KATHRYN BADER MANGEL and KELLY O’CONNELL MANGEL have been friends and teammates since grade school when they met on the first Wilmette All-Star softball team. Now, with more than 30 years of combined North Shore real estate experience, they have the home field advantage as senior real estate brokers with Team Mangel, @properties. Combining their winning, solution-oriented attitude, a proven 24/7 customer service approach, and an influential real estate network that delivers results, Team Mangel excels as consultants, advisors, and brokers on Chicago’s North Shore. They both say of their mothers, “Dianne Bader and Helen O’Connell have always been our role models. Both working women, they taught us the art of balancing successful work and family.” They also know their corporate training at IBM and Aon Corporation provides an unmatched level of management experience that is embedded in every client’s game plan. Describing their daily business attire as “on the go,” they proudly wear their @properties “Road to Rolex” watches along with Veronica Beard jackets and vintage jewelry, layering dressy clothes with comfort and lululemon because, they never know when they might move furniture, sell a house, or both, in the same day. Cuing off the Wayne Gretzky quote, Team Mangel’s positive attitude is “Go for it! We love where we work and what we do!”
