Real estate has always been a part of Oriana Van Someren’s life. Growing up, she accompanied her father to job sites of commercial and municipal projects and learned how to read blueprints. She later married into a family of residential subcontractors who became developers and custom-home builders. “With a background in sales and a strong focus on client experience, I found there was a need in the local market,” Van Someren says. “When I decided to get my real estate license, I realized I should have done it years ago.”
A principal broker of the OVS Group with Compass, Van Someren assists luxury, custom, new-construction, land and development clients throughout the western suburbs of Chicago, with a strong focus on Naperville. Born in Hinsdale, she spent her childhood living in Riverside, Burr Ridge and Naperville. With a degree in marketing from Loyola University Chicago, she lived on the North Side and in the West Loop for many years before moving back to Naperville 20 years ago.
In the industry for nine years, Van Someren spent 15 years as a successful brand representative and training specialist for luxury retailers. Her responsibilities included opening new locations, creating a culture of noteworthy customer service and elevating the company’s brand in a new market. “My knack for team building and for creating partnerships through active listening, has transitioned seamlessly into the world of real estate,” she says. “This role allows me to showcase my enthusiasm for exceptional client service. My passion has become my profession.”
