Whether you are contemplating downsizing, upsizing, rightsizing, or relocating, Compass real estate agents Anna Fiascone and Natalie Ryan will work their hardest to get you home. Before launching a successful real estate career, Ryan worked in media strategy and investment at Leo Burnett in Chicago, followed by a successful publishing career at Marie Claire in New York City. She brings a global mindset and is careful to evaluate each client’s unique priorities through communication and analysis. Fiascone is equally analytical and knows exactly how to focus your search. An astute negotiator and earnest communicator, she has the ability to initiate, negotiate, and close real estate transactions while displaying exemplary credibility and commitment. With a keen sense of space and design, Fiascone will also point you in the winning direction for staging, marketing, and advertising your property. Together, this AFNR Homes dream team is well-equipped to serve your every real estate need.
What would you say is your key to success in this competitive market?
We bridge our extensive knowledge and expertise stemming from professional backgrounds in sales, analytics, marketing, and real estate law to create a multifaceted, winning client experience. We pride ourselves on our ability to create a customized and collaborative partnership with all of our clients. Communication is key.
What are some of the most unique or standout properties you’ve ever worked with, and what made them so memorable?
We had the honor of recently listing a historical R. Harold Zook home. It has been beautifully updated for today’s living but also maintains the historical integrity of its time that makes a Zook home so unique and distinctive—including the famous signature spider web detail, exposed wooden beams, and chevron paneling. Truly one of a kind and so special to be a part of passing on a historic property.
What books, podcasts, or resources have had the most impact on your career and why?
We have a passion for keeping current with an array of mediums to best engage with our clients on a national and hyperlocal level. We certainly get a kick out of listening to the podcast Crazy Sh*t in Real Estate with Leigh Brown! Sometimes we jump out of our comfort zone and share our knowledge by participating in podcasts or TV programming. Catch us on American Dream TV: Selling Chicago and also the Clear Conversations Podcast: Entrepreneurial Legacies.
