For me, it all comes back to home.

 

I love to cook and to host, and I've always wanted a place where people feel welcome the minute they walk in. I grew up in the South, where my parents taught me hospitality, and it's still how I live and how I work. That's a big part of what pulled me into real estate: I get real satisfaction from helping people find the home they've been picturing.

 

I've been fascinated by architecture and design since I was a kid. My family moved often, and I loved the adventure of a new place. I'd sketch floorplans and work out what went where, but mostly I was curious about the kind of life a home could make possible. I bring that same curiosity to my clients, and I'm good at seeing what a property could become when that isn't obvious at first.

 

Chicago's architectural history is a big reason I love this work, especially the craftsmanship in its pre-war buildings. My husband and I recently renovated our own vintage condo in East Lakeview, the neighborhood I know best and where I do most of my business.

 

Before real estate, I led a large sales and marketing support team at American Airlines. It taught me to keep a level head under pressure, which matters more than you'd expect, because buying or selling a home gets complicated and it gets emotional. My aim with every client is simple: understand what they actually want, then beat it. Market knowledge counts for a lot, but being kind and earning someone's trust is what people remember.

After more than twenty years in residential sales, I'm a Real Estate Advisor at Engel & Völkers Chicago and Principal of the Wade Marshall Group. What drew me to Engel & Völkers was the combination: a boutique culture, marketing that actually looks good, and a global network I can lean on when a client's search reaches past the city.

 

I've been fortunate, and I believe in giving back. A portion of my income supports the Center on Halsted's homeless youth program, Howard Brown Health Center, and Chicago-area food banks.

 

Outside of work, my husband and I love hosting friends, working our way through Chicago's restaurant scene, traveling, and spending time with our dog, Minnie Mae.
