Real Estate :
Bonnie White, RE/MAX Great American North

Born and raised in the Wasco/Elburn area, I began my real estate career in the late 1980’s. I cherish the sense of the past; the mature landscaping and agricultural interest present in these communities and appreciate the amenities that our growth has brought. In the late 1990’s I transferred real estate offices from St. Charles to Elburn due to the tremendous client demand for excellent schools, newer housing, and a short commute to the city.

I specialize in the residential and agricultural markets of Kane and DeKalb Counties and the communities of Elburn, St. Charles, Geneva, Batavia, Lily Lake, Sugar Grove, Elgin, Sycamore and DeKalb to name a few. I am proud to be ranked among the top ReMax Real Estate agents and am consistently a top producer in my office. The real estate market here is competitive—one has to be a strong, personable and creative negotiator in order to succeed on the client’s behalf.  I am very proud of my track record and my ability to strategize, present, negotiate and succeed for my clients while maintaining the highest levels of integrity, ethics, and professionalism.

Whether we are experiencing a ‘Seller’s Market’ or a ‘Buyers Market,’ my goal is always the same: to provide exceptional real estate service above and beyond the norm. In doing so, I aim to earn your long term trust, and of course your real estate referrals. I am committed to client satisfaction and will always put your interest and needs above my own.

My intimate knowledge of good basic gardening techniques, coupled with an understanding of eco-systems and horticulture will enable you to learn the healthy balance of sustainable gardening. Hence, over time your yard will require less work and provide more beauty with each passing year. I have over 34 years of experience in all aspects of gardening ranging from design (the beginning) to composting (the end)

Degrees in: Ornamental Horticulture/Landscape Design, Zoology, Graduate studies in Landscape Architecture and additional studies in wildlife animal care will promote alternative methods to synthetic fertilizers and pesticides.
