About Me
I am a results oriented professional with a warm and friendly approach to selling real estate. I have lived in the Western Suburbs, (specifically Lisle, Woodridge and Downers Grove), since 1986, and have happily worked with clients everywhere from Chicago to Plainfield. I earned a spot in the Vice President's Club as a top producer for 2012.
My background includes a BS degree in Marketing from the University of Tennessee, and 13 years of retail management experience, both store level and corporate. I was licensed in 2005, and have built a successful real estate business in a tough market. I love that I can use my marketing skills to help sell homes, and my customer service skills to work with buyers and negotiate deals. Outside of the office, I enjoy cheering on my two favorite athletes, (my children), reading, and cruise nights with my car-enthusiast husband during the summer.
In 2007 I joined Baird and Warner's Relocation team. As someone who moved here myself as an adult I have a unique perspective for people relocating from other areas.
In 2009, I earned my CREN designation which is: Certified Real Estate Negotiator. I have learned valuable techniques to help get the best deals for my clients.
Also in 2009, I earned the SFR designation: Short Sale and Foreclosure Resource, allowing me to help homeowners navigate through that complicated selling process.
Since the market and this business is constantly changing, I continue to take classes so that I can stay on top of trends, laws and techniques to help me best serve my clients.
My promise to each of my clients is that I will always keep your best interests at heart. I thrive on every aspect of this business; marketing homes, matching buyers with the right properties and the satisfaction that comes with guiding my clients through every transaction.
- Member of the National Association of Realtors, Illinois Association of Realtors, Main Street Organization of Realtors and the Multiple Listing Service of Illinois.
