For Matt Laricy, owner of Laricy (formerly the Matt Laricy Group), the housing market shift was not only anticipated but welcomed. Positioned as one of the top real estate companies in the Midwest and ranking very well nationally, with its headquarters based in Chicago, Laricy specializes in the condominium market with listings ranging from $150,000 to $10+ million. The firm has a corner on the condo market and a unique vantage point to capitalize on the changing U.S. housing market conditions. “I sell mostly in downtown markets in Chicago, and downtown Chicago pretty much encompasses the South Loop up until the Edgewater area and then north center down to the West Loop,” Matt details. Tracing its origins back to the late 1970s, Laricy has become a boutique company and leads the real estate pack when it comes to specializing in buying and selling condos of various sizes within the city limits of Chicago. “My company was started in 1978 by my father in the south side of Chicago. That’s where I started with it. We took the company downtown in 2008, and we are making very big waves in the industry here in Chicago,” Matt describes.
