Annie Coleman,
Managing Broker/Owner
Annie developed her passion for buildings growing up in a Frank Lloyd Wright house in Oak Park. That experience developed her admiration of quality workmanship, attention to how spaces function and flow, and thoughtful design. Annie has lived and owned property in the Ukrainian Village area for over 10 years. She gut renovated a 6-flat which gave her in-depth knowledge about buildings from the inside out.  

Annie has over 8 years of experience working in the financial services to her real estate practice. She has coordinated multi-million dollar projects globally and she brings the same care and attention to detail when assisting you with your local real estate needs. Annie will be there for you every step of the process in buying or selling your home and help you figure out what is right for you.

Annie is a multi-instrumentalist and active member of the Chicago creative community. She is a 3rd generation Chicagoan and resident of Noble Square. 

 
Elizabeth Dudek, Realtor 
direct: 312-498-7378

Before finding her true calling as a real estate professional, Elizabeth collected a skill set uniquely designed to produce a very well-rounded Realtor®. She combines experience as a computer consultant, education in interior design & an extensive background as a real estate assistant for a downtown law office. The result is a relationship-based Realtor® able to bring knowledge, experience, resources & enthusiasm to her clients. She ably assists buyers & sellers in understanding the complexities of the real estate  process at every step. In addition, Elizabeth never forgets that her clients lead active lives outside of real estate & is obliging & flexible to the ever-changing needs & schedules of her clients.

Elizabeth considers herself to be a bit of a Renaissance woman who has enjoyed traveling since she was in the womb (literally). She has dabbled in many careers but her most memorable was as a singing waitress aboard a ship. She loves animals and has 2 cats and 1 dog as roommates and lives in a half duplex in West Bucktown.

 

Richard Holland, Broker Associate
Direct : 773-972-3204

Richard Holland became a Realtor® because of his experience as a  client of LivingRoom Realty. Annie was his Realtor® for the purchase of his home and he was so taken with the ethical business model used by LivingRoom, the counsel provided, and the importance of owning a home, that his experience became a catalyst for a career change. “Any business that so clearly reflects my values and beliefs is something that I need to be involved in.” His extensive experience as a counselor and advocate for thousands of people over the course of his career is an asset that will be of service to LivingRoom’s clients. In addition to being a Realtor®, Richard is an attorney in private practice, an artist, and a podcaster producing and co-hosting the art interview  program “Bad at Sports” weekly since fall of 2005.

He is a resident of Oak Park with his wife and two sons and as the owner of a “fixer-upper” can tell you more than you probably ever want to know about removing lathe and plaster walls and replacing them with drywall.

Sarah is a graduate of both Harrington College of Design and the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. After several years working on large scale education and health care projects for one of America’s largest contract furniture dealers she took up a career drafting real estate (a job that literally took her to almost every neighborhood in Chicago!).

Aside from her Real Estate activities, Sarah is also proud to mind the gallery and help bring interesting and innovative people in for exhibits, performances, lectures and more!
