Chicago Real Estate Powerhouse Leaves Family Business to Work For Brokerage Powerhouse
Chicago, IL – December 9, 2009 – Lauren Mitrick, WCR Chicago Chapter President, made the decision a few weeks ago to leave her family’s business, Real Tek Realty, to pursue other opportunities at Jameson Real Estate.
Lauren has been hired by Jameson to serve on the sales team of 1400 Lakeshore Drive. Sandesh Bilgi, VP of Business Development at Jameson, explains this as “a full rehab project brought by RDM Development and Alko Construction. This 391 unit historical building has all the amenities and resources that one needs especially with its location on Lakeshore Drive. She will be representing Jameson and the Developer to re-launch these units back into the community.”
Sandesh stated several reasons why Jameson chose Mitrick for the job:
· Her personality and professionalism
· Her competency with brokerage
· Her ability to interact within a diverse group of people
· Her overall passion for the industry
As for why Mitrick chose Jameson over other companies, she said, “because it is growing and I enjoy being a part of it at this stage in their development.”
Lauren has been in the Real Estate spotlight since being installed as WCR Chicago Chapter’s President. “We have been tremendously impressed with Lauren for a long time,” adds Bilgi. “Her accolades and accomplishments are truly impressive. We have always believed that Lauren was a good fit at Jameson, but we started the conversation [about bringing her onto our team] over the last few months.”
With her Presidency ending tonight, she saw Jameson as an opportunity to “continue to be surrounded by other realtors on a daily basis.” Lauren said that she sees this as “a continuation of what I have achieved so far.”
