 Ready to sell your kitchen? Contact us to make arrangements.

Little Green Kitchens is Chicagoland’s first luxury kitchen broker. 

We specialize in the brokerage of complete luxury kitchens (cabinets, appliances, countertops, faucets, sinks, etc.).

Since 2017, we’ve helped homeowners sell their existing kitchens before they embark on a remodel.

If you’re looking to upgrade your kitchen, call us first. We’ll come out to assess value, photograph and measure and will then market your kitchen to get you the highest dollar.

We’ll also take care of communication with buyers, written agreements and will facilitate the exchange of funds.

We’re typically able to coordinate the pick up of your old kitchen the same day it is removed.

Kitchen Renovation Expert

Little Green Kitchens was founded in 2015 by Amy Mayer.  In 2014 Amy found herself at the start of her own kitchen renovation, looking to attempt both the most green renovation possible and trim her budget without sacrificing style or quality. Utilizing a luxury kitchen slated for removal allowed Amy to accomplish both of these goals with flourish; and permitted the other homeowner to change the style of their space.  Amy’s experience in the resale business runs deep, having started and run the company ExpressDrop Inc., Chicagoland's first eBay drop-off store for six years. During this time, Amy became an expert in assessing value and marketing items online from household appliances to high-end fashion.  She was featured in a number of books written on eBay PowerSellers, and gave advanced education classes teaching others how to market their items online.  Amy currently lives and works in Highland Park, IL with her supportive, techie husband and two young children.
