I have worked in real estate in Chicagoland for over 20 years. I consider myself a true Chicagoan because I grew up in Chicago and went to school locally at DePaul University, where I received my bachelor's degree in finance. My education and mortgage experience has helped grow my entrepreneurship status. I opened Network Mortgage and, after 22 successful years, decided it was time to focus more on helping consumers. To me, customer service should never be compromised. Providing unparalleled customer service is at the root of my values. My desire to build and maintain strong relationships with my customers is my number one priority.
