Biography

THE BEGINNING

My real estate career began at 6 years old in Atlanta, Georgia. My Mother would take my 5 brothers and I to investigate new developments around Atlanta, an inexpensive way to entertain six children and provide a learning opportunity about construction from the “ground up”. The smell of fresh cut saw dust still ranks as one of my favorite scents along with fresh cut grass.

Those excursions led to numerous tree houses, a fondness for touring homes, new, old, open houses, new developments, appraisal classes, investment classes, personal real estate investments and ultimately making real estate a career in 2006. The tide had just begun to roll the market into a different landscape.

A FRESH APPROACH

Instead of turning me away, it drew me in. 15 years in national and local advertising for major companies and personal stock investments demonstrated opportunity in any market…it’s how to ride the waves. My extensive background in advertising allowed a fresh approach to the market. Behavior patterns, demographics and understanding statistics was a critical facet of my job. Facts don’t lie. They paint a picture. Presentation and packaging add to the picture and cannot be denied in today’s market as a leading edge to compete and secure the key to your goal... Buying or Selling.

A business model can be customized for each situation, and it is a business. It can be your single largest investment. Emotions can ride high with any change, major investment, or new chapter in life. It’s my job to assist in balancing the business with the emotions in obtaining your goal.

DEDICATION & PERSEVERANCE In 2000, one of my three daughters had a stem cell transplant** from a baby’s umbilical cord for leukemia. Adversity called for perseverance and resourcefulness. Negotiating with insurance companies to cover medical care exceeding $1,000,000 often required me to sharpen my negotiating skills and develop a considerable amount of “outside the box” thinking. Interfacing with doctors and hospitals across the country, a network of other parents, research groups, and my own quest to uncover all resources for the best treatment and options expanded and opened my views. Most often, it was that one extra step, that one extra call, that one different approach that made the difference. Perseverance became a way of life.

bethematch.org

Be the Match. Save a Life.

bmtinfonet.org

Baby’s umbilical cords are thrown away, if donated can save a life. Pass the word and save a life today.

Bridging my advertising career with family time, I wrote and self-published a children’s book. It encompassed research, development, strategic planning, marketing and action to transform a vision into a reality.

MOVING FORWARD

I take my experiences everywhere I go. It’s natural for me to connect with emotions that accompany a new chapter in your life, especially moving. My business approach blended with empathy allows me to help you to have a better transition from one chapter of your life to another. When my family went through our challenging experiences for years, people I had never met appeared. I could not repay all those who helped us but I could make a promise to pass it on. That promise I keep; I have a passion for what I do.

MARKET STRATEGIST

I am a portfolio manager, not a volume producer. You will seldom see more than 5 properties in my collection at one time and usually balanced with 5 buyer clients. As a portfolio manager, I focus on your goals, your home sale, or your home search.

Your single largest investment deserves to be more than just another transaction. Where the business model is built around you!

“I am a portfolio manager, not a volume producer.”

COMPLEX TRANSACTION SPECIALIST

Strategizing, negotiating and managing multiple property transactions requires an elevated skill set and balanced experience.

ANALYTICAL NEGOTIATOR

Numbers don’t lie. My approach to negotiating is based upon what the numbers say. I carefully analyze the market and develop a plan of action based on facts.

Long Grove Estate Style Home

Twilight and daytime high end photography are flattering choices showcasing timeless old world craftsman design and finishes. The mixture of stone, brick work, metal and copper, arch and transom windows and roof design are art itself.

Lifestyle living and color for the brick patio shot is refreshing and appealing. Exquisite attention to detail and nature inspired colors on the interior with clear, clean, crisp shots to the exterior merge the two beautifully. Closets can be an experience that makes the difference, never overlook or under estimate their presentation value.

Elgin, Randall Ridge

Bensenville

Complex multiple transaction during one of Chicago’s coldest Winters. Single family home in a high price segment for that market. Client wanted to secure a specific home but did not have theirs listed yet. Demonstrated market stats, presentation portfolio and strategy to negotiate an 8 day to market commitment + 30 day lead before contingency kick out took effect. Property lightly restyled, shot with crisp visuals and lifestyle photos. Buyer walked in on the coldest day with their Agent during an Open House. Because the home was brought “alive” by presenting with warmth, music, candles, theatre movie in action, full layered lights, ambiance and ability to have questions/concerns answered immediately, a contract was secured. We met all the contingencies on time and closed all properties smoothly on the same day.

Single family original purchase on a short sale, then a resale in 4 years, 26% margin. Minimal restyle, high image photos shot with crisp clear views to merge interior and exterior. Outside views become the art in a clean color palette that opens up the rooms and enhances the natural light. Exterior shots magnify the beauty of the natural color scheme used on the interior. Nearby Fox River and downtown Elgin photos were added to the visual on line presentation for lifestyle and area opportunities. 2 weeks to contract in a balanced market. Mid price range presented with comfortable sophistication and easy living design to appeal to any audience.

Wheaton, 1969 retro vintage extra large single family split level, Wheaton Estates

Incorporated split level history, in-town entertainment, community parks and train station visuals (commuter town). Virtual styling leaning into the vintage flavor, character and charm. Consistent open houses for added exposure and immediate market feedback.

VISUAL STYLIST

The highest view from potential buyers begins on the internet. To achieve the best margin, the price point must have compelling synergy to the perception and presentation. That alignment needs to capture, captivate and engage. The appeal and allure is an essential component online and in person. The visuals can inspire and initiate a transaction but the price is a reflection of presentation and perception. My extensive background in marketing, visual techniques and continual search and discovery of influential visual market position strategies bring you a wealth of benefits. Every home has a unique vibe, distinctive features and attributes that clarify it’s allure. I can help you communicate those characteristics in a visual level that places your property in its best market position to achieve your goals.

“I use the photos to evoke a unique feeling.”

THE ART OF MARKETING

Through the application of design skills and marketing knowledge that I have acquired over many years. Your home will be positioned to attract as many buyers as possible. The goal is to sell your home as quickly as possible while maximizing your return on investment.

Palatine, Ethans Glen

Showcasing a property’s highest benefit is a must. The location on the lake has a peaceful view. Wake to gentle waves or value a starlit ngiht on the balcony listening to nature talk. Virtual sunset added for enhanced view. Precise visual styling, upgraded high end photo shoot to blend interior to exterior seamlessly and local area lifestyle shots pump up presentation to support maximum value. My skill sets take your property to the top of the selection for buyers. Every listing is accompanied by property detail marketing and backed with an in house professional marketing team.

Addison

Bloomingdale, Bloomfield Club

Present it right, pre-style, photograph high end, enhance, show neighborhood, amentities and seasonal views. Buyers want to enjoy and love their neighborhood year round. Getting the most for your property is more than just taking pictures. Don’t look at the volume an agent does. Look at the presentation they give, because thats for you and your $$$. This home became a marker for a high sq. ft. return because skilled presentation and marketing pushed the price.

Fun 1976 condo matched its era in high end presentation and marketing. Client obtained an exciting 31% increase to investment in 4 years. Lifestyle area photos were included representing dining, entertainment, health and outdoor activities to showcase the area.

“Kathleen made selling my home an amazing experience from staging and marketing to closing the sale! She knows the market and how to stage homes to appeal to that market for your home. Her timing for listing my home and conducting open houses was perfect. We had an offer within 4 days and have closed the sale since then. No doubt I would list with Kathleen again for my next sale! She is one in a million, a truly exceptional Realtor!”

Simple virtual selection of style & color added in the bedrooms to compliment exterior winter views, warm hardwood floor shade and fresh snow white walls.

Virtual renovation and virtual styling is added for this basement. Most pictures on walls are from my own private collection of nature hikes and travels.

“The difference a good photograph makes is night and day!”

CLIENT FOCUSED

Each home is unique. So is my approach. I will work with you to develop the ideal plan for you and your needs.

PERSONAL TOUCH

I will be completely dedicated and keep you informed throughout the transaction process. I will be involved from start to finish and beyond. Every step of the way, I will be with you to advise and guide you.

What my clients are saying:

“Unmatched. Kathleen went above and beyond the call in identification of properties that fit our very specific requirements and specifications, contract negotiations, contractor and trade references and follow-up. She is professional, conscientious and untiring. She definitely had our best interest at heart in the entire process. She truly loves what she does and it shows. She is also willing to mediate between spouses and do yard work!” —Hanan & Paul

“I thought it would be a lot more stressful but I had a great team working with me. You were essentially the back- bone of the whole team. I really appreciated you didn’t force me to buy a home. Instead, you treated me like a friend and actually listened to all of my concerns. Keep doing what you are doing right now. The best thing you showed was a general interest in how I thought. My Father is next on the list.” —Hiro

“Thanks for another awesome experience ! You made it very smooth and easy. You were quick to respond via text chat, or call. It was wonderful. Exceeded my timeline by months! So happy! You offered helpful advise on organizing and decorating and instructive on how to counter negotiate for a win win. The professional styling and You Tube video was new for me and I liked it. You were great.” —CeCe

“Yes, we enjoyed our home search very much. The day of the closing, my fiancé and I were so impressed with how your team worked together and how smooth everything went. We truly appreciate everything you did. You were honest, patient, flexible and knowledgeable. You got to know us and what we were looking for in a home. In the end this really helped to make sure we ended up in the right home. We feel blessed to have worked with you. Thank you for taking the time to work around our schedule and for all the work you put into the sale of our previous home and the purchase of our new one.” —Heather

“It was quite an adventure. Kathleen is a Great Realtor. She is thorough, very knowledgeable and understood our needs/ wants at the very first meeting. She tailored the search to our specific request and hand shopped for us, not the typical MLS generated listings. She was tireless and knew exactly how to steer us in the right direction. She is an awesome person, great negotiator and a dear friend. She helped us every step of the process, from home tours to paperwork and attorney questions, making sure that things with the lender moved along in a timely manner, down to even bringing us boxes to move!! We are very happy in our new home and grateful that we contacted her to help with our home search. Love how you ask questions to learn your client’s needs.” —Syeda

“We have been involved in over 26 Real Estate transactions and have used almost that many different Realtors all over the country. Without a doubt, Kathleen was by far the best Realtor we have ever had the pleasure to work with. We would highly recommend her to anyone. She is the best kind of ally and partner you could have in a home sale or purchase.”

—Vicky and Phil

“We had an excellent home buying experience. It was a big adventure! Spectacular. We loved our Saturday outings. You covered every facet of the process from design to décor, negotiations to support. It was wonderful working with you. Constant updates and communication about everything! The articles and listings that you’ve sent even after the process was close to complete have been extremely helpful. Keep doing what you’re doing. Our experience could not have been better.”

—Kristin and Chris

“I feel your service was excellent. You went above and beyond to locate properties, arrange viewings, make suggestions. You shower genuine care through your service that eased a stressful time. Don’t change anything. I would definitely refer Friends, Business Associates, and Family to you.” —Dave

Did You enjoy your home selling experience?

“Yes, I know we drove you crazy, but you hung in there. Still question the snowman.”

–Tim and Sabina

What did you like that I should keep doing ?

“Your approach to selling/ buying lifestyle rather than just a property”

–George and Valentina

“Exceptional. You were focused, knowledgeable and personable. You actually cared. You got to know us and learned what we were looking for in a home and neighborhood. You also know Chicago and surrounding suburbs like they are your backyard. You even helped us movein !. You went above and beyond for my family and I at every point in the process. We are so grateful.” —Andrew

“I could not have done this without you and only you. You took charge in an emotional situation, managed my short sale successfully through in 3 months, were relentless in your follow-up and attention to detail. Your guidance personally and professionally was so appreciated at such a critical time. Thank you for helping me move forward with my life.” —Sheri

“You were relentless and always looking out for our best interest.. You also looked after our kid while we house shopped and had the inspection, very helpful. You always followed up and made sure we were ok with our decisions.”

—Megan and Patrick

“No one believes me when I tell them how fast I sold my house in this crazy market. I thought you were crazy when you made me put my giant bird cage back together in the living room. Your creative energy and fresh ideas made the difference. Oh yea having me drive an hour to come cut grass before a showing because you wanted the fresh cut grass smell...the contract came that afternoon after the showing!” —Betsey

“We liked everything-seriously, knowing the situation we were in, you made us a top priority. If it wasn’t for you, we would not have this home. When we are ready to buy and sell again, you will definitely be the Realtor that will handle the entire transaction.”

—Lou and Shari

“You found this home for me and you were the only one to sell it for me. Your strategy was right on target. Thank you so much for all the advise about doing the right things right.” —Ann

Did You enjoy your Real Estate experience?

“Yes, Your service as a Realtor was superb. You are a real go getter”

–Sharon and Ron

“I couldn’t be more proud of the efforts you put in the house sale. You put your heart into it, it shows. and are helping me take the first big step in my life goals. Thank you so much, Kathleen! You went above and beyond my expectations for the selling process. You were an advocate for my interests and concerns, from start to end. You made sure to drive tasks to completion, from all aspects of the project. My numerous questions were always answered. I knew that I had chosen the best Realtor once we started prepping the house for market. Your creative flow and suggestions for staging the house led to our success. We were able to create a timeline to get the house to market. You let me know how the market was for the area and style of house. You always made sure my questions were answered. I was very satisfied with the results of the sale. Your approach to market the upgrades and point out the unique qualities of the house led to this outcome .There are many aspects of the Selling Experience that you taught me throughout the process; things I would have never thought of ! I couldn’t ask for a better Realtor, on both- professional and personal level! I appreciate your passion for what you do. Thank you!” —Joshua

“Thank you for all your hard work with all of our recent real estate transactions. You’re really good at what you do and I will definitely recommend you whenever I get the chance.”

—Steve and Laurie

“You have a unique ability to read the needs and temperance levels of your Clients and adjust your style to those needs. In our case, we needed time, analysis, contingency and options. You accommodated those needs while keeping things moving with your experienced council. You also brought the complete package. You were able to recommend lawyers, lenders, repair guys, etc. You also represented us well with some difficult Agents/Sellers. Had it not been for your personal efforts, positive energy, representation, and experience, we may have walked away from this deal.”

—John and Ruby
