Bio
There is no place else on earth quite like Starved Rock Country, and owning property here is one of the great privileges of life. Tammy loves this area, and once she shows her clients around, she is convinced they will love it too! Whether looking for that perfect vacation home or full-time low maintenance living, clients will find the charm and beauty of Starved Rock Country will fit any and all needs. Tammy believes that her clients deserve the best service and buying experience, so she is always available to take calls. Tammy has had the opportunity to share her love of the area with many residents as the VP of Sales and Marketing at Heritage Harbor Ottawa, a marina resort community since 2006. As an elite HomeSmart licensed broker, Tammy can list and sell the beautiful properties of Heritage Harbor, and everything Starved Rock Country has to offer from single-family homes, condominiums, and town homes to villas and cottages. As a certified Resort and Second Home Specialist, she recognizes the desires and concerns people have in owning a second home and can help educate them on making the best possible decision. What makes Starved Rock Living so unique? People ask Tammy all the time what they love the most about being part of Illinois' Natural wonder of Starved Rock? She can only sum it up by saying that it offers her the best of all worlds, natural beauty, outdoor activities, history, year-around fun, less than 90-minutes to Chicago and most importantly it's small-town charm. It's a place where they still carry groceries out and won't accept tips; it's the butcher shop owner that knows her name, it's her favorite ice cream shop and the constant reminder that life should be ‘simply' lived. What is hard to describe in words is the ‘heart' of Starved Rock Country, where everyone ‘shows up' to help those in need or to say hello. One of the core values Tammy was raised with as one of 14 children in Dubuque, Iowa, was that they all could give back of their time and talent to the community. Starved Rock Country gives Tammy that opportunity to be involved as a Chamber Ambassador, a fundraiser, and an event planner for a non-profit to the Women's Inspired Network. Not to mention the area is not short on amazing restaurants and boutique shops. After people experience the charm of Starved Rock Country, they won't be asking why anymore, but rather why not Starved Rock Country.
