As a self-employed Real Estate Broker, I use my expertise and experience to represent my clients. For buyers, it is a rare opportunity to have interest rates at a 40-year low and prices back to 2000 - 2001 range. First-time homebuyers, tradeup buyers and investors need to take advantage of this market. For sellers, it is more difficult to sell unless you are priced aggressively and in top condition. The volume of distressed properties (Short Sales and Foreclosures) have damaged our market values and impact appraisals. The lenders have tightened their requirements to my clients jump through hoops even with high credit and good down payments.Over 85 percent of my business is working with past clients and referrals. Every client is important. In today's market, clients need advice, and representation.

I worked as a Real Estate Broker listing and selling properties in the north and northwest suburbs. I conducted First-Time Homebuyer seminars. The panel included a real estate attorney, home inspector, and lender. As a former corporate transfer, I assist clients with relocating to and from Chicago. It is very rewarding to make this transition go smoothly for my clients and their families.

My primary role was to market and sell homes. I also was a Builder Service Representative and marketed the Links of Poplar Creek in Hoffman Estates from blue prints to closing. My role was to market the new construction to Realtors and the public. As a result, a record 40 percent of the homes were sold through Realtors. I also participate in panels to educate Realtors on working with First-Time Homebuyers. The industry had finally changed to allow buyer agency and representation.

Provide corporate support and training for general ledger system. I also did training classes and provided technical support to users in the field. Reporting was critical to provide our users with the tools needed to run their operations.

I started with Dart & Kraft, Inc which went through a demerger to separate into two companies - Kraft, Inc. and Premark. My position was with Kraft, Inc. My role involved traveling to field locations to reviewi the development of systems, changes to existing systems, and data centers. Large projects included corporate financial systems such as general ledger, human resource, pension and payroll. I served on task forces to evaluate the systems critical to the corporation.

I was hired out of college to join Mobil Oil Corporation and later transferred to Chicago. My position involved 100 percent travel to conduct operational audits of manufacturing plants, refineries, and field units. In this role, fraud detection was quite common and saved money. I worked on a large audit project of our Accounting Center, and went back to night school to work on my MBA. Our team handled the entire operation. Some accounting practices were gray with corporate policy and had financial impact. In addition, some areas had conflicts of interest in management decisions and practices.
