ABOUT MARYELLEN... Many REALTORS® are active leaders in their communities with civic groups and affordable housing providers. It is natural for REALTORS® to be involved in enhancing the quality of life in their community, because of their connection to the people who live there or want to live there. They are often best equipped to address housing needs problems. REALTORS® are dedicated to finding decent and affordable housing that is in reasonable proximity to schools, employment opportunities and human services for their clients. In this increasingly diverse real estate market, REATORS® are also committed to working with minority and immigrant homebuyers, by understanding their cultural differences and special needs.

A LITTLE ON THE PERSONAL INTEREST SIDE... The greatest testament MaryEllen ever received was that "people love to work with her" because of her contagious laugh and down-to-earth manner, combined with an empathy achieved from 25 years of home ownership. Her secret? She loves people, she loves life and she loves her career in real estate. MaryEllen buys and sells property as only a Chicago native who lives in and loves the city can. Although she conducts business from the Gold Coast-Previews Office, she has the resources of the company's other Chicagoland offices as well and is not limited to neighborhoods. Nor, is she limited to the city itself. Having raised her family and owning property in the suburbs, MaryEllen is equally qualified to buy or sell real estate in the entire greater Chicagoland area. In addition, as a certified Previews- Exceptional Properties Specialist, MaryEllen is able to assist sellers of high end properties with the superior, up-scale marketing they deserve. MaryEllen's driving force is her relationship with the clients she serves and her commitment that they achieve their real estate goals in the minimum time possible with the least disruption possible, since moving is a major life change. MaryEllen is a warm, delightful person who cares for her clients, making them comfortable throughout the entire real estate process. By asking relevant questions and then listening intently, MaryEllen gains an understanding of her clients' needs and expectations. Her manner makes the "business" of transacting real estate a joyful experience.
