Why do you love what you do? First and foremost, we love our community, and we love sharing it with others. We relish every chance we have to move a client to a new beginning, whether that is finding them the perfect new home that ticks all the boxes, helping them market and sell their current home in the most compelling way possible, or in many cases, both!

2020 was a success due to? We were excited to join Compass and open the brokerage’s flagship office in Lake Forest and Lake Bluff under the Baker McNicholas Group banner. Compass has state-of-the-art real estate technology solutions, and best-in-class marketing tools that allow our clients to stand out and move quickly.

Highlight of your 2020 volume? $55 million in closed sales. It was a year that we found great success in being creative because of the pandemic.
