How To Refinance When Your Home Is Underwater

Rita Kerins
Real Estate Advisor

Rita approaches each client with a personal touch. She takes her time to understand their needs and communicates with them every step of the way. Rita balances her tech-savvy skills needed to sell and buy a home in today's market, with the personal connection of seeing her clients from the start of their journey, all the way to the closing table.

Rita truly enjoys the close interactions she has with her clients. Being with her clients when they find the perfect home or sharing the news that their home has sold are the moments that make her truly passionate about her job.

“We truly enjoyed working with Rita. She really understands the Chicago real estate market and helped us reach our end goal of selling. She was very friendly, straightforward, attended every showing in person and constantly provided immediate feedback on every showing.” - Robert and Tanya Eckl

For Rita, real estate runs in the family. A native Chicagoan, she grew up as the daughter of a Chicago real estate developer, and learned more about the many neighborhoods of Chicago than most residents do in their lifetime.

After receiving her bachelors’ degree in Business Administration from The University of Iowa, she returned to the Windy City where she got her first professional experience with real estate at a development company as the Project Manager for the construction of a 170-unit high-rise building. There she found she really enjoyed the challenge of selling real estate. She took things to the next level as a Realtor just a year later and excelled quickly, joining the ranks of Chicago's top 2% of agents immediately and has stayed there since.

“Rita Kerins is what every buyer and seller needs. She is always there for her clients. At no step of the process did I have to wonder what was next, or feel terrified that I didn’t know what to do, because Rita explained what was going on and what to expect. I’ll always recommend Rita Kerins to all of my friends and co-workers and will ask her to be my agent whenever I go to sell my property and buy my next place. She’s that good!” - Johanna Gonzalez

Rita helps buyers and sellers all over the city, but has recently made the Bucktown neighborhood her home with her family. Being married to a real estate coach gives her a unique outside perspective of new and innovative ways to help her clients. And while real estate is her passion, Rita believes in balancing work with pleasure. She can often be found running in her Bucktown neighborhood, baking, watching Big Ten Football, hanging out with her five sisters, or time well spent with her daughter and husband.

Let her help you find your perfect home. Contact Rita today!
