Eve (pronounced "Ava") Tarm is a former magazine publisher and radio journalist living on Chicago's North Shore. Eve has successfully applied her sales and marketing skills to real estate. Working with some of Chicagoland's best designers and custom home builders at Orren Pickell Designers and Builders has provided Eve with expert knowledge in new construction and the luxury market.
Before entering real estate in 2005, Eve also worked as a professional translator and interpreter assigned to interpret for a host of dignitaries, including several U.S. vice presidents, Russian President Boris Yeltsin and the Dalai Lama.
Having gone through several moves with her family, Eve has a good understanding of what is involved in finding a new home and the right community for your family.
Buying or selling a home requires new kinds of skills. It takes someone who can analyze the ever-changing real estate market; someone with creativity, marketing savvy, empathy and laser-focus on the details. This is what Eve brings. She will be your best advocate and partner. She’ll give you her full attention and dedication.
Here's what Eve's clients say:
"We enthusiastically recommend her...She is personable, detail-oriented, hard-working, and a true professional...with a vast knowledge of the real estate market." -- Jonathan A. Dalton MD and Mirela Dalton
"Eve Tarm is someone you can trust to always keep your best interests in mind. While she has a solid grasp of the big picture in real estate, I am impressed with her attention to the smallest details. What sets Eve apart is that she gives all of her clients 110 percent!"—Selim A. Bassoul, CEO, The Middleby Corporation
Eve took on a difficult assignment to sell a historic house with landmark restrictions. She went above and beyond to develop a marketing plan reflecting the history of the house and attracted over 100 showings of the unique house. She gave good strategic advice on the pricing and negotiation, which led us to get over our asking price due to the multiple bidders competing. We have now listed another property with her. I can't recommend her enough.—Rob Rotering, President, Highland Park Historical Society
"I couldn't imagine anyone selling our property as fast as you did. We had listed with another real estate agent for a year with no results, the problem being that we all knew it was a beautiful home, how come it isn't selling. We now realize how important having the right person marketing our properties is to us."
—Douglas Kasmer, Ravinia Renovations LLC
“Aside from being professional, smart, witty, pleasant, knowledgeable and fastidiously attentive to transactional detail, Eve brings to the table the keen ability to bring a transaction from its initial green sprouts through culmination, offering frank candid advice to her clients and working extremely well with other brokers, her clientele and legal counsel. Bottom line – she goes beyond the expected. I unqualifiedly recommend her.” —David Canmann, Attorney at Law, Canmann & Chaiken
