Kimberly Kappelman

Kim began her career as a CPA in public accounting. Though not directly real estate related, she had several custom home building clients which triggered her interest in real estate. She left public accounting to work for a Real Estate Investment trust where she primarily valued commercial retail properties. In 2013 Kim and her husband started a real estate development company, Tri Homes Today, where they renovate and construct properties in the Chicago area. When this business started taking off, she decided to leave the Corporate America “rat race” to pursue a full-time career in real estate and obtained her real estate license in 2015. Kim found her passion in working with clients to buy and sell properties. Kim prides herself on her ability to help her clients find properties that are not only going to make a great home, but also a great investment for their future. Kim has a keen sense of design and assists her clients in seeing a vision of what a property could be and how to build equity through taking on renovations. Kim also utilizes her design skills to assist her listing clients with staging and renovating their properties in preparation for listing which gives her clients the best opportunity of selling quickly and for more money. Kim started an interior design firm, Studio MAK, which is the perfect complement to her residential real estate business.
