A Family Team You Can Trust
As a mother, daughter, and son team with Coldwell Banker Realty, we've been helping clients throughout Chicago and the surrounding suburbs make confident real estate decisions since 2003.
"I've always believed that real estate is built on relationships, not transactions. That's why helping generations of families find a place to call home remains the most rewarding part of what I do."

Barb is the pillar of our family team and the heart behind everything we do. A devoted wife, proud mother of three, and loving Nana, she brings warmth, wisdom, and decades of experience to every client relationship.
Barb's real estate career began in the 1980s, selling new construction homes and helping families find the perfect place to put down roots.

She later stepped away from her career to focus on raising her three children, a role she considers one of her greatest accomplishments.
Married to her husband for nearly 40 years, Barb understands the importance of family, home, and building a life that lasts. Today, one of her greatest joys is being a Nana and spending time with her growing family. Those experiences have shaped her approach to real estate, giving her a genuine appreciation for the milestones and memories that make a house a home.
More than 20 years ago, Barb returned to real estate and quickly reestablished herself as a top-performing, award-winning broker. Since then, she has successfully guided clients through every type of market, including the housing recession, its recovery, and the many shifts that have followed. Her deep industry knowledge, calm demeanor, and unwavering dedication have earned the trust of generations of clients.
Known for her second-to-none negotiation skills, attention to detail, and tireless advocacy, Barb is committed to helping buyers and sellers achieve the best possible outcome. Whether assisting first-time homebuyers, growing families, empty nesters, or investors, she combines expertise with a personal touch that makes clients feel supported every step of the way.
With decades of experience, an award-winning track record, and a lifelong commitment to serving others, Barb remains the foundation of our family team and a trusted resource for the families she serves.
