Welcome

There's no place else on earth quite like Starved Rock Country, and owning property here is one of the great privileges of life. I love this area, and once I show you around, I'm convinced you will love it too! Whether you are looking for that perfect vacation home or full-time low maintenance living, you will find the charm and beauty of Starved Rock Country will fit all your needs. I believe that you deserve the best service and buying experience, so I am always available to take your calls at 815-252-3113.
I have had the opportunity to share my 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, I can list and sell the beautiful properties Heritage Harbor, and Starved Rock Country has to offer from single-family homes, condos, and town homes to villas and cottages. As a certified Resort and Second Home Specialist, I recognize the desires and concerns people have in owning a second home and can help educate you on making the best possible decision.
What makes Starved Rock Living so unique?
People ask me all the time what do you love the most about being part of Illinois' Natural wonder of Starved Rock? I can only sum it up by saying that it offers me 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 your groceries out and won't accept tips; it's the butcher shop owner that knows my name, it's my 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 I was raised with as one of 14 children in Dubuque, Iowa, was that we all could give back of our time and talent to our community…Starved Rock Country allows me that opportunity to be involved as a Chamber Ambassador, a fundraiser, 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 you experience the charm of Starved Rock Country, you won't be asking Why anymore but Why Not Starved Rock Country.
"So, I'll see you soon in Starved Rock Country!"

Helped me buy home

In 2020, my wife and I bought a two bedroom cottage at the Heritage Harbor Resort in Ottawa, IL. Tammy was with us every step of the way. When the initial property we were interested in was purchased before we could put in an offer, she worked hard to find us similar listings within our price range. After we made an offer, Tammy helped negotiate a price with the with seller. Further, when the home inspection came back with minor suggested fixes, Tammy was instrumental in getting the sellers pay for those fixes. Through the entire process, Tammy was very responsive and a true pleasure to work with.
