About

Fun facts: In 2011 I appeared on HGTV's House Hunters and have been featured in numerous Chicago Sun Times articles regarding my experience rehabbing Chicago bungalows.

Real estate transactions are traditionally inconvenient, stressful, and expensive, and the buying and selling process has failed to modernize over the years. This leads to inefficiencies, higher costs, and a misalignment of priorities between agents and clients. In order to justify higher commissions, too many agents combine outdated marketing techniques along with unnecessary recommendations that are irrelevant to producing results for their clients. I specialize in using highly targeted strategies, technology, and systems to streamline the buying and selling process, both reducing risk and ultimately providing a more enjoyable experience for my clients. My clients benefit from a highly analytical, data-driven approach to understanding the local market and the ability to translate that into successful arguments, whether it be for buyers or sellers, first time home buyers or seasoned investors. My engagement with industry leading marketing providers allows the use of advanced media such as 3-D tours and digital photo enhancements on all listings regardless of price point, offering my clients exceptional exposure where it matters most, on the MLS and online portals. This strategy provides my clients with a competitive advantage and superior results. It simultaneously allows me to lower transaction costs through reduced commissions and closing cost credits. In 2024, I formed The Pareto Group with a focus on utilizing technology to create efficiencies in the real estate transaction process and a commitment to pass along those savings to my clients. I combine this strategy with systems emphasizing customer service, communication, and speed to deliver a modern approach to the buying and selling experience. The Pareto Group is supported by Real Broker, a publicly traded cloud-based brokerage at the forefront of real estate innovation with an international presence and over 20,000 agents. This provides The Pareto Group and its clients with a vast network of resources at their disposal. In 2011 I appeared on HGTV's House Hunters and have been featured in multiple Chicago Sun Times articles regarding my experience rehabbing Chicago bungalows. I currently live in West Town with my husband and dog, Fritz, and enjoy Chicago's vibrant restaurant scene and Crossfit.

Zak and I worked together over the course of a year and a half, during which time he guided me through the sale of my first condo, followed by the long search (and ultimate purchase) of my first townhome. In this time, I got to witness just how big of a difference it can make to have someone like...
