Description:
Real Estate: A Personal Business Maureen Ryan is a well respected realtor in the Coldwell Banker Winnetka North office located at 586 Lincoln in Winnetka, IL She is very proud to be a part of the Coldwell Banker residential team because of its outstanding reputation as a truly full service organization in its approach to buying and selling a home. Her areas of coverage include the North Shore, specifically Winnetka, Wilmette, Kenilworth, Glencoe, Northfield, Northbrook and Glenview. She also sells property in Evanston and Skokie, plus, occasionally, the city of Chicago. Maureen is committed to being a full time real estate professional. This means that she tours the listings in Winnetka, Wilmette, Kenilworth and Glencoe almost every Tuesday. On Wednesdays she tours the properties that are listed in Glenview, Northfield and Northbrook. In this way she feels that she knows the current inventory and can advise her clients about the market. Since today's market is constantly changing, Maureen feels that it is important to keep up with the listings in the area in order to educate the people for whom she works. To this end, Maureen also regularly attends classes for real estate agents so that she is current with the trends in the real estate field. And, she also takes a great many computer courses in order to keep current with today's technology. Areas of Expertise Because purchasing a home is considered by many as an overwhelming task, Maureen works very hard to listen carefully to her clients and their individual needs. And, she educates them as they go along. She really believes that there are no "stupid" questions – merely unanswered questions. Since no two transactions are the same in the real estate world she knows that really listening means that she can save her clients time and money by showing them properties that will meet their needs and their budgets. With her warm smile and her sense of humor Maureen is well liked by her fellow realtors as well as her clients. While Maureen is committed to her work and doing the best possible job for her clients, she also feels that it is important to live a well balanced life with "four wheels on her wagon" – family, faith, friends and work. She believes that while real estate is a serious business it does not mean that people cannot enjoy the experience. She knows that a sense of humor is essential – in real estate and in life. She believes in dealing with people openly and candidly. Honesty and integrity are her bywords. And, she knows that it is important to keep in touch with people even after they leave the closing table. It is all about relationship and trust. Helping buyers define and clarify their wish lists is something that Maureen really enjoys doing – especially, but not only, with first time buyers. She finds this particularly rewarding because she knows how important it is for an agent to help a buyer achieve a long time dream.
