My real estate "Why" story began in Chicago, I was 23 years old, a newly wed and fresh out of college. I took the first job that would hire me and became a Customer Service Rep. (I needed to start paying back those student loans). Out of the blue, my husband called a realtor off a sign to inquire about a house. She picked up the phone, gave him the price and scheduled us to come in to her office and discuss our real estate goals. We didn't have a lot of money to put down and didn't have a clue about buying property but after qualifying us, she told us that since my husband was a military veteran, we could buy our home with no down payment. From there she took us by the hand and guided us to the closing table.

She was patient, kind and never seemed to be bothered by our million questions. Working with such a fantastic professional, inspired me to obtain my real estate license, quit my dead-end job and become a Realtor. To this day, 17+ years later, I run my business with the same honesty, integrity and passion that our agent shared with us. I have helped hundreds of buyers and sellers realize their real estate goals. I was born to help people and Real Estate allows me to make an impact in peoples' lives on a daily basis!
