PAGELS ELAINE

Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Chicago

If you’re looking for a home in Downers Grove, Elaine Pagels is the one to help you make your dreams come true. Thanks to her local knowledge and palpable love of Downers Grove as a resident herself, the right home almost finds you. Elaine and her friendly, capable team at Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices (BHHS) Chicago are just the people to help you navigate the search for a new home and discover all our community has to offer.

For Elaine, real estate is a family affair. As a third-generation broker, she comes by it honestly. Her mother’s aunt was the first woman in Indiana to obtain her real estate license. Her mother followed in those footsteps, becoming a broker and starting a boutique firm in Hinsdale. Over the years, they merged into a team with BHHS. Elaine’s daughter, Brita, ushered in the fourth generation of family realtors when she joined the firm.

Elaine and her team genuinely enjoy meeting with clients and listening carefully to their needs. She has a first-hand understanding of the process of moving and the needs of clients before, during, and after the move, which she learned from being relocated three times with her husband's job. Frequent check-ins and follow-ups ensure they always do their best for the client.

Navigating the process of getting your home ready to list is a stressful process, but Elaine and her team make the process simple through their guidance and action plan. She has an eye for analyzing a home from a buyer’s perspective and guiding homeowners with ideas to showcase their property in the best possible way. There is nothing like having a capable realtor at your side to help minimize the headaches and stress of moving. “To be invited into a client's life and home is an honor, so we do our very best for them.” ■
