Melissa Stanley opened her own real estate brokerage, Niche Realty, in 2007. In 2010, she decided to find her own unique niche and created ArtHouseChicago. The ArtHouse Chicago Brand specifically for artists and unique spaces. This was a chance for Ms. Stanley to combine her love of architecture and real estate. She has now joined forces with Real Estate Brokerage Baird & Warner.
