Ever since Stephanie was a little girl she has had a passion for Chicago. After school field trips to the Field Museum or Shedd Aquarium the teacher would ask the class to draw a picture of their favorite part of the trip. While most students were drawing pictures of dinosaurs and dolphins, Steph was drawing pictures of the beautiful Chicago skyline. She dreamed of living by the lake and loved the idea of standing below the towering skyscrapers and feeling small. As soon as she got the opportunity to move to the city, she did. While attending DePaul University located in the heart of Lincoln Park, Steph's love for Chicago deepened as she began to explore Chicago's neighborhoods and meet its amazing people. She was sure that Chicago was the city for her.Before joining @properties in 2015, Stephanie worked as a fundraiser for Chicago's PBS station WTTW11 for 10 years. During that time she helped create local documentaries about Chicago's neighborhoods and architecture, and oversee the design and marketing for every product the station offered on-air. Coming from the non-profit world, Stephanie knows what it means to roll up her sleeves to work hard and work smart. Her degree in public relations, experience in grassroots marketing, and her network of friends and colleagues throughout the city are a huge strength.Steph's clients will tell you that she is a very good communicator and handles all aspects of a real estate transaction with poise and efficiency. She is quick to share her resources and team of lenders, attorneys, inspectors, and contractors with her clients to make their buying and selling process as smooth as possible. Building a lasting relationship with her clients is her main goal and you'll quickly realize why most of her clients end up becoming her friend.She and her husband recently welcomed their first child and have been residents of the Rogers Park neighborhood for 12+ years.
