Your local real estate expert
Growing up in the Chicago area, I am well versed in the residential marketplace throughout DuPage, Suburban Cook, and Kane counties. Utilizing that knowledge, I have been a successful Realtor since 1993. I have been recognized repeatedly as a top producer among BHHS Starck’s nearly 600 Realtors. I am a relocation specialist for my company, and have helped many transferees navigate their move. Most recently, I earned the Honor Society Award from Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices corporate. Throughout the years, I have developed a loyal and growing client base by understanding and meeting the needs of my clients, whether it’s helping them find the right home or the right buyer. Past customers and personal referrals are the cornerstone of my business. I attended Elmhurst College, earning a Bachelor of Arts degree in Elementary Education. Prior to my real estate career, I taught second and third grade for 8 1/2 years, where I honed the skills of patience and attention to detail. The golden rule which I stressed in the classroom continues to be my philosophy governing my real estate career - “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” I have been active in my community as a volunteer for several organizations, including PAWS (Pets are Worth Saving), Almost Home Foundation and DuPage Animal Control. All of these organizations are dedicated to finding homes for abandoned animals. You can be assured I will give you my best. I always work with the best interest of my clients foremost in my mind; on that I give you my most sincere guarantee.
