Terri Theodore is a resilient and determined professional who has faced numerous challenges throughout her life and career. After spending 18 years with one company, she decided to join a new brokerage, only to be confronted with the difficulties of a global pandemic shortly afterward. Nevertheless, Terri remained unwavering in her spirit. She also had to navigate her husband’s cancer diagnosis, which involved multiple near-fatal surgeries. However, Terri not only survived these trials but thrived.
Currently, Terri is the managing broker of the Theo Team, where her husband, Rick, has joined her. Rick’s background in senior-level management in the commercial distribution manufacturing industry complements Terri’s expertise as a residential Realtor and marketing specialist. Together, they provide guidance and support to their clients throughout the buying and selling process, walking with them “every step of the way.” Terri’s compassion and dedication to understanding her clients’ needs have earned her a strong reputation and a high percentage of referral-based clients.
Before her real estate career, Terri successfully balanced raising three children, volunteering in her community and working in radiology for 18 years. She values teamwork and brings that collaborative spirit to her real estate business. Clients have consistently praised their experiences working with the Theo Team, describing them as amazing, focused, and always prioritizing the clients’ best interests. Terri is highly regarded for her honesty, professionalism and passion for achieving results.
The Theodores’ deep roots in the community have contributed to their success, with 90% of their clients coming from referrals. They prioritize building relationships and connecting with people as the foundation of their business. Additionally, their passion for real estate extends beyond their local market, as they actively explore opportunities in different regions across the country. This allows them to cater to clients looking to retire, relocate or invest in second homes outside of Illinois.
Terri’s story is one of resilience, determination, and a commitment to providing exceptional service to her clients. Her ability to overcome challenges, build strong relationships, and adapt to changing circumstances can serve as inspiration for anyone in the real estate industry.
