Why you love what you do? I enjoy meeting new people and helping them find their dream home. It is also rewarding to get referrals from friends, family, and previous clients.

What sets you apart from your competition? I am a top producer because of my experience, proven ability to build long-term client relationships based on results, and negotiating skills in closing transactions. Also, I make sure the information and photos of my listings are extensive, thorough, and complete.

Best thing about 2021 was? Watching my clients get so excited when we found the perfect home, especially after negotiating in a multiple-offer situation.

Past trends you’d like to see return? I miss attending brokers open houses, where I could talk with my colleagues and preview the homes on the market for my clients.

Most looking forward to in 2022? I’m looking forward to advancing my career by working in a collegial environment with @properties agents, and making the most of the advanced tools and resources the company offers its agents and clients.

Geri McCafferty is with @properties in Hinsdale. For more information, call 708-431-6635 or visit [email protected].
