Tell us about your business/organization.
I’m a Realtor with Coldwell Banker and grateful to have helped over 700 clients in my career all over Northwest and Northshore suburbs. I lead a small team and we take care of our clients like family!! Clients that work with us feel supported and communication is a big I thing we are known for, among other things -like social media presence that helps my clients get much more exposure for their homes.
What do you do in your position?
To simplify it, I talk all day haha! I talk with attorneys, lenders, buyers, sellers, agents, inspectors, appraisers, and so many other people 🙂 It’s a people business!
Why do you love your job?
It’s fun and still challenging in different ways and it keeps me on my toes!
What else would you like us to know about your business?
We have over 250 five star reviews on Zillow and Google and would love to help you with the move.
What is your favorite thing about the Libertyville Area Moms Network?
Their recommendations! Would love to start monthly networking meetings as well!
What are one or two fun facts about yourself?
I’m a twin mom and twins don’t run in our family, which was such a surprise and such a blessing for us! Because I’m a realtor, I see hundreds if not thousands of homes every year, so I constantly find ideas of how we could be improving our home – my husband is amused at all the ideas I can come up with and has the right to veto.
Are you involved in any volunteering or philanthropy? Do you have a favorite local non-profit or charity?
Absolutely!! I love supporting Journeys the Road Home in Palatine. It’s such a great organization that supports vulnerable members of our community. Providing them daily necessities and shelter in the winter.
Can you share with us a past or present struggle in your personal or professional life? Please also share how you overcame it.
I started real estate really young, when I was in my 20s, and the biggest struggle was to convince my clients that I was qualified for the job to help them with home purchase or home sale. The market back in 2013 was not the way it is right now and homes took months to sell. So I have built my business based on being proactive and going above and beyond of what’s traditionally done to make sure I get the best result for my clients.
