Instills Confidence and Loyalty

She systematically guides her buyers and sellers through each stage of the selling/purchasing process to make sure they are confident in their decisions.  She is quick to obtain any information wanted  or needed from the building/zoning departments, to scout the schools for special education and program needs, to gather park district and community information to make sure her clients are well informed.  One seller and consequent buyer was so impressed, he took out an ad for her in the local paper to show his appreciation for her attention to detail and her dedicated personalized service. Jeanne's clients and their business are important to her and she shows it.  As one former buyer stated, "Jeanne had all the information I wanted before I even thought of it myself."

Service Areas

Jeanne is unique in being well versed not only in her own local North Shore market area, all along Lake Michigan,  but also in Chicago, the Northwestern suburbs, and the Northern suburbs.There is no community out-of-her-reach.  She takes pride in researching the communities and offering top service no matter where she goes.  She knows that it is important  and easier for buyers to work with one agent they trust in all the areas they want to explore, and she devotes herself to providing that service.  Chicago, Evanston, Wilmette, Kenilworth, Winnetka, Glencoe, Highland Park, Lake Forest, Lake Bluff, Waukegan, Northbrook, Deerfield, Glenview, Lincolnshire, Palatine, Mount Prospect, Libertyville, Buffalo Grove, Long Grove, Hoffman Estates, Barrington, Bartlett, Hinsdale, and Belvidere are just a few of the many places she has listed and sold properties.

Special Considerations

Jeanne appreciates the special requests and needs of senior citizens who want to include other family members in the sale or purchase of a home or the desire of young people, buying their first home, who want to include their parents in the process.  She happily takes the extra time to keep all family members informed of the market and purchasing/selling process.  Buying or selling a house is a major life decision so she welcomes the opportunity to customize the process to suit everyone's needs.
