How did your experiences prior to Real Estate set you up for this role?
Pharmaceutical sales then managed a team of over 60 employees as the Advertising, Marketing and Social Media Director of the Charles Ifergan Salons, a family business. My father, Charles Ifergan, who started his chain of salons over 40 years ago, instilled in me an entrepreneurial spirit and passion for real estate at an early age. Also, having grown up in and around Chicago’s Gold Coast neighborhood, I am a lifelong Chicagoan who has an intimate understanding of the city’s diverse communities.

What is your favorite part of working in real estate?
The high you get when you see the excitement buyers and sellers get as they enter new chapters of their lives.

A couch because it’s where I can wind down and just chill.
