About Jill Bennis

2011-Present: Broker with L.W. Reedy

1986-2011: Real Estate Agent with Schiller Real Estate (now Koenig & Strey)

5th Grade Language Arts Teacher in Boardman, Ohio

B.A. in English and Education from Westminster College

 

I was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and raised in a small steel town called Monongahela. I have a B.A. in English and Elementary Education from Westminster College in Northern Pennsylvania. I taught 5th Grade Language Arts in Boardman, Ohio.

 

In 2012 I was honored to be selected "BEST REALTOR®" in a survey conducted by the Press Publications, published in the 1/27 "Best Of" article.

When we moved to Elmhurst in 1977, I became a stay-at-home Mom to my 3 children, Sean, Todd and Brooke. During my years in Elmhurst I have been involved in many organizations. Usually, I have ended up serving on various Boards. I served on the Courts Plus Board for 18 years before it was dissolved and helped design the current Courts Plus facility. I have just finished two terms on the Board of Directors for the Chamber of Commerce of Elmhurst and on the Ethics Committee for the Elmhurst Art Museum.

Because of my background in Education, I feel it's very important that my clients be educated on the various processes of buying and selling. The more they know and understand, the better prepared they are. The internet and media can tell you a lot about Real Estate, but I bring over 25 years of experience and that information is extremely valuable, especially in this market.
