RE/MAX Top Properties' Real Estate Agents

My family and I have made Grundy County our home for over 30 years. We could not have made a better choice in that decision. We offer an incredible community, a beautiful downtown, river walk, boat dock on the Illinois River, interstate access, local hospital and much more.

I have had the pleasure of assisting both buyers and sellers for over 20 years. This is most often the largest financial investment you will ever make and I take that very seriously. A good decision will offer a great return to you in future years. I am grateful for the success RE/MAX has offered me, as a top producer and a member of the RE/MAX Hall of Fame. When you work with RE/MAX, you have the support of the Nation’s #1 Real Estate Franchise!

It is a privilege for you to allow me that opportunity and I look forward to assisting you on your sale or purchase!

As my family and I have moved throughout our country over the last 30 years, we are proud to have chosen Morris as our final location. Both Morris and the surrounding area show pride in family and home ownership. It is a reflection of who we are. What I’ve learned from my experience as both a buyer and seller has been incredibly valuable to me as a broker/owner over the last 10 years. I’ve been in your shoes. I know the importance of good communication and follow-through to accomplish a successful sale, purchase, investment, or rental. Most importantly, I know who I work for…YOU, the client!

I know that finding the right home and location insures the best level of happiness. See what it’s like to be represented by the best. RE/MAX is the Nation’s #1 Real Estate Franchise, let our success become your success! I look forward to working with you and because I am a full-time agent, I will accommodate your schedule.

With 45 years in real estate, listing and selling, it is my passion. I had my own office from 1976 to 2008, when I went to RE/MAX. I wanted to be with the top real estate office company nationally, so I joined RE/MAX Top Properties. I have several 100% awards on my office wall, I am on my 3rd generation of clients, I love working with the public, and nothing is better than a satisfied customer.

Let me put my 15 years of experience to work for you!

I am a full time, dedicated agent with RE/MAX Top Properties. RE/MAX is the nation’s #1 real estate franchise, which offers you a maximum opportunity! Buying or selling, we are committed to your success.

This knowledge helps me best serve you. I am also a JJC graduate, and have a business degree from the University of St. Francis.

I look forward to sharing my experience and education with you to give you the best opportunity of making a great decision for your future.

I was born and raised in Morris. I look forward to showing you all that our community and surrounding areas have to offer. After graduating from Governors State University with a degree in Elementary Education, I decided to have the classroom wait and give real estate a try. I became a licensed real estate broker and have never looked back. Once I had a taste of the real estate business, it was clear that was where I wanted to stay. As a full time agent, I will devote my time and energy to your success. I will strive to offer the best possible customer service to keep up with an ever-changing real estate market.

Having been raised in LaSalle County, I continue to assist friends and family with their real estate needs in that location and beyond.

I have been a resident of Grundy County for 30 years and a member of the RE/MAX Top Properties team for 10 years.

My personal experience as a buyer, seller and landlord, coupled with the Nations #1 real estate franchise, will maximize your opportunity for success.

I have raised my family in Grundy County. This gives me the opportunity to share all the options available to yours!

As a lifelong resident of Coal City and Grundy County, I am excited to have the opportunity to share my experiences and knowledge of this amazing community I call home. Watching my own sons purchase their first homes developed a passion in me to help guide others in finding their perfect home that meets their needs, compliments their lifestyle, and realistically fits their budget. I also love the excitement and challenge that comes with helping clients that have “outgrown” or “overgrown” their existing home, and need to make the transition to a better fit. My goal in this area is to make the transition as enjoyable and stress-free as possible. Having worked with families that are faced with the task of selling their parent’s home where they themselves have built many memories, I truly understand the compassion, patience, and guidance needed to make this happen.

Full-time occupation: Real Estate!

As a 36-year resident, I have incredible knowledge of Grundy County and the surrounding areas. I have chosen RE/MAX...the Nation's #1 real estate franchise, as the perfect fit to maximize success for your real estate needs.

Having been a lifetime resident of Grundy County, I am incredibly knowledgeable when assisting you with a purchase, or sale, as you consider our location for your new home.
