A NOTE FROM Andy Weir
It’s difficult to choose what I love most about our home. The view of the pond out back is serene, offering a peaceful escape where my mind can drift as I write. Interestingly, our agent Linda—who is also a dear friend— used to swim in that very pond as a child. Kayaking on the water not only gets me moving but also brings back memories of family kayaking trips in California.
We renovated this house with the intention of making it our forever home, sparing no expense on even the smallest details. However, life had other plans for us. My wife poured her heart into the kitchen remodel, creating a space that is nothing short of breathtaking. From the custom stove imported from France to the intricate mosaic tile work on the backsplash, every detail was carefully considered. Sitting in that beautiful kitchen, with the tranquil water view in the background, was a daily source of calm and the perfect way to start each day.
Timeless Dunes Charmer
This thoughtfully designed house exudes a charming cottage vibe and features ample space nestled within a serene natural setting in the Indiana Dunes National Park. The three bedroom, two bath property features a spacious layout with hardwood flooring, creating an inviting and comfortable atmosphere.
The home boasts a spacious deck, providing an ideal space for outdoor gatherings and relaxation. The interior offers an abundance of natural light, enhancing the overall sense of openness and warmth. The dining area is generously proportioned, allowing for comfortable and functional entertainment.
The family room highlights a vaulted ceiling, skylight, and cozy fireplace, adding to the home’s tranquil ambiance. The family room also provides convenient access to an inviting screened porch and flows into a sitting room. The laundry/ mud room has an exterior entrance, allowing for easy clean-up after a trip to the beach.
The surrounding lush greenery, scenic woodland views and peaceful pond create a true retreat-like setting, perfect for those seeking a serene and harmonious living environment. Find enchanting, professional terraced landscaping and a large deck for entertainment, plus a spacious garden shed for extra storage.
This fabulous property would make an ideal second home for beachgoers or serve as a terrific year round home. 35 E Stillwater offers the finest of Michiana living and is ideally situated near the lakefront, national park, outlet malls, dining, shopping, major expressway arteries, and the South Shore Metra line (which runs from Chicago’s Millennium Park to South Bend International airport), with a stop in Beverly Shores.
Ideal sanctuary for a second home or enjoy year-round living!

THE ENERGIZED TEAM: BUSINESS EXPANDING INTO GENEVA
June 1, 2024, was a momentous day for The Energized Team of Realty Executives Premiere. New office doors proudly opened on the corner of 3rd Street and Campbell in Geneva, Illinois- a symbol of the team’s expansion plan coming to fruition.
“Our team had significant success in expanding business into the Fox Valley area, frequently earning listings in Geneva, Batavia, St. Charles, and surrounding areas,” said Becky Vanderveen, Team Lead and Owner of The Energized Team, Inc. “Having a physical presence in the community was our natural next step and will allow us to further develop our market expertise and best serve our clientele.”
For years, The Energized Team has focused on enhancing the client experience by providing comprehensive, seamless service and building trust and long-term relationships in the competitive Illinois real estate market. Their team members’ mix of diverse skills, expertise, and resources have exponentially increased their reach and successnow allowing them to expand into Fox Valley- an opportunity they are excited to capitalize on, especially with the team’s desire to grow the business.
FORMING THE BUSINESS
The Energized Team, Inc. formed in April 1999 when top producer Karen Pokorney sold her real estate business to area top producer Becky Chase Vanderveen. Both women were working under the guidance and leadership provided by Broker/Owner Pat Callan of Realty Executives Premiere in Wheaton, Illinois. Pokorney began her real estate career in the Illinois market in 1993. By 1994, her high-energy, spirit, and passion for real estate earned her the moniker of “The Energized Realtor.” Five years later, with plans to relocate to Arizona looming, Pokorney began looking for a professional to take over the business. She found a kindred spirit in Vanderveen. “I knew that my real estate business in Illinois could continue to thrive by
partnering with an entrepreneur who shared my energy, passion, and work ethic,” said Pokorney. “Becky fit the mold, and I was confident that transferring the business to her would result in my clients continuing to receive top-notch service while scaling toward a bigger, stronger business in the future.”
THE TEAM EVOLUTION
Pokorney’s relocation to Phoenix, Arizona, sparked the first evolution of The Energized Team. At that time, the team’s ownership transitioned to Vanderveen and team member Diane Lynch.
In 2006, Vanderveen and Lynch welcomed a new licensee, Eric Logan. Logan’s role began as an advertising and marketing partner, but his commitment to real estate quickly helped him achieve top producer status. It became clear that Logan was a great culture fit and was crucial to the team’s future growth and expansion. Logan became a team owner and business partner with Vanderveen in 2014.
“In 2012, Becky and I had a business coach named Dave McGhee with Buffini & Company. Dave began to assist us in putting our team together, so we could work as a seamless organization. In 2014, Becky and I implemented these strategies with our team,” said Logan. “Our Energized Team has evolved over the years, and has become a dynamic, thriving entity. Each team member possesses unique gifts which are integral to the team working as a cohesive unit. Our team culture is ALL about personal growth and development. We serve our clients with the best of our abilities, and as we grow personally, our service becomes more impactful and fruitful. As we touch those around us in a positive way, while providing superior service, we get a steady stream of referrals that come in week after week. We understand that as we sow good seeds, our team will reap a bountiful harvest. I am grateful to be a part of this thriving team, and to have met Becky VanderVeen in 2004. The sky’s the limit!”
