When The American Dream first reached out to us, I didn’t know what to think. They really wanted to put me on TV? I was so excited for the opportunity that I rushed to apply.

We were all thrilled a week or so later to hear that I had been selected as one of the handful of agents to represent the Chicago area! After the exhilaration settled down, the nerves were quick to settle in. How would I do on camera? What would I say? What was I going to wear??

The team and I got to work determining what our first segment would be. It turned out to be a relatively easy decision: show what we do best and start with one of our lovely listings! The home we chose to feature is a beautiful, completely renovated farmhouse here in Naperville, located at 8S125 Indiana Ave. The builder of this home, Scott Mathieson of M House Development, was excited to participate in our walkthrough of this unique property.

Getting those finishing touches!

The day of filming, my nerves were in high swing. I had never participated in something like this before and didn’t want to blow it. I started by getting my makeup done by Makeup by Elisa and got more and more nervous as I was sitting in that makeup chair. But, after some deep breaths and a few minutes reviewing my interview questions, (and my morning Starbucks!) we started filming.

And it went great! The videographer walked us through the whole home, getting close-up shots of all the charming features along the way. We ended up getting most everything done in one take. I’m sure I’ll be cringing on the inside anyway once I see myself on the small screen, but I’m proud that I tried something so new to me!
