While searching for her first home in the 1990s, Dee first discovered her true love of real estate and design. After a challenging search in looking for her first Chicago home, Dee stumbled upon a dilapidated 3-unit building that was over one hundred years old but in one of city's prime neighborhoods. She decided to take this challenge and create an opportunity by trying her hand at converting the multi-unit building into a single-family home. While Dee faced some hurdles throughout the renovation process, she leveraged her extensive project management expertise and successfully completed the project in only seven months. Once the project was complete, Dee found her calling and continued her pursuit of additional real estate projects. She eventually earned her real estate broker's and general contractor's licenses and the future of Urbane Home was off and running!
One of the key factors that has helped differentiate Urbane Home from competitors is the organization's attention to detail. With every property that Dee Thompson engages, she and her team take the utmost care and pride to add to the beauty of Chicago, an architectural rich town in its own right. Dee recognizes that her clients are extraordinary, and they want each property to reflect how much Urbane Home cares about its craft.
Giving back to the community is also a significant part of Urbane Home's philosophy. Dee believes in supporting organizations that help the community. One organization the Urbane Home has supported over the years is CARA, which focuses on helping those affected by poverty and homelessness by providing job training and other services to assist individuals and families in bettering their lives. Dee Thompson's involvement with charitable work has taught her many lessons in gratitude, and she looks forward to continuing to help out the Chicago community.
