Marlene began her real estate career in 1985. She enjoyed 5 years of teaching shorthand and typing in the Chicago High School System, as well as Marillac Catholic High School, which was in Northfield, Illinois.

She started her career when her family suffered a loss when the Savings and Loan, Unity, was acquired by the Federal Government.

Marlene graduated from Chicago Teacher’s College in Business Education and has many hours credited at Oakton Community College for a Master’s Degree in Social Work.

For more than 47 years, Marlene has resided in Chicago and the North Suburban area, where she currently lives in a townhome much like those she sells throughout the North Shore.  Marlene has 3 married children and 4 grandchildren and enjoys the rare times that she can spend in Las Vegas and Ann Arbor, Michigan with her family. She is happy that her daughter, Debbie lives nearby in Riverwoods with her husband Ken Willens.
