About Michaela Cavanagh

The same passion and drive that helped Michaela compete in multiple triathlons, helps her real estate clients achieve their goals each and every day – something engrained in Michaela during her time at a top Chicago luxury real estate team. Michaela’s passion to succeed is only matched by her desire to help people – exemplified by her time at Trunk Club, a Chicago-based fashion brand. Michaela quickly climbed to the top 10% of stylists, driven by her desire to help people look and feel their best. For Michaela, people don’t remember what you say, but how you make them feel. Originally from New Jersey, and having also lived in Boulder and Austin, Michaela saw firsthand how much a person’s environment can impact their quality of life. Michaela ultimately settled in Chicago because in her heart she was born a Midwesterner, and Edgebrook is the perfect combination of open natural spaces with close proximity to downtown. She also recently completed a full gut rehab of her Edgebrook home, obtaining the equivalent of a “master’s degree in home purchase and remodel.” Now she uses her experience to help clients make educated real estate decisions, including a strong knowledge of construction quality, age and resale value. Michaela considers herself a matchmaker for her clients, not only to their dream homes but to endless possibilities. Helping each of her clients envision and then achieve goals means advocacy, organization, and a creative mind to see the true potential. When she is not working, Michaela loves to spend time in the kitchen creating new recipes. Always taking things to the next level, Michaela recently released a digital cookbook of her favorite recipes, along with tried and true favorites from friends and family.
