about us
Our concept is simple:

We bring together modernist homes and

people who love unique architecture. 
Buy
Are you looking for a modernist home? We continuously scout the Chicago area for unique architecture. We have hundreds of modernist dwellings in our database and we are adding new homes every week. 

As licensed realtors, we represent you as buyer’s agents, guiding you through the real estate transaction. Specializing in modernist architecture and design, we can find you an historic architectural landmark or a new home built by a contemporary architect. We sell homes with clean lines, open living spaces that flow into one another, and with a prominent indoor-outdoor relationship - ideas essential to modernism. 

Modernism is accessible. Modern-designed abodes in the Chicago area range from magnificent beach estates to very affordable ranch homes with great potential to bring back their mid-century modern glamour.

Engaging our network of architects, interior designers, preservationists, and fellow modernists, we can consult you in restoring your architecturally significant home true to its original design and era. 

Sell
List your modern home with us. As seller's agents we market your unique property specifically to a design-conscious audience. We can find the right buyer who will appreciate and preserve the architectural integrity of your home.

Above and beyond the classic marketing of your property (MLS, realtor.com, Chicago Tribune print + online, Craig’s List, etc), we will implement specialized marketing strategies to reach modernists and architecture enthusiasts. Unique properties take special buyers.

By listing your home with Modernist Dwellings you also benefit from our collateral marketing to the modernist audience. We market to Dwell magazine readers, advertise in the Modernism magazine and on various modernism websites, including GoMod.com. We market to people who already live in a modernist house or condo — and who might have fellow friends of good architecture looking for a unique home. We are prominently positioned on Google and other major search engines where buyers searching for modern homes can easily spot us.
