Thoughtful DesignMeets Elevated Living

Great design in luxury real estate is more than aesthetics. It shapes how a home is experienced, how it lives, and how it resonates from the very first moment.

One of our most trusted partners in this process is Marcie Blanco, founder of Ma’Am Collective. For more than 15 years, Marcie has been an integral part of how Busby Group prepares and positions homes at the highest level.

Her ability to bring clarity and vision to a space is exceptional. Whether it is reimagining layouts, refining finishes, or layering in thoughtful staging, her work transforms how a home is perceived and experienced.

From paint selection and material guidance to furniture placement and sourcing, Marcie approaches each project with intention and a deep understanding of how luxury buyers think and live. The result is a home that feels cohesive, elevated, and ready to be lived in.

Together, we have collaborated on a range of properties, including the 1100 Lake Shore Drive penthouse, multiple residences within the building, and homes across Bucktown, Lincoln Park, and beyond. Each project reflects a shared focus on presenting every home with purpose and care.

Design, when done thoughtfully, creates a sense of ease for buyers and confidence for sellers. It is one of the ways we help bring a home to life at its fullest potential.
