"Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass. It's about learning how to dance in the rain". My philosophy is based on this famous quote by Vivian Greene. Real Estate is similar; there are challenges sometimes to overcome. What is important; is not about how quickly my clients can buy or sell, but it's about accomplishing your goals. Purchasing and selling a home is an important decision-it ends a chapter and begins another. You are not just buying a house, but you are building a home filled with love and memories. I bring 15 years of real estate experience that enables me to understand your hopes, dreams, and emotions that you will go through during the process of selling or purchasing a home. I will be your trusted adviser-educating and guiding you through the process. Will provide you solid expertise and knowledge to understand all the nuances of buying and selling a home and be with you every step of the process. I am caring, compassionate, committed and innovative. And all done with integrity, humor and compassion. Currently I live in the Northwest suburbs. Married with two teenagers and the family dog. Involved in community events-a sponsor for the Salt Creek Park, Palatine High Schools Varsity Poms Team and Dance Competition (District 211). Volunteer and supporter of Fetching Tails Foundation which is a non-for-profit foster-based rescue. Enjoy running, working out, biking, hiking and wine tasting.
