I am a Realtor member of the McHenry County Board of Realtors and the Multiple Listing Service of Northern Illinois. I was born and raised in Wisconsin. I moved to Illinois and have been in the area for over 50 years. I lived in the Elgin area for 25 years. I am currently a resident of Cary after moving here in 1990. I have worked in the real estate profession for 35 years which included working for a real estate attorney. This knowledge is extremely valuable in my negotiating skills.

I provide first time buyers the guidance they need to make their purchase an investment in their future. My experience can assist the most seasoned home buyer as well, whether it is for investment or moving up to 2nd and 3rd homes.

I am a certified short sale and foreclosure resource to guide you through those transactions. My in-depth training includes special real estate courses such as Real Estate Practice, Economics, Financing, Property management, Legal Aspects, Real Estate Appraisal, Taxation and Creative Financing

As an agent who's an expert in this local area, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise about buying and selling real estate here. It's not the same everywhere, so you need someone you can trust for up-to-date information. I am eager to serve you. Here are some of the things I can do for you:

Find Your Next Home
You need someone who knows this area inside and out! I can work with you to find the right home at the right price for you, including all the neighborhood amenities that matter - not to mention the essential criteria you have for your ideal home

Sell a Home
When it's time to move, you need someone who will advertise your home, show to prospective buyers, negotiate the purchase contract, arrange financing, oversee the inspections, handle all necessary paperwork and supervise the closing. I can take care of everything you need, from start to close.

Consult on Home Selling Tactics
Oftentimes buyers don't visualize living in your home the way you do. I can make your home attractive to its ideal audience - which can help you get top dollar. Things like staging the home, making repairs or minor improvements, or even simply painting the walls can be the difference between a home resting on the market and one that's sold fast.
