Real Estate Expert

Beat Cancer and the Competition at the Same Time

uring the holiday season we tend to look back on our year and reflect on where we started to where we finished. But if you’ve been through what Melanie Giglio has, you may reflect a little farther back to appreciate where you came from. The successful lifestyle real estate expert fought through an unexpected miscarriage and overcame her battle with stage 2 breast cancer to not only work in Chicago’s competitive real estate industry but to excel. Her motivation to become a successful realtor was sparked by her own home shopping experience and a will to survive to be there for her only child. We asked Melanie to share her personal story that outlines her journey from getting into the real estate game, to being diagnosed with cancer, to building a successful business. Her path to the top has not only been challenging, but inspirational.
