Cara Golec

Cara grew up in the northwest suburbs and has been a resident of Barrington for 23 years. She joins her mother, Kerry Franze, a top-producing agent, as part of Franze Golec Real Estate with @properties. Cara brings over 10 years of experience with successful network media sales in downtown Chicago and the North Shore, followed by 10 years as a senior producer in experiential marketing, where she managed and executed high-profile events throughout the country on behalf of Stella Artois.

Cara's versatile background – her expertise in marketing, her ability to manage large-scale projects, and her personalized approach – make her a perfect fit for the real estate industry. She understands that every client has unique needs, and she tailors her approach to ensure that the client's best interest is always her #1 priority. To Cara, working with clients to achieve their goals is both a privilege and a reward. This client-centric approach allowed Cara to sell her first home in only 4 days during her second week as an agent. By using strong negotiation skills along with the cutting-edge resources provided by @properties, Cara helps her clients navigate the real estate market with one aim in mind: to make buying and selling property a seamless experience.

As a trusted advisor for clients in the Chicagoland area, Cara is also a proud member of NSBAR (North Shore Barrington Association of REALTORS). She is committed to involvement in both the local and global communities, supporting Chicago-area businesses while at the same time raising funds for Hands of Hope, an organization that works to improve education, agriculture, and health care in Africa.
