About Sharon A. Gonwa:
Straight forward, easy to understand - the way I do business, with a servants heart working in your best interests
Licensed since 1985, my business focus has always been on my client and not myself. Consequently, I received numerous production awards over the years and special recognition among her peers for excellence in sales and service. I worked for Century 21 for 7 years, and RE/MAX for 11 years before starting my own company in 2003.
I am a Certified Staging Consultant (CSC) and part of an elite group of REALTORs since this certification is held by fewer than 400 Illinois agents. Property and home staging, space planning and/or organization services are available to everyone - home seller, buyer, builders, developers, companies, anyone interested in getting everything organized and pulled together. Staging and organization services are charged a separate hourly fee for services, payable at the time of service. Check out my website for staging, organization, and space planning services.

Then we'll review your options so you can make wise informed decisions. No pressure, no hassles, I promise. When you are ready, I will get the job done. I offer a superior marketing program designed to get the highest price for your property, in the shortest amount of time, with the least hassles so you can proceed with your plans.
If you are buying, contact me (email or 630.495.2888) for a list of properties meeting your criteria. Let me know your property needs, your price range, where you want to live, and your email address. I'll email you all listings that match your criteria, plus keep you updated with new homes that come on the market. Let me know which ones you want to see and you'll be on your way to your new home. When you are ready, I will get the job done. I want to help you find the best property that meets your criteria, in a price range you're comfortable with and the best terms possible so you can proceed with your plans and enjoy your new home for many, many years.
Whether you're a seller or a buyer, I want you to be happy with your decisions and to feel comfortable with the decisions you make and why you chose that option. It may not always be what you want to hear, but I will always tell you the truth. I'll patiently guide you every step of the way, explaining your options and their potential pros and cons so you can make intelligent, informed decisions you feel are best for you.
