It feels so good to be HOME! I grew up in Southern Illinois and I have always carried this place in my heart! I grew up with a family of hunters, campers, fishermen and outdoorsmen. I have lived out that passion in Colorado for the past 30 years, now I’m ready to live my dreams back in Illinois… life on the lake, camping, fishing, and helping people buy real estate. After 17 years of selling in Colorado, I am now able to help you buy and sell in Illinois, as well.I raised 3 girls in Colorado, but I’ve always shared my love of Illinois with them. I have missed the seasons, and the simplicity of small-town living. Loving the place you live in, makes it easy to be passionate about a job like real estate. One of the reasons for my success so far, has been the relationships I build with my clients. My ability to listen and connect comes directly from being raised in such an amazing town. The people and the experiences are what shaped me.I have been in real estate for nearly two decades and I have a strong philosophy about serving my clients. When you work with me, you’re more than just a name and a transaction. You become family. I have received a lot of designations but the one that means the most is the 5280 5 Star Award! I have been a winner of this award since 2016 and it’s based solely on your overall sales performance with your clients.When you work with me, know that you’ll have an advocate. You’ll have someone who fights for what you need and speaks up for what’s important to you. You’ll have someone who is armed with the knowledge and experience you need and with the fervor and fight you want. You’ll have someone who will respond to you, who’ll work for you, and who will find the answers you need.Together, we achieve your goals of home ownership – and have fun in the process! I do whatever it takes – through listening, understanding, connecting, and delivering – to be your voice in real estate and to get the job done right.
