Joanne Gleason

I started in this business when I was 18 years old.  I was a receptionist at a mid-size Chicago lawfirm and then worked as a legal secretary for a solo practictioner, and a real estate paralegal at a large firm in Cincinnati, Ohio.  I started law school at Kent College of Law in Chicago when our son was 3 months old.  While working full time and finishing law school at Salmon P. Chase College of Law/Northern Kentucky University our twins were born.  After passing the bar in Ohio I worked as an associate attorney at same large lawfirm in the real estate department.  After a couple of years, my family moved back to Illinois where our 4th child was born.  I am licensed in Illinois and Ohio and my vast experience in both Illinois and Ohio has always been in real estate.  I pride myself on returning calls and emails daily.  My clients speak directly with me and not a paralegal or secretary.  Buying and selling a home can be very stressful and I feel I go above and beyond to assist my clients with their real estate transactions.
