers interested in our neighborhood. The process went very smoothly with t...

When we first sought Michelle’s help, we were just looking for a rental. But as we looked further into the market we decided to look to buy instead and she switched gears without any hiccups.
