About Gretchen
That’s the kind of Realtor I work hard to be.
I’m hands-on from day one. When I’m selling your home, I’ll help you look at it through a buyer’s eyes and determine what we can do to make it stand out. That may mean preparing and staging the home, coordinating trusted professionals, developing the right pricing strategy and creating a marketing plan designed to reach the largest possible pool of buyers.
My listings receive professional marketing that can include photography, video, 3D tours, digital and social media marketing and today’s best real estate technology. But technology is only part of my approach. I’m also the person with my feet on the ground following up and solving problems, communicating, negotiating and making sure the details don’t fall through the cracks.
For my buyers, my approach is just as personal. I listen. I educate. I don’t pressure you into buying a home simply to make a sale. Whether it takes a week or much longer to find the right home, I’ll be there to give you straightforward advice, help you understand the market and advocate for your best interests when it’s time to make a move.
My clients have described me as responsive, patient, knowledgeable, organized, caring and “one step ahead.” Those words mean a great deal to me because that’s exactly how I want people to feel when they work with me.
Real estate transactions can be exciting, stressful and sometimes complicated. My job is to anticipate what’s coming, solve problems when they arise and make the process feel as manageable as possible.
I don’t just market homes. I take care of people.
If you’re considering buying or selling in Naperville or the Chicagoland area, I’d love the opportunity to sit down, listen to what you’re trying to accomplish and talk about how I can help.

Gretchen's Reviews

"Gretchen Ashley is a phenomenal agent! She helped me sell in Aurora (setting a neighborhood record final price!) and buy in Huntley. Her marketing platforms, 3D tours, and social media reach are unmatched. Gretchen is hands-on, a great negotiator, and guides you step-by-step with clear communication. She is an expert at finding exactly what you need, plus she’s funny and wonderful to work with. She goes completely above and beyond—highly recommend Option Premier!"

Gretchen is the absolute best agent in Naperville. Within two days of listing the house with her she sold it - above asking too. We’re very grateful Gretchen sold our home quickly, efficiently and with a qualified buyer. We highly recommend her, without question!

Hi Sangeeta,
Gretchen was an absolute pleasure to work with. She went above and beyond to help us prepare and stage our home, ensuring it was presented at its very best. Her deep knowledge of the local market and thoughtful pricing strategy gave us confidence throughout the entire process.
Thanks to her dedication, attention to detail, and expert guidance, our home sold quickly and received multiple offers. Gretchen was consistently responsive, professional, and genuinely invested in our success. She was always available to answer questions and expertly managed every step of the transaction. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.
