Illinois REALTOR® with Baird & Warner, serving Southwest Lake County. After almost 20 years teaching first grade in Mexico City, I relocated to the historic Village of Long Grove. I traded lesson plans and field trips for listing plans and house tours, and now use my educator mindset to guide families through seamless, stress-free real estate journeys with the same patience, and same knack for making the complicated feel simple. I understand firsthand the exciting journey of relocating and starting a new chapter, be it in a different country or the town next door. Bicultural and bilingual (Español and English), I am well equipped to serve our diverse local community. Whether you are looking for the historic charm of Long Grove, a quiet lot in Hawthorn Woods, or the vibrant convenience of Vernon Hills, I will be your dedicated advocate every step of the way. I've made it a point to get to know these neighborhoods inside and out, not just the roads and school districts, but the small stuff that actually makes a place feel like home. That curiosity — wanting to really know a place — is exactly what I bring to helping clients find exactly where they belong. I understand that the best guide isn't the one who talks the most, but the one who listens closely enough to know what someone actually needs. Let’s grab coffee and you can tell me about your real estate goals! BONUS: Ask me for restaurant recs; I've tried them all.
