RHIANNON FOSTER | BROKER | Rhiannon@HRGSells.com | 847.387.9345

Having grown up in Kane and living much of my adult life in DeKalb county, I am able to offer my clients an invaluable perspective on many local areas. From local parks, community events, hidden gems, and yes… most importantly the best pizza delivery!!

I am fiercely motivated everyday to uphold my clients’ best interest, doing my best to go above and beyond hoping to provide a level of service exceeding their expectations. Whether assisting a first-time buyer, or a seasoned property investor, I pride myself on always delivering the same level of professionalism, discretion, and hard work.

As a mother of three, I understand the demands of family, the importance of “home life”, and count myself lucky to be able to strike a balance between family and work. In my time away from the real estate hustle there is a good chance you’ll find me at the sports fields cheering on my kiddos, organizing something at home (lol), or just spending time with friends and family. 

Now that you know a little bit about me, I would love to hear from you, get to know you, and find out how I can assist you with the ever changing real estate market!

LAURA JENSEN | BROKER | LAURA@HRGSELLS.COM | 630.774.4536

I’m proud to call Sycamore my hometown. Born and raised here, I spent time living in the suburbs and the Rockford area, but came back in 2013—and I’m so grateful to once again call this incredible community home.

With a background in Hospitality Management and more than two decades in Human Resources, Data Analysis, and Project Management, I bring a unique blend of customer care, attention to detail, and strategic thinking to every real estate transaction. My years in the service industry—from small-town diners to exclusive private clubs—taught me the power of genuine connection and listening to people’s needs. In my corporate career, I honed skills that are essential in real estate: clear communication, creative problem-solving, and keeping complex projects on track—skills that directly benefit my clients as they navigate buying or selling a home.

As your REALTOR®, I offer more than just market knowledge—I bring a calm, organized, and client-first approach that helps make your real estate journey smooth and successful. Whether you’re buying your first home, selling a longtime family property, or investing in your future, I’m here to guide you with professionalism, empathy, and dedication.

My husband and I are proud parents of three Veteran children, and we’re passionate about giving back—especially to our Veteran and military families. I understand the unique needs of those who serve and would be honored to support your homeownership goals.

Real estate isn’t just a career for me—it’s a calling. Helping clients find a place to call home, or move on to the next exciting chapter, is incredibly rewarding. If you’re thinking about buying, selling, or investing, let’s connect. I’d be honored to be your trusted advocate every step of the way.

With a lifelong background in customer service and a deep-rooted passion for real estate, I bring a client-first approach to every transaction. From my earliest jobs to my current real estate career, helping people has always been at the heart of what I do.

Growing up in a family of eight, I understand firsthand the importance of finding the perfect place to call home—and I’m committed to helping you find yours. With a combination of real estate knowledge, business experience, and strong customer service skills, my goal is to help turn your vision of home into a reality.

When I’m not working with clients, I enjoy attending concerts and music festivals, traveling, hiking, and spending time with my three dogs—Maggie, Benny, and Finn—as well as my close-knit family.
