In a fast moving and competitive market, it is in your best interests to work with an experienced and well-connected professional to get you RESULTS.  As a 35 year North Shore resident with 20 years of real estate experience, I am just the one to assist you. I have closed over 138 million in North Shore home sales alone, with 90 million of that in Winnetka. I am honored to be the recipient of Chicago Magazine's Five Star Professional Award-nominated by my clients- for 9 consecutive years, 2014 thru 2022 and a Road to Rolex recipient by @properties in 2017 for sales volume excellence.  My business is conducted with integrity, expertise, enthusiasm and excellence.  My previous career as a buyer for Marshall Fields gave me a llfelong love for the analytical components and design and communication elements that are also key components to my success- and to your success. I would love to assist you in your purchase or sale of a home.

I am passionate about my love for the North Shore and the real estate here. The wide variety of architectural styles, different neighborhoods, cute downtowns, great restaurants ( yes, there are some really great restaurants in the North Shore!) beautiful parks, fabulous schools, proximity to the lake and to downtown Chicago- I love it all! My husband, Dan, and I have made Winnetka our home since moving from the city in 1985.  Having raised our 3 kids- now young adults living in the city and the North Shore, I am very well versed in the New Trier communities in particular- the schools, neighborhoods, parks, amenities and just about anything else you might want or need to know. After numerous years as a community volunteer (Winnetka caucus schools and parks committee, Winnetka Park District board member, Winnetka Parks Foundation Board member, Greeley PTA President, New Trier Booster Club member, JPA Auxiliary Board member and more), I decided that my love of the North Shore and knowledge of the schools and neighborhoods might serve me well as a real estate agent. When I am not working with clients, I enjoy my work as an Auxiliary Board Member of Misericordia, playing paddle, tennis and going to Salt Fitness. I love spending time with family and friends, entertaining, going out to eat, reading a great book and traveling- Cape Cod is a favorite destination.

My Goal as your Agent

Simply Sensational Service is what I pride myself on delivering to each and every one of my clients. I understand how important it is for my buyers and sellers to feel that they are receiving the attention they need and deserve throughout the entire process. My role as your agent is to make the emotional and stressful processes of buying and selling a home as seamless, painless and hopefully as enjoyable as possible. We are a team. It is my responsibility to guide you through every step with honesty, integrity, attentiveness, insight, professionalism and patience in order to get you to the finish line. I work with an excellent, well established team of mortgage brokers, real estate attorneys, professional inspectors, marketing and advertising coordinators, stagers and expert photographers. I provide my clients with an extensive list of resources for all your needs. Quite simply, I will take you from A to Z throughout the entire process, and that doesn't stop when the house sale has closed. Many of my clients end up being good friends. 

 The greatest reward I receive as a real estate consultant is the referral and repeat clients who represent the majority of my business.

It would be an honor and a pleasure to represent you with your real estate needs.  I look forward to working with you!
