Feeling incredibly grateful.

Our team was named the #4 Team at Compass Lincoln Park with $85M sold and the #2 small team in Illinois. But the numbers are only part of the story.

What I’m most proud of is who we get to work with every single day. The women on this team are true powerhouses. The hustle, the care, and the amount we pour into every deal and every client simply can’t be replaced.

Being 100% referral based isn’t easy, every transaction happens because someone trusted us enough to pass our name along. That’s something we’re incredibly proud to have built. 🤍

Endlessly thankful for our clients and community.

KWG has been named the #2 small team in Illinois for 2023! Carissa, Nicolette, Alexa and I are so proud. Grateful is the word we use often when speaking about our clients. We are beyond lucky to get to do what we do everyday and call it work!

How serendipitious that my team came in behind - I met Leslie years ago and she became a mentor. She graciously gave up her time to coach me on how to build my own team. I have total and complete admiration for her. So fun to watch you continue to kill it, Leslie!

KWG clients and supporters - thank you from the bottom of our hearts - we know we are #1 to all of you! 😉 We will continue to provide you with service you deserve!
