TRANSFORMING HOMES

With years of experience at the Walt Disney Company and Michelin-starred Everest Restaurant in Chicago, AMY CHUNG knows the importance of service and the human element of real estate. “As Realtors, we are not just helping buy and sell homes but helping people transform their lives,” says Chung, who works with her husband as part of the Dave + Amy Chung real estate team at Compass. “Service and community are invaluable elements of the home-buying process that inspire hope and a sense of possibility.” She helps her clients literally transform homes, bringing an unexpected yet inspired skillset to the buying and selling process. Her eye for elegant form and straightforward function inspires calm, sophisticated, and highly livable interiors. From space planning to staging, using her personal staging warehouse, Chung helps sellers organize, prepare, and present exactly what potential buyers are looking for.

Most rewarding part of what you do? In real estate, you don’t just sell homes. You need to use every skill you have ever learned, from home repairs to housekeeping to landscaping to design and architecture. It is so rewarding to use my personal life experiences to help my clients move forward in their journey.

How should women support other women? It’s about creating space for each other to speak and be authentic. We don’t have to agree on everything, but allowing each other to voice our thoughts without judgment or competition is incredibly valuable.

Powerful woman you admire the most? I’ve been fortunate to work alongside many female mentors who have inspired me with their determination, hard work, and passion for helping others. They aren’t well known to the world, but they never stop pursuing their dreams while caring for their families and serving their communities.
