POWER PRODUCERS

By Kemmie Ryan

POWER PRODUCERS

Sylvia Kos & Julie Bouchard

For SYLVIA KOS, real estate was a passion from a young age, and grew from watching her father build homes in Hinsdale and Burr Ridge. Today, she specializes in the Western Suburbs, inspired by the community where she grew up. Her partner at Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Chicago in Hinsdale, JULIE BOUCHARD, is also extremely passionate about her work and she shares her enthusiasm with customers and clients without adding pressure or stress to their real estate experience. As a repeat and experience homeowner herself, Julie has first-hand knowledge of the buying and selling process and educates her clients so they can make confident, informed decisions.

Who is your role model?

We find so much inspiration in our community, from the friends and family that give back in their daily lives to the moms that balance raising families with bringing their passion to work.

What is your best networking advice?

Everyone you meet in this community has a story of value, and you never know where that first conversation will lead. Be open to it and wear a smile on your face, always.

What is your fashion style?

Julie: Classic with an edge.

Sylvia: I’m all about looking sharp while working hard. Comfort is a big part of my style. I love rocking a trendy dress or blazer and pairing it with designer sneakers.

What advice would you give to future Power Women

We’ve only just begun! There are so many inspirational women in the Western Suburbs, and we’re honored to call many of them friends and peers. I think we should build each other up, and our advice is to support a friend in need, even when it takes time out of your busy day. And of course, never be afraid to ask for help!
