Starting their careers as hairstylists and salon business owners in the southwestern suburbs and the city, Jackie Redman and Karen Pasek felt the communication and customer service skills they had developed over the years would be great assets when they decided to form a real estate team. Sharing similar values and interests, they were convinced they could work well together and joined forces eight years ago. “Our salon businesses were built on maintaining strong, long-lasting relationships with our clients,” they share. “That is the perfect foundation for real estate.”
Brokers with Baird & Warner, Redman and Pasek focus on residential sales in the southwestern suburbs and surrounding areas, where they both grew up, worked and raised their families. They utilize all available resources within their company to continue to build their knowledge and experience, knowing that is crucial for a successful real estate business. They credit their success to their people skills and the care and attention they give to all of their clients, noting, “We have been called a dynamic team, a dream team and a fun team, building relationships effortlessly because of our connection to each other and what is important to both of us.” They are approachable, easy to work with and professional yet still like to have fun. “We easily connect with people and take personal interest in all of our clients to build long-lasting relationships.”
Baird & Warner presented Redman and Pasek the Director’s Club Award in 2023, and they are consistently among the top producers in the company. They were also chosen as the Southlands Best Real Estate Team in 2021 and 2022 and nominated again in 2023 and 2024.
In their primarily referral-based business, Redman and Pasek prepare clients by introducing themselves upfront and explaining how as partners they work together throughout the process. “One of us is always available at any time,” they insist. “We are known for taking care of our clients no matter who they are,” they explain. “We love working with them all.”
