People ask me, “How do you do real estate without a car?” I reply, “How does anyone do it with a car?!”
Happily car-free since 1983, I’m eager to share my passion for public transportation, bicycling, and daily yoga practice; observing how these self-sustaining activities may inspire my buyers and sellers and family and friends, resulting in an enriched transaction for all!
A writer and former PR consultant, my essays have aired nationwide on public radio. An arsenal of quirky anecdotes combined with an extensive marketing background and finely tuned organizational skills have served me well since embarking on a residential real estate career in 1997.
As a long-time lakefront high-rise dweller in Chicago, I trust that my unique perspective on navigating city neighborhoods will not only enlighten and entertain, but will provide a blueprint of sorts: gently challenging you to examine your relationship with Planet Earth, with the ultimate goal of enhancing your sense of well-being. Along the way, you are sure to discover how I do real estate without a car…
All this AND I’m an avid listener, I welcome your viewpoint; let me hear from you!

I look forward to reading about a car-free realtor. Having recently embraced the “smart-for-two” and attracting a lot of attention (smiles and laughter) as I drive to and from my showings I will tune in to read any tips from you with the smaller carbon footprint! Go Jill!
Michelle,
Smart, eco-fashionista! That’s you!!
Dear Jill,
You have been an inspiration to this center city Philly gal for some years. You gave me the courage to ditch the car for biking and walking thus allowing me to establish a very intimate relationship with the neighborhood shops and denizens. That’s what it’s all about!
Hi I!
I remember when you got rid of your car; it was so liberating! I’ve never looked back… And you’re right–on my bicycle and on foot, I came to know Center City and the surrounding Philly neighborhoods in a very special, intimate way.
Jill,
I look forward to more of your insight on living in harmony with our planet and not just on it. I appreciate that you live a busy lifestyle without a gas guzzler and know if you can do it anyone can. Keep it up! Your are an inspiration! : )
