EMMA O’DONNELL and CLAUDINE SCHRAMKO spearhead the Schramko Residential team at Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Chicago. Actively involved in both the Hinsdale office and the Chicago office, this pair proudly serves their clients in both the suburbs and the city. People proclaim that real estate is a relationship business, but this tag team takes it to a new level. Always available and frequently sought for market advice, personal opinions, professional counsel, and representation, O’Donnell and Schramko make their clients No. 1.
What excites you most about the future of your industry? We enjoy the ever-changing environment and nature of the real estate business—how the economy affects our business, our clients’ lives and growth patterns, and building long-lasting relationships that fuel our ability to best serve our clients. Seeing the evolution of client needs and how this shapes the future of our industry is exciting. The client requirement may be a first house, a condominium, a lake house, or a forever home. Helping our clients identify their needs at all stages of their lives is exciting on both a professional and personal level. The future of the real estate industry will always continue to evolve. We are excited to be there for our clients to help navigate the ebb and flow of their needs and guide them through their real estate decisions.
How do you define confidence? Confidence is knowing exactly who you are and discovering how you fit into the world to make it a better place. Confidence gives you the knowledge that in gentility, there is strength, and in kindness, there is power. Achieving dreams is a blessing, and your style is your signature.
What legacy do you hope to leave behind in your professional life? A good name. One that means people chose to come to us. People valued what we had to say, advice we had to give, ways we counseled them, how we represented their best interests, and how we added to the professionalism of the world of real estate.
