Yvonne always knew that she'd find herself in the world of real estate eventually. Her mother was a successful realtor and Yvonne vividly remembers sitting in the front seat of the car with the MLS Book sitting between her and her mom!
After graduating from the University of Michigan, she found work in the competitive advertising world at what is now known as DDB Needham. Market dynamics, target marketing and demographics played an important role in her work there and would prove to be a valuable knowledge base for her future real estate career. She ultimately found herself in Network Television Sales for the CBS Television Network and enjoyed 10 years there before deciding that a flexible work schedule would be best for her growing family.
Yvonne and her husband, Milo, recently celebrated their 21st wedding anniversary and have 3 wonderful children. Yvonne is also very active in the community currently serving as the President of the Junior Unit of the Elmhurst Memorial Hospital Guild.
Yvonne has been a proud member of the team at Prudential Prairie Path, REALTORS® since 1996. Feeling that ongoing training is essential she went on to get her Broker license as well as earn the prestigious CRS (Certified Residential Specialist) certification…a designation that fewer than 4% of realtors nationwide hold today. Consistently producing $10 million in sales annually, Yvonne has received numerous Prudential Real Estate awards including the President's Club, a group that represents the top 8% of Prudential Real Estate agents worldwide.
Yvonne is a dedicated and knowledgeable realtor who can provide you with the highly specialized information that will help you make the right decisions. It's the combination of this unique market-knowledge and excellent negotiating skills that set Yvonne apart from her peers. With a professional yet friendly approach, she helps clients feel comfortable about what can be a stressful decision. Trust is hard to come by in today's fiercely competitive real estate market. Yvonne will provide you with the professionalism and integrity needed to ensure that you feel secure in what can be one of the biggest decisions of your life.
