It was through the reflection of Patrice's own experience as a first-time home buyer that led her to real estate.

The ambition and dedication that Patrice brings to the table is unwavering, as she advocates for her clients, prioritizes their needs to ensure they have a clear understanding of the real estate process, and is committed to the primary goal of closing the deal. Suffice it to say, the hallmark of Patrice's real estate philosophy is that her clients walk away entirely satisfied.Patrice was born and raised in Chicago, and earned a B.S. in Family and Child Studies from Northern Illinois University, and a M.A. in Higher Education Administration from Chicago State University.
