I 've been a full-time Realtor/Broker since 2005 . I'm here to make your real estate journey as smooth, informed, and stress-free as possible. Whether you're buying your very first home or your next investment, I'm committed to being your advocate every step of the way. I genuinely care about my clients and take pride in being responsive, thoughtful, and supportive. I know buying a home can feel overwhelming, especially for first-time buyers, so I take the time to educate and empower you. My goal is to make sure you feel confident and in control throughout the entire process. For me, success isn't just about closing deals--it's about building relationships. I'm honored that most of my business comes from repeat clients and referrals. I treat every client like they're my only client, because to me, you are that important. I take your goals personally, and I work tirelessly to help you reach them. With strong negotiation skills, a creative mindset, and years of experience in navigating competitive markets, I'm here to guide you through every twist and turn with clarity and confidence. I hold a BA in Psychology from Northern Illinois University and an MA from Loyola University.
