Alex Abramowicz and Meredith Van Syckle of Jameson Sotheby’s International Realty bring a collaborative, client-first approach to every transaction. Working as a seamless team, they take the time to understand each client’s priorities, whether that means pricing strategy, timing, or discretion, ensuring a thoughtful and tailored experience from start to finish.

As residents of Downers Grove, Alex and Meredith are deeply invested in the community they serve. Their local knowledge and established network allow them to connect buyers and sellers both on and off the market, creating opportunities that align closely with their clients’ goals.

Alex began his career in corporate concierge and new construction, while Meredith brings a background in corporate finance. Together, their combined expertise spans a wide range of real estate needs, including first-time buyers and sellers, investment properties, new construction, historic home restorations, and design-focused projects. This breadth of experience allows them to guide clients with confidence through every stage of the process.

At the heart of their work is a commitment to long-term client relationships built on trust, transparency, and thoughtful guidance. Meredith notes that they focus on consistent, professional communication and honest, upfront feedback. Alex adds that their goal is to be each client’s “forever agent,” with trust as the foundation of every relationship.

A hallmark of their success is helping clients tell a compelling story about their homes. Drawing on creativity and strategic marketing, Alex and Meredith focus on selling a lifestyle, not just a property.

By leveraging technology and social media, they help prospective buyers envision themselves living in the home and becoming part of the neighborhood. While high-quality photography and video provide a strong digital first impression, every detail is carefully considered to ensure that experience carries through the moment buyers walk through the door.

“Our clients’ homes are fully prepared when they go to market, with a marketing plan already in place,” Meredith said. “At the end of the day,” Alex added, “our goal is to help buyers truly visualize life in their new home.”

Kristina and Matthew Bailey began reading books to their son, Owen when he was six months old— they haven’t stopped.
Owen turned 4 in June and recently received an award from the Clarendon Hills Public Library for having had 1,000 books read to him before starting kindergarten.

The library’s 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten Challenge is one of a few reading challenge programs offered in Clarendon Hills, where the Bailey family has lived for the past 2 1/2 years.
Kristin Bailey said she saw an ad about the 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten Challenge and decided it was a good fit for Owen.

“He’s always been really into books,” Bailey said. “He had a natural interest in books at nine months old. That’s when COVID started, and he didn’t get out much, so reading books to him worked out very well. He’s a naturally curious kid, and imagination-building is important. The reading allows him to learn and explore new things, and he really wants to learn to read now.”

Krista Devlin, the Clarendon Hills library’s youth services librarian, said there’s a specific reason The Friends of the Library-sponsored 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten Challenge was started in 2022.

“Reading aloud to a child is one of the best ways to help develop important early literacy skills, which will prepare them for kindergarten,” Devlin said. “It is also a great way to bond with your child and to encourage a love of reading.”

Devlin said Owen was the second child to reach the challenge of having 1,000 books read to him before starting kindergarten. He was awarded a certificate, a crown, and his picture was taken to recognize his accomplishment.

Bailey, who said she is “a big reader,” said her family usually goes to the library once a week. Reading three books each night to Owen, along with a book before nap time, is the household normal.

“Consistency in our routine has been good and is important,” she said, adding that Owen’s two sisters, ages 2 1/2 and 1
