Excellent Resources and Vendors

Despite having been in the real estate industry for over 25 years in the La Grange Park area, I am always on the hunt for the best resources for my clients. Whether you are a buyer, seller or renter, I always want you to feel that I am working in the best interests of customers and clients. One of the real joys I have had as a real estate agent over the years is that of seeing people grow in the community as I have. Second to that is seeing the very towns I love expand in their own right.

As a fellow resident, I take great pride in our flourishing downtowns along the BNSF Metra Railway. I’ve seen new construction projects rejuvenate Ogden Avenue and La Grange Road/Mannheim Road. Highways have been widened to allow for better access to O’Hare and Midway airports. And a growth of little known eateries in downtown La Grange has become the “go to” spot for local foodies.

As a Realtor® with Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage, I have a collection of resources at my disposal, but it’s not enough. I truly strive to support each and every client when making that decision towards the next step in your life. My services don’t stop there, however, as I know that home ownership goes beyond the completion of a transaction. For this reason, I’ve put together a helpful list of excellent resources and vendors.

My local knowledge and extensive real estate experience will benefit you whether you are serious about buying or selling a home at this time, or are a returning client in need of one of the many homeowner resources I offer. Remember, I’m just a call, email, or drive away. I’m here to be your guide—the “Golden Rule” Realtor® you can rely on.
