Colleen brings over twenty years of experience in the construction industry having owned a successful, union masonry company with her husband in addition to building and renovating homes in the Chicagoland suburbs. This experience helps Colleen see a home as it is as well as what it can be. This unique skill set helps Colleen assist clients in finding not only the turn key, dream homes but also the diamond in the rough. She has been working with clients to find and remodel their dream home for several years in the Chicagoland suburbs and has recently partnered with Sullivan Realty to bring her vision to the Apple Canyon Lake and surrounding areas. In 2013, Colleen and her husband worked with Sullivan Realty to purchase a farm and enjoyed the process so much that selling land became a new dream for her. Colleen and her family began spending more and more weekends at the farm and began meeting the great people of Jo Daviess County. The rolling hills, friendly neighbors and mewing cows was such an attraction, it led them to purchase a home in Apple Canyon Lake community. Although she is not a native to the area, she is experienced in being a newcomer and understands the attraction to the ACL community. Colleen has built valuable relationships with the people of Jo Daviess County as a land and farm owner and as a resident of Apple Canyon Lake and she looks forward to working with clients that wish to do the same. Colleen listens to her clients’ dreams, helps understand and create a vision with them and works diligently to make that vision into reality. When Colleen is not working with clients she can be found playing with her German Shepherd on the farm or enjoying the amenities that the lake has to offer with her family.
