About

Pat loves looking at houses and finding the right house for her buyers, helping make their home ownership dreams come true. Pat truly believes that your home is where you plant your roots to create memories that last a lifetime. Assisting sellers allows Pat to help move them to the next phase of their life. She is licensed in both Illinois and Wisconsin.

In January 2011, Pat purchased the Lakes Realty Group and built a team of experts to make it a strong, local real estate office. Since its purchase, she has brought the company into substantial growth. She sponsors many events and organizations, including the annual Fox Lake TriAthlon, NICC Ice Fishing Derby, St. Bede Halloween Hustle, and more.

Pat is the BEST! She helped us find our fist home and now our forever home! She is knowledgeable about the entire process and took the time to explain all of it to us on more than one occasion. She also is the most patient person we've ever dealt with. Pat took the time to show us so many houses until we found the right home. I would highly recommend her!!

Pat and her team were efficient and well organized with the sale of our home. They took the time to make sure the process went smoothly. We would highly recommend them!

Pat is amazing! She is knowledgeable, patient, and really takes the time to get to know her clients. She took the time to explain the entire process with our first home, its sale, and the purchase of our forever home. I would recommend her highly to anyone looking to buy or sell!

Pat is very patient while shopping. She listens and can even get a sense of likes and dislikes to really help you shop.

See last description. She is wonderful. Even reach's out after the sale to see how things are going.

Photographer was amazing on our sale.

Duplicate her! Everyone deserves this experience while dealing in real estate
