At Team Elite Realtors, we always remind buyers that purchasing a home is more than just finding the right house. It’s about strategy. In today’s competitive Naperville, Aurora, Plainfield, and Oswego real estate markets, the strongest buyers are those who are pre-approved, working with a local expert, and ready to act quickly. We, Julia Corkey and Vickie Schoenfeld, guide our clients through every step from navigating buyer agency agreements to analyzing market data so they don’t miss opportunities. Our advice is to be prepared, lean on your Realtor’s expertise, and remember that the right team can save you thousands while helping you land your dream home.

For sellers, our advice is simple. Presentation and pricing matter. At Team Elite Realtors, we specialize in Western Suburbs real estate marketing that goes far beyond the MLS. From professional staging and high-end photography to AI-powered marketing strategies, we ensure your home stands out online where most buyers begin their search. We, Julia Corkey and Vickie Schoenfeld, help sellers position their home for maximum exposure and top-dollar offers. Whether you’re in Naperville, Aurora, Plainfield, or Oswego, working with a knowledgeable, tech-savvy team is the key to selling quickly and profitably.

We’ve worked with a wide range of clients including first-time homebuyers, move-up families, downsizers, investors, and luxury property owners. At Team Elite Realtors, we’ve helped relocating families move to Naperville and the surrounding suburbs, assisted sellers going through divorce or estate sales, and guided young professionals purchasing their first home. Because we, Julia Corkey and Vickie Schoenfeld, are deeply rooted in the Western Suburbs market, we know how to meet the unique needs of every type of buyer and seller.

Vickie Schoenfeld first got into real estate as a young mom looking for more balance. She had built a successful career in international sales, traveling often, but wanted to spend more quality time at home with her family while still doing what she loved most, working with people and helping others. Real estate turned out to be the perfect fit, and her passion showed immediately. She was named Rookie of the Year in 2005 and has gone on to become one of the most trusted and highly reviewed agents in the area, with five-star reviews from clients who praise her dedication and care. Julia Corkey found her way into real estate after graduating with a bachelor’s degree in marketing and working in public relations. Engaged and planning to start a family, Julia was looking for a career that allowed her to stay closer to home while still using her strengths in communication, marketing, and client service. Her love for real estate and working with people made the transition a natural one, and she quickly developed a reputation for professionalism, strong negotiation skills, and putting clients first. Together, Julia and Vickie built Team Elite Realtors into one of the top real estate teams in Naperville, Aurora, Oswego, and Plainfield. With more than 20 years of full-time experience and over 160 million in sales, they are consistently recognized among the top agents at Baird & Warner and have been featured in Chicago Agent Magazine’s Who’s Who. Known as some of the best Realtors in Illinois, Julia and Vickie got into real estate for one reason, to help families confidently buy and sell homes with a team that truly cares about their success.
