FAQ
1. What advice would you give a buyer trying to purchase a home?
Our current market requires patience. Have a knowledgeable agent like me to strategize your offer and put in you in the best position.
2. What advice would you give a seller trying to sell their home?
“If you want top dollar, we need your home to look, feel, and function like the best option in your price point. Today’s buyers will pay a premium when they emotionally connect with a home and feel it’s move-in ready. The most important steps are:
• Price strategically — not high; smart. We want to attract competition and create momentum.
• Pre-list prep — small updates (paint, lighting, hardware, landscaping) bring a huge return.
• Declutter & pre-pack — clean, simple spaces photograph bigger and make the home feel elevated.
• Professional photography + media — photos, video, reels, floor plans, and digital reach absolutely impact your final number.
• Timing & market strategy — listing at the right moment creates urgency and buyer traffic.
• Show-ready condition — the homes that sell fastest for the most money all have one thing in common: they show beautifully and feel well cared for.”
3. What types of clients have you worked with?
“I work with a wide range of buyers — first-time buyers, move-up buyers, downsizers, and relocation clients — but the common thread is that they all value guidance. My specialty is helping buyers understand the market, evaluate value, and feel confident in their decisions.”
4. Describe a recent transaction you are fond of. How did it go?
“One transaction that stands out was assisting first-time sellers who were unsure how to prepare their home for the market. I provided a detailed improvement plan, coordinated trusted contractors, and implemented a pre-listing marketing launch to build anticipation. The home attracted exceptional traffic during the first weekend and ultimately sold for well above the sellers’ expectations. It was rewarding to guide them through every step, ease their stress, and help them achieve top-tier financial results.”
5. How did you get started in Real Estate?
“I began my real estate career over 23 years ago after earning a degree in Marketing & Sales. I love architecture. My background in marketing gave me an immediate advantage in understanding how to position homes, communicate value, and build trust with clients. What started as a passion for helping people make smart financial and lifestyle decisions grew into a long-term career built on service, strategy, and results.”
6. Do you have any special education or training that will benefit your clients?
• Bachelor’s Degree in Marketing & Sales
• 23 Years of Real Estate Experience across multiple market cycles, including buyer’s markets, seller’s markets, new construction, luxury, relocation, and distressed-property conditions
• Extensive Continuing Education, including contract law updates, negotiation strategy, fair housing, market analytics, and marketing innovation
• Advanced Marketing & Sales Training, focusing on digital strategy, consumer behavior, and brand positioning
• Ongoing coursework through state-approved real estate education providers and national professional development programs

Beth was extremely helpful through the entire home buying process. As first time home buyers, buying a home in this hot housing market initially felt daunting, but she made it easy! Beth was always quick to respond and get showings scheduled, and knew just how to negotiate to help us find a great home at a very reasonable price. She was also very knowledgeable of the areas we looked at - we highly recommend her!

We have sold and/or purchased three properties with Beth over the past 10 years. Beth has also helped us with securing renters for our rental property. We have been extremely satisfied with each experience. We believe Beth to be committed, thorough and honest. She was always quick to respond and never too busy to address our questions or concerns. Even when our last sale had closed and we had moved, Beth was helpful in contacting our buyer regarding a misdirected delivery and some sentimental items which had been inadvertantly left behind. We will definitely contact Beth again on a future home sale or purchase.

Beth was a tremendous asset to both our buying and selling processes this past spring. Since we were selling at the beginning of COVID, it was a scary time to sell (and negotiate while maintaining leverage) but Beth, and Brett, got our house sold quickly and gave us a ton of peace of mind heading into summer. These two have represented us in four transactions and also found us a renter once upon a time. They have also represented other family members and done a terrific job with them. Thank you both very much!!

She cares about you as her client, but has become a friend to us and our family. Shes easy to get ahold of and keeps you up to date the moment she hears anything. We will never go with another realtor again. We have seen the rest and Beth is the best!!!!

Beth was very professional throughout the process of selling our home. Being a longtime resident of south Naperville herself, she was extremely knowledgeable about the local market within our price point. She also paid close attention to the details (pre-approved buyers for showings, detailed listing w/clear pictures and drone video, etc.) to ensure that the property was listed with maximum effectiveness. End result was our home sold - at a hair under listing price - within the 1st weekend it was on the market. I would recommend Beth to anyone looking to sell their home in south Naperville!

She has so much experience and knew exactly what we needed to do to sell our home. We sold in 30 days during the winter, which we were extremely pleased with. I just really cannot say enough good things about her. You will not be disappointed.

Before choosing a real estate agent, I researched to see who would be a good choice to ensure the sale would be good. I went through a realestate firm and Beth Schooenberg's name/firm was mentioned. I decided to go with John Greene because of their reputation. THe sale went smooth. From this point forward, anyone I know who will be selling their place, I will give them her name.

My transfer from Aurora to Kansas City came as a surprise and led to some really stressful decisions and a LOT of work in a very short amount of time to get our home on the market. This was the 1st time we had been on the selling end of things. Beth was instrumental in providing us with advice, help, handymen and other services we needed to get the most value out of our house. She was always available to answer questions and expertly guided us through the entire process from prep and fix up to decorating and color choices and finally to staging. By the time we went to market, the house was beautiful. Beth scoured our area for comps and we feel that she priced our home exactly where it should have been. Once on the market, Beth was in constant contact and guided us through the process of reviewing bids and deciding which ones to consider. Her experience and attention to detail helped us to sell our home within a week. Beth was on top of everything that we needed to do on our end to make this all happen with as little stress as possible and also followed through with the buyers and all that they had to do make the closings go smoothly. The end result was one of the most positive experiences we've ever had. We would HIGHLY recommend Beth for any real estate needs that you have.

First of all, Beth, is a fantastic realtor! Our house sold within a week. By giving us information on what most current buyers were looking for, (square footage, style, price, and other amenities), Beth, helped us to get our house ready to sell. After that, she was with us every step of the way. Whether we needed a handyman to update walls, or a contractor to address inspection concerns, Beth gave us a list of local professionals and several of them gave us discounts. She would consistently call/text us with information on people wanting to see our house and then immediate feedback on what the buyer liked or thought needed to be changed. Based on statistical data, She sat down with us and discussed current listed prices for houses in our subdivision and then the actual final sold price of those houses. Beth was always very professional. I recommend her for anyone who wants a "Sold" sign in their yard.

My company assigned two realtors/teams for my wife and me to choose from. Beth's team stood out because they did not just focus on technical data. While the first realtor showed us comps, some of those were laughable, and requested us to upgrade to her specifications before listing and sell at a lower price, Beth looked at other areas - the coziness of the home, the beauty of our garden and yard, the spaciousness of our corner lot, proximity to amenities. She suggested us to go with the higher end of her estimates first and consider lowering the price or upgrading the home later. The house was sold at 5.4% over the high end and 14.8% of the low end of the other company's estimates without any upgrades! The selling price was above what we had expected. We of course had more time in our hands and opportunities by listing the home sooner, not to mention avoiding the inconvenience of upgrade work being done. Beth was also very responsive utilizing emails, texting, and personal phone calls from early mornings to late evenings! She has handyman referrals at hand so we never had to worry about doing small things to satisfy the buyer. Four thumbs up from my wife and me!

As first time home buyers, we had lots of questions that Beth was more than able and willing to help us with throughout the entire process. We are relatively new to the area - Beth's knowledge of the neighborhoods allowed us to find a neighborhood that matches our family's values and interests. She provided us with recommendations for people we needed during the home buying process (inspector, mortgage broker, etc.) We would highly recommend Beth to any potential home buyer (we already have been recommending her to friends).

We met Beth when we first moved to Chicago in 2007. She helped us locate a rental while we got settled, then purchase a house a year later. It was nice to have someone knowledgeable of the area and provide us with a custom search catered to our needs. When work moved us out of the area, she tirelessly helped find tenants and manage the property for over 3 years until we were comfortable selling at the market rate. Once the market recovered, she worked her network to find the perfect buyer (and price) and keep our former tenant happy. Beth was a pleasure to work with in the West Chicago/Naperville area and we highly recommend her.

Beth sold my townhome in Naperville in 2015. Prior to selling, I had rented out my townhome for a couple of years. Beth was extremely helpful during the renting process and while the renters were living there. I did not live close to the property, so Beth was very responsive in providing names of contractors and helping to correct any home issues in a quick and efficient manner. After I decided to sell, Beth took on the challenge and was able to find a buyer and negotiate the sale in a short time frame. Even during the lengthy approval process for the buyers, Beth was diligent in following up with all parties to make sure the process was moving forward. In addition, Beth is extremely friendly and it was a pleasure working with her. I would recommend her without hesitation.

I had an amazing experience with Beth. She is both knowledgeable and personable. She responded to all my inquiries promptly and I felt she was really my advocate in the entire process. Many agents just want to push through and get their commission - Beth took her time and was patient waiting for the right buyer at the right price. She was hands on and always there whenever I needed; she went above and beyond. Selling a house from out of the country can by a trying process - I felt secure having our home in her hands. She also handled our purchase and exactly the same experience. She took so much time and effort - we were able to view everything via her eyes through FaceTime. She was on top of everything and caught errors and red flags that many might have missed. She is very experienced and felt like a family member at the same time. I would recommend her to everyone I know. I have dealt with a lot of agents over the last 20 years and I can say hands down she is the best agent I have worked with. Thank you Beth!!
