"When we asked for René’s assistance in listing one home and purchasing another, we knew that she would be great. Turns out she was truly fabulous. René is a terrific listener and patiently guided us through the emotional ups and downs associated with saying goodbye to a home we loved, and saying hello to a smart new home that we couldn’t pass up. René brought us the ideal buyers, an enthusiastic family who will be a perfect fit for the neighborhood. Equally important, she applied her patience and tact in handling a potentially difficult contract situation. Kudos on that for sure. Very important to both our sale and purchase transactions, René demonstrated the skill and grace required to network among North Shore agents and resources. Her work in the marketing and timing of our listing resulted in no fewer than 51 agent groups coming to visit our home on the very first brokers’ open house! René clearly had the backing of her team at Compass. They priced our home perfectly. Thanks to René we worked with an expert staging professional, as well as the perfect attorney who was a real pro in dealing with contract negotiation and closing. The marketing, listing, sale, and the new home purchase were all done in a tight timeframe. And somehow during all of this, René always picked up our phone calls on the first two rings without fail! It goes without saying that we heartily recommend René for any residential help on the North Shore, on a transaction of any size." - Rick and Emily Voit, Wilmette

About René
A home is much more than a roof over our heads, it's where life happens, where we engage and care for those we love. My client’s goals are key to what motivates me. The greatest single factor in satisfying my clients is the service they experience. Having a plan, working hard, responding quickly, thinking creatively, expecting the unexpected and ultimately doing whatever is necessary to ensure that their goals are met – these are all vital elements to delivering excellent service.
Having sold real estate on the North Shore since 2002, I have experience in fast-moving and slower markets and can manage the marketing process and search effort with ease and confidence. My past work experience both in interior design, catering and specialty food sales has taught me to listen well, be intuitive and creatively problem solve while remaining a calming force in all situations.
My home for the last 30 years has been on the North Shore, where we've raised three kids. I am a consultant for my husband's company - Benchmark Carpentry & Woodworks LLC, renovating homes and utilizing my design skills all while continuing to be in leadership roles in our community and church. This gives me the unique ability and perspective to guide buyers and sellers in making the best investment.
