Every day I'm helping people either buy or sell one of their biggest investments – navigating the stress, the market, the personalities, and the protocol – and I am loving every second of it.
Melanie (Mel) Gurel's love affair with real estate began nearly 20 years ago. She currently resides in Buffalo Grove with her family. From Lincoln Park to Rogers Park, from Wheeling to Round Lake, and back again – Mel has navigated many markets and property transactions.
With kids currently enrolled at Stevenson High School District 125 (as well as Kildeer Consolidated School District 96), she knows all the amenities available to this special community and the value they bring to new residents. Stevenson High School has an enrollment of over 4,000 students – and each neighborhood and subdivision in its district is as unique as the next. There are also several K-8 districts that span many communities that feed into D125. If you are new to the area, it can be overwhelming!
Add to this, the many other excellent school districts in the surrounding area, and it is no wonder that many parents are looking for help discerning their boundaries and familiarizing themselves with both established and new subdivisions. Mel is here to help!
Mel's background in the arts, including writing and graphic design is a skillset that directly benefits her sellers. She knows what looks good and what sells. Your home is the product that will be ready for any market – and the goal is always to get the best price in the shortest amount of time.
For buyers, she offers patience and a commitment to drive the transaction forward to get them into the home of their dreams as painlessly as possible. Yes, there are lots of moving parts and many personalities, but Mel will make sure you are informed, empowered, and ready to close the deal.
Whatever your real estate goals – to be a landlord or a tenant, a first-time buyer, or a last-time seller - Mel Gurel is here to represent you happily and professionally.
Mel looks forward to a long career with @properties Christie's International Real Estate – a market leader anywhere you look in the Chicagoland area, with national and international reach as well. The best part about being a REALTOR® here is being able to help all kinds of people find their way home – everywhere.
