Downers Grove Magazine (DGM): What motivated you to pursue a career in real estate, and what continues to drive your passion today?
Ann Pancotto (AP): I chose real estate as a career at the age of 27, 32 years ago. Growing up, my mother was a successful Real Estate Managing Broker. The decision to become a realtor was rooted in my early interactions with her work but also in my desire to help clients with integrity, expertise, and exceptional service. I’m proud to have been the top agent at
Compass in the Western Suburbs for properties closed in 2024.
DGM: How do you ensure client satisfaction throughout the process?
AP: My approach to client satisfaction is hands-on and collaborative. I work to ensure they receive personalized attention with unparalleled service. When my client needs guidance, I am ready to make their transactions as seamless – and stress-free – as possible.
DGM: What’s your favorite neighborhood, and what makes it stand out?
AP: My favorite neighborhood is the one that best aligns with my clients’ preferences. I believe the focus should be on helping my clients find “their perfect home in their ideal neighborhood.” My priority is always their satisfaction, and I work tirelessly to ensure they find a home that suits their needs and desires.
DGM: Can you describe your dream house?
AP: My dream house is one that radiates love, peace, and laughter—qualities that make any house a true home. While the aesthet ics of a house are important, the atmosphere it fosters is what truly defines it as a dream home. Without love, peace, and joy, a beautiful house will never feel truly fulfilling.
DGM: How are you involved in your community?
AP: I am actively involved in several local Chambers of Commerce and churches, and I make it a point to volunteer for any charitable causes. Caring for my 93-year-old mother, who is battling dementia, has become a central focus of my life. It is both a challenge and a blessing to be able to serve and support her during this time.
DGM: In your opinion, what is one aspect of the real estate business that technology will never replace?
AP: Integrity is an essential value that technology can never replace. No matter how advanced digital tools become, the foundation of trust, honesty, and ethical behavior will always be at the heart of any successful real estate transaction. Integrity is not just a professional principle—it’s a cornerstone of my relationships and my life.
DGM: What does an ideal workday look like for you?
AP: An ideal day for me starts waking up knowing I get to help people make one of the biggest decisions of their lives. By the end of the day, I know I’ve made a difference in someone’s life. It’s not just about the transactions. It’s about building relationships and making connections. Reach out any time. My door is always open.
