For more than 33 years, I've had the privilege of helping individuals and families navigate one of life's biggest decisions-buying and selling a home. Since beginning my real estate career in 1993, I've built my business on honesty, integrity, exceptional service, and a genuine commitment to putting my clients first.
As a REALTOR® with @properties Christie's International Real Estate, I proudly serve Des Plaines and the Northwest suburbs of Chicago, helping buyers, sellers, seniors, investors, and families through every stage of life's transitions. Whether you're purchasing your first home, moving up, downsizing, relocating, or helping a loved one make their next move, I'm here to guide you with experience, patience, and personalized attention.
I believe every client deserves more than just a real estate transaction-they deserve a trusted advisor. My goal is to make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible while protecting your interests every step of the way. Over the years, I've developed a network of trusted professionals, from movers and contractors to attorneys and estate specialists, allowing me to provide comprehensive support well beyond the sale.
Helping seniors and their families has become one of my greatest passions. As a Senior Real Estate Specialist (SRES®), I understand the unique challenges that come with downsizing, transitioning to a 55+ community, moving closer to family, or planning the next chapter of life. I believe these moves deserve compassion, thoughtful guidance, and someone who truly listens.
I'm committed to continuing education and regularly attend professional training to stay ahead of market trends, technology, and negotiation strategies. My professional designations include SRES®, ABR®, SRS®, CIPS®, SFR®, e-PRO®, and MRP®, giving my clients the benefit of specialized knowledge and expertise.
Beyond real estate, I'm proud to be an active volunteer in my community - a Rotarian, a board member of the GENCenter, a board member of the Maine Township High School Foundation, and involved with my local Chamber of Commerce. I served as a board member of District 62 for 15 years - I believe everyone should have the opportunity to have a quality education. Giving back and building meaningful relationships has always been an important part of who I am.
When you choose to work with me, you're choosing someone who will listen carefully, communicate openly, advocate for your best interests, and treat your goals as if they were my own.
EXPERIENCED | TRUSTED | HERE FOR YOU
I look forward to helping you love where you live.
