Meet Your Your Villa Park Property and Laguna Woods Real Estate Specialist, Lena Carlstrom!

When I started real estate in 1989, the housing market was just turning from "red-hot" and started to spiral downward. From the very beginning, I had to cope by learning to sell in very tough market conditions. It was the time when only the most diligent, hardest working and resourceful Realtors survived.

I not only survived, I thrived, as I committed myself to serving my clients with enthusiasm and every resource at my disposal. Long hours of hard work, an ability to listen, handling every transaction in a conscientious and ethical way, and above all treating my clients to topnotch service. Eventually the real estate market recovered, but I haven't forgotten how I succeeded in the first place. I still believe in hard work, determination, careful planning and preparation, as well as a total commitment to your dreams and goals. With these values, we can succeed in all market conditions.

With a Masters Degree in Clinical Psychology from Poland, I had to rebuild my life from "0" when I first emigrated to the U.S. with my husband and 2-month-old baby Thomas. Difficult financial times, and facing a language barrier, I initially worked as a cleaning lady to earn enough money for the family to survive - I experienced it all.

I went back to school to learn English, this allowed me to do what I love to do most: work with people. I always listen carefully to hear what you have to say and put your welfare first.

I offer a high level of expertise and knowledge honed over more than 16 years of practicing real estate in your area. Further, I offer dependability, integrity and loyalty. I want to earn your trust and business. If you think you can benefit from my services and I am worthy of 30 minutes of your time, please call me. You can decide in a pressure free, face to face interview if I am the right person for you.

.And did I mention I never give up?.Trying to impress that is!

One more thing: You can count on me.
