With a background as a TV producer, this University of Michigan graduate has always cared most about connecting with people. Clients come to Fleetwood knowing she will get them to the finish line.

How do you ensure that your personal brand stands out in such a crowded and competitive real estate space?
I think what sets me apart is my authenticity, honesty, and perseverance. I don’t just tell clients what they want to hear. I tell them what they need to hear in order to guide them to making the best decision whether it’s buying or selling.

The luxury market has its own dynamics. How do you tailor your approach when working with high-net-worth individuals or luxury properties?
Luxury isn’t a price point; it’s a level of service. I truly believe this. Whether I’m working with clients on multimillion dollar sales or $200,000 condos, I want them to know I have their best interest in mind and will strive to help them achieve whatever goal they have.

What are some of the most unique or standout properties you’ve ever worked with, and what made them so memorable?
This year I was fortunate enough to work with a client selling her Frank Lloyd Wright home in east Wilmette. I represented her on the purchase in 2021 when she bought it for $635,000. This year, I represented her on the sale. The 1,458 square-foot home received multiple offers and we sold it for $1,001,000. We were also able to secure publicity in Architectural Digest, Dwell, and Crain’s Chicago Business, among other outlets.

How do you set realistic expectations for your clients, particularly when it comes to pricing and timelines?
I do my best to educate them as much as possible on the front end of a transaction and provide a lot of data.
