We are a mother daughter duo team serving the City of Chicago, North Shore & Western Suburbs. We are experienced with first time buyers, move up buyers, foreclosure/short sale properties, estate sales, older homes, horse properties, luxury properties, condos, town homes, buyers & sellers. With 20+ years of real estate experience and having sold over 800 homes, we firmly believe that people want to be served-not sold. Our backgrounds have taught us to be patient in explaining things…in listening…and in doing a great deal of preparation. Our business has the heart of a teacher not a salesman.
Buying or selling a home doesn't come with a manual, our job is to guide you. Our success is due to a keen ability to coordinate the details of today’s sophisticated-sometimes complicated transactions. We specialize in strong negotiation skills, pricing strategy, client advocacy, and extremely high levels of availability and responsiveness. Our experience and drive are continuously validated by being ranked in the top 1% of our company’s agents for both volume and units and our testimonials from past clients.
We have an extensive network of real estate professionals and vendors in every field to make sure you have the absolute best resources supporting you from beginning to end. This brings a unique competitive edge to every real estate transaction for our clients. We are laser focused on creating an outstanding, seamless, hassle free, and successful experience for all our clients. We go the extra mile for your satisfaction. We would be happy to listen to you and make a plan to answer your real estate needs.
About Us:
Desiree’s journey started when she was a child, helping her mom Kelly build her real estate career in the early days. She would create flyers, stuff mailboxes, basically slave labor hehe. She graduated from Northern Illinois University with a business degree and launched into technology sales for 10 years before transitioning full time to real estate. Desiree grew up in the western suburbs and has lived in Chicago for over 8 years in various neighborhoods. In between, she had a few years living in Atlanta and Dallas. It is an exciting ride coming from her background in sales and being able to work side by side with her mom.
Kelly grew up in Geneseo, IL on a farm. She was a substitute teacher in and around Naperville schools at the junior high and high school level, co-taught Kindergarten at Montessori, taught preschool at Kensington School in St. Charles, and was a stay-at-home mom for 10 years raising 3 daughters. Kelly has been a full-time professional Realtor since 1999 and in the many testimonials her clients have provided they used the following adjectives: honest, compassionate, knowledgeable, available, and tough negotiator. Her professional reputation is built on successful relationships with clients who utilized her extensive market knowledge, transaction skills, marketing expertise, high tech skills, communication, and client confidentiality.
