BRANDIE MALAY SIAVELIS, an award-winning broker with @properties Christie’s International Real Estate, has built a reputation on her ability to deliver results and present a home that’s staged to sell. After two decades in real estate and more than $400 million in closed transactions, she is consistently selling her clients’ properties faster and for more money— and people are paying attention. The combo of her market expertise and eye for design has earned her spots as the real estate expert on such HGTV shows as Designed to Sell and Hidden Potential, as well as Property Envy on Bravo. She has also appeared as a guest on the Today Show, CNBC, and Fox Business News. With expertise in both Illinois and Wisconsin, Siavelis serves a diverse range of clients, but especially loves opening doors to homeowners who want to plant roots where Siavelis personally calls home and raises her own family—the North Shore and Lake Geneva.
