From an early age, Marlene was destined for greatness and has built a career on exceeding expectations. She was honored multiple times for her gift of vision, passion, philanthropy and featured as a mentor for her many accomplishments in Marilyn Miglin’s book, Women of Destiny.

Having achieved a smashing success in the real estate and retail industry, Marlene was not content to just sit back on her laurels, so she reinvented herself by opening her own Marketing, PR and Special Events agency. Driven to succeed and fueled by intuition, creating and managing special events, launching landmark promotional campaigns, hosting world class celebrities and dignitaries, spearheading public relations and opening partnerships for international retailers and landmark Chicago institutions were just a few of her accomplishments.

Listening to her inner voice and inquisitive mind, opportunity knocked again when Marlene joined Baird and Warner. With an unbridled entrepreneurial spirit and a passion for trends in the marketplace, Marlene secured both her real estate broker’s, managing brokers licenses, e-agent and accredited buyer representative certification to integrate her knowledge of a family construction and real estate business into an expanded professional career. She is able to proactively and instinctively combine all her creative and visionary talents, marketing knowledge and expertise, negotiating skills, relationship and experience. The result of carefully listening to the needs, wants and desires of the home buyer and seller and willingness to work tirelessly, creates unparalleled satisfaction as well as an uncompromising promise of service. With drive and determination, Marlene’s commitment as a real estate broker pioneers new territory to insure the perfect fit in marketing and selling her client’s homes while meeting and exceeding her clients’ expectations. Marlene has sold well over 100 million dollars in her short real estate tenure and ranks consistently among the top 1% not only at Baird and Warner but from the Lake Shore to the North Shore. Her territory covers the lions share of the north Chicagoland area.
