I was raised in Wisconsin and moved to Roscoe in 1989. I married my husband, Rick in Kauai, Hawaii in 1988 and I have four children, Cameron, Derrick, Courtney, and Kyle. For 25 years I owned and operated a state licensed service focused business. I completed my education in real estate and then passed both the Illinois state exam and the national exam in 2014. I knew the company I wanted to work with would be Century 21 Affiliated. The reasons are that it is the most recognized name in the business, the support plus advanced tools and systems offered to me, and the advantages my clients would have. I possess an extensive knowledge of the many cities and towns I service. I share that knowledge with my clients to make their home buying and selling experience a comfortable one. I take pride in my quick response time, my ability to communicate and to be a good listener, attention to every detail of the transaction, negotiate the best possible outcome on behalf of my clients, my understanding of my client's needs and expectations, along with the professional manner with which I interact with the people involved in each sale. Helping home buyers and sellers with their largest investment is a responsibility that I take very seriously. My goal is to protect your investment with my in-depth knowledge of the northern Illinois real estate market and my expert skills as a Realtor. I will provide unparalleled customer service that builds lasting relationships. I am currently the office Mentor for new agents at both our Roscoe and Rockford offices. Passing on my knowledge and experience to new Realtors is something I am very passionate about.
