WHO AM I?
Hi there! I’m Amy Pecoraro, a Realtor in DuPage County, Illinois!

I became a Realtor after a horrible experience of trying to build a new home. My husband and I knew nothing about real estate, working with builders, and what a new home entailed.

It was even more stressful because we didn’t work with a Realtor. Boy, what a mistake that was.

I started in real estate to help alleviate the time, stress, and added expense that can occur in real estate transactions. I wanted to make sure no one ever had to feel that way.

Even though I love every area I get to work in in DuPage, Will, and Kane Counties, I’m a fifth generation Lombardian, so Lombard will always have a special place in my heart 💜

On my channel, I’m sharing the real estate tips & tricks I’ve learned over the last 30+ years. I’ll also show you the can’t-miss places you have to visit in Chicago’s western suburbs!
