I am officially the managing broker for both the Grayslake office AND our McHenry office.
But no worries, I'm still available to provide next level service to all my friends looking to make a move! Still my favorite part of this is seeing your faces light up when you walk into the right home, your new home!

Being both a realtor and managing broker just means I'm constantly up to date on laws, ethics, trends, and new marketing techniques to stay ahead of the curve for both my clients and my agents!

They are ready! The 2024 Pet Calendars featuring YOUR pets is available. I want to thank our sponsors and everyone who submitted their awesome and adorable pets for this.

All proceeds go to Katibugkids NFP.

These are going to be sold for $10 each.
If you are not local (Lake, McHenry area) we will need to include a mailing/shipping fee.

At this time, I couldn't find a better ordering system that didn't have fees. So just reach out to me to place an order. Please include name, address, and how many you would like. We will make delivery arrangements. They will start being delivered Monday the 8th.

Cash, check, and venmo for payments.

Got a cute pet picture? Want them to be in a calendar? Then let’s do that! I’m going to create a 2024 calendar of all of your pets! It’ll be easy!
Email me a photo of your pet. (now til Nov 30th)
I’m going to post them and we will have a contest (Dec 1st-Dec 14th)
Top 12 get a month on the calendar.
All the pets not in the top 12 will get their picture on a day of choosing throughout the year. Also, be in a collage of pets in the centerfold.

Why do this??? Alot of you know I’m on the board of a local charity, Katibugkids. We have a family who needs help. Asher is a sweet boy who has muscular dystrophy. The family needs a wheelchair accessible van to transport him. We are trying to raise $35,000 to make that happen. We need roughly $7,800.
So entry is free, voting is free, the calendars will be sold for $15.
100% of the revenue goes to helping Asher’s family get their much needed van.

If you’re a local business or individual who would like to help. We are adding a small area on each page for you to put your logo, coupon, whatever you'd like to advertise. That is $150 per spot. We are a 501c3 so it is tax deductible.

So I need a good/high resolution photo of your pet(s) (no people in it) emailed to me at [email protected]
Include your name, pet(s) name, day of the year you want (in case they aren’t top 12).

And of course, post some pets in the comments to brighten our day!
