Realtor Karyn Wilson is one of three leaders for the Oak Brook and Elmhurst offices for Coldwell Banker Realty. She recruits both new-to-the-business agents and agents that are at the top of their game with many years of experience, in order to build a team of competent and successful agents, and additionally has agents selling in Wisconsin and Indiana.

Prior to embarking on her 28-year career in real estate, Wilson was the general manager for a wholesale fitness company and recalls that she was the youngest GM of her competitors and was also the only female. She made the switch when she decided she wanted to have more control over her destiny and worked as a realtor in DuPage/Cook for nearly 30 years prior to her promotion as a VP.

Having raised her two boys in Elmhurst and lived in the community since 1993, Karyn’s knowledge of the market is extensive. “I have so much knowledge, from selling and living here for almost 30 years, to share with my agents,” she says.
