I've been a full time real estate broker since 2014. In that time I have taken on multiple positions. I have always been a full time real estate agent and I still am. In 2017 I took on the role of Director of Agent Development. It was my job to help train agents and help develop their marketing plans to meet their goals. Part of that role was staying on top of the most current marketing tools and technology to see what could benefit us the most. That position allowed me to help others and stay on the cutting edge of marketing techniques. At the end of 2019 I accepted the role of Designated Managing Broker of our Grayslake office. I am not accountable for all the training, management, and actions of the realtors in my office. This requires me to stay on top of all the current marketing trends, ethics and laws, real estate practices, and lending practices. This has greatly benefited me and my clients as I am constantly learning and applying the newest real estate tools!

I sell homes! Regardless, if you are buying a home or selling a home I can provide you with the most pertinent information which allows you to make an informed decision in the least amount of time and with the least amount of hassle. My customer service is rooted in positive energy, and as a full time agent I can assure that I am available when you need me. Buyers and sellers can be completely confident in my determination and diligence to achieve their goals and get the job done!

I have helped over 2,000+ clients sell or buy properties in IL and WI. The key to my success is open communication and knowledge. I am never too busy to answer their questions. As a listing agent, I go the extra mile to get my clients home Sold, helping them in the staging process, using professional photographers, current updates of the market, and using the marketing program that is best suited for their home. As a buyer's agent, my clients can trust me on my extensive knowledge of the areas, writing, negotiating, recommending good inspectors, attorneys, and loan officers. My goal is to have happy satisfied sellers and buyers during the process and after they leave the closing.
