THE MAWICKE GROUP

The Mawicke Group is a second-generation real estate firm serving the North Shore and Chicago. Licensed brokers for more than 20 years, the brother–sister team, Megan Mawicke Bradley and John Mawicke, bring their deep knowledge of the area to their client relationships. They also bring extensive prior experience working—John, in the financial industry, working for major investment banks and Megan, as a Network TV anchor for 22 years—which affords them valuable communication and business skills.

What do you like most about real estate?

For us … it is about people first! We love meeting new people every day. We spend a lot of time with both buyers and sellers, and it is very gratifying when you cross the agent /client line and become friends.

How do you differentiate yourself from the competition?

The Mawicke Group has a nearly 50-year legacy with a mission of serving clients. Unlike a large percentage of agents, we grew up on the North Shore. We know the neighborhoods, the schools and this market like the back of our hands. We are so passionate about our community and that shines through in everything we do.

Market trends you anticipate in 2023?

The trend of moving from the city to suburbs remains real and will continue to support the market. The North Shore is well positioned relative to many other parts of the country. Inventory is still at historic lows and this will balance out the increase in interest rates. The frenzy of the last two years might be over, but we are still seeing tremendous buyer demand for updated and well-priced homes!

Areas of the home should one invest in?

Curb appeal is huge! Invest in the exterior of your home. Updated and spacious mudrooms and laundry rooms are also becoming one of the biggest requests we see.
