I have been in the real estate industry since 2004 and can tell you that there are more opportunities and challenges in real estate today than at any other time in our history. You need an agent who will not only listen to you, but one who also understands the industry and is positioned to stay ahead of the game. I am constantly researching the latest technologies, tools and services to ensure my clients benefit from the best products to help with the sale or purchase of a home. I am committed to excellent customer service that exceeds expectations; I offer personalized attention to detail in every transaction. I have been professionally trained to surpass your real estate expectations; I received a B.S. in Accounting from Illinois State University and am a member of the National Association of Realtors, Illinois Association of Realtors, and the local Multiple Listing Service Board. Previous business experience consists of 11 years with Continental Bank and Bank of America in Internal Audit and Project Management. As a lifelong resident of the Fox Valley area, I currently reside in Sugar Grove with my husband and three children. I am actively involved in the Kaneland schools and love spending time with family and friends.

Real Estate Agents questions, answered by experts

Yes, a screened-in porch will increase your property taxes because it has a foundation and is considered a permanent improvement to your land. The exact amount your taxes will go up depends on the value of your existing home, the value added by the screened-in porch, the size of the structure, your location, and more.

If you’re selling a home and the appraisal comes in lower than an offer, you’re effectively getting more for your home than it’s worth. If you’re a buyer, it means you may be overpaying. Some buyers may try to reduce their offer amount to match the appraisal, but if they signed an agreement already at the offer price and the agreement didn’t make the sale contingent on the appraised value, there’s often no option to negotiate. Keep in mind that a low appraisal may push your loan-to-value ratio too high, meaning a lender may not give you a mortgage.

Built-in bookshelves are worth it when you’re a bibliophile with an impressive personal library or simply looking for additional practical and stylish storage solutions. They are a great way to utilize wall space to its best advantage. Plus, this project adds value to your home and increases its resale potential when made in timeless, high-quality materials.

Granite countertops typically add value to your home, especially if upgrading from a less durable material or one that requires more maintenance, like concrete, wood, or laminate. Granite strikes an excellent balance between longevity and affordability, so most home buyers will see immense value in granite countertops. Plus, upgrading countertops to granite is likely to have a more significant impact on your home value than many other home improvement projects, as many buyers use the kitchens and bathrooms to judge the overall quality of the home.

Yes, home appraisers look at your windows when appraising your property to determine the market value of your home. They’ll factor in the type of windows, quality, condition, whether or not there are screens covering the windows, frame materials, size, insulation, and more to come up with an unbiased property assessment.
