Glen Ellyn

Michele Evangelista served as an administrator within the RE/MAX Suburban Glen Ellyn office before earning her broker’s license. Prior to joining RE/MAX, Evangelista worked in the import/export and fashion industries for more than 20 years, then started a home staging business in 2012. A life-long Glen Ellyn resident, Evangelista brings a unique perspective to properties in the western suburbs.

Libertyville

Jeff Esser earned a degree in Criminal Justice and Sociology from Carthage College, and prior to entering the field of real estate, he spent eight years with an employee benefits agency. He brings an innovative and energetic approach to real estate. According to Esser, his goal is to put buyers, sellers and investors in a position to make strong decisions about purchasing or selling real estate with complete confidence.

Joel Gilbert was raised in a “real estate family,” in Buffalo Grove, Ill., and has been a Lake County resident for the last 28 years. He earned a degree in hospitality management from the International Art Institute, and worked as a manager in the hospitality industry before earning his real estate license in 2014 and specializing in the sale of foreclosed properties. Now his focus has broadened, and he relishes working with a wide range of clients on the full range of residential properties.

Also new to the office is Brittany Stineman, who joins the team of Leslie McDonnell as a buyer’s agent.

Schaumburg

Brian Gentzle brings six years of real estate brokerage experience to RE/MAX Suburban. A graduate of Southern Illinois University who always wanted a real estate career, Gentzle earned his license and started that career in 2008, just as the housing market was heading into one of its most difficult periods. The result, according to Gentzle, is that he learned a tremendous amount in a short time about what it takes to effectively market a home. He also developed substantial expertise in dealing with short sales and foreclosures.

Christina Novak is a newly licensed broker but not new to the real estate industry. She has grown up in the business working with her mother, Maria Novak, a successful agent since 1977. Now the two will be working together as brokers and are multi-lingual, speaking Spanish, Portuguese and Russian.

She is a lifelong resident of the Chicagoland area and has a strong background in property management. Parker takes pride in her knowledge of the various communities and all they have to offer. Her attention to detail, strong work ethic, availability and prompt follow-up are what Laura's clients appreciate most.
