I've been building a life in the Chicago area for nearly 20 years. I'm a homeowner, a landlord, and a parent with kids in local schools. I've been the buyer losing sleep over an offer, the seller who second-guessed every decision, and the landlord figuring it out as I went. Whatever side of this process you're on, I've been there too and I know the process well.
Before real estate, I spent years in education and wedding photography. Both taught me the same thing: when the stakes are high and emotions are running strong, the one we are counting on needs to be calm, organized, and three steps ahead. I brought that into every classroom and every wedding event, and I bring it to every real estate transaction.
As a former educator, I value data-driven results, keen listening, and anticipating outcomes before they become obstacles. In real estate that means paying close attention to market data, reading a situation clearly, and keeping you ahead of what's coming.
I work throughout Chicago and the surrounding suburbs, from the north side neighborhoods I've called home for years to the North Shore suburbs I know so well. Being a part of Team Houlihan at @properties Christie's International Real Estate, which means my clients get the depth and resources of an experienced team while working directly with me from start to finish.
Aside from real estate, I'm a neighbor, a parent, and someone who genuinely believes that the people around us make all the difference. I've spent years trying to build the kind of community where everyone feels welcome and valued. That instinct follows me into everything I do.
