When we started recording Season 1 of Just Call Claudia, I knew we had something special on our hands. From authentic conversations with my colleagues and close friends, to informative discussions with industry professionals, to heart-warming chats with former clients: each episode felt unique and memorable. So when we released our first episode, part 1 of my conversation with my dear friend Nancy Nugent, I was expecting a positive response—but I have been absolutely blown away by the enthusiasm from my listeners!
To thank you for your support, I’m releasing part 2 of Nancy’s and my chat a week early. You can watch the episode on YouTube or listen wherever you get your podcasts. Read more about the episode below, and don’t forget to subscribe so you can get an alert when new episodes are available every other Monday!
In Episode 2 of Just Call Claudia, Nancy and I talk about the challenges and rewards of staging properties and building relationships with our clients. Nancy also covers current trends in real estate and managing differing opinions between her clients and their adult children. And if you listen to the end, you’ll hear the sweet story of how Nancy and I first met!


I would be remiss if I closed out this update without mentioning some highlights from Nancy’s incredible career. Known as a leading expert in the Chicago luxury market and the luxury home market of the North Shore, Nancy’s current affiliation with Jameson Sotheby’s International Realty brings a wealth of diversified experience in the industry and a reputation for excellence in the luxury residential market. She was a top sales agent at two legendary companies, Koenig & Strey and Rubloff. She also owned her own brokerage firm and was Director of Sales for Related Midwest (formerly LR Development Company). She was the leading sales broker for the iconic PARK TOWER, 840 NORTH LAKE SHORE DRIVE and 340 ON THE PARK.
Nancy loves her work and derives great satisfaction in converting clients’ wants and needs into reality. Clients consistently say that she is fun to work with, and I wholeheartedly agree! Find the episode on YouTube or your favorite audio platform to learn much more about Nancy’s background.
A huge thank-you for your ongoing support of Just Call Claudia. Stay tuned for episode 3, my conversation with another dear friend, Lyric Hughes Hale. Lyric’s incredible work on her podcast The Hale Report inspired me to start my own!
