Meet Christy Schmaedeke

Your Local REALTOR® for Morris, Minooka, Channahon & Surrounding Communities

Keller Williams Infinity - Top Producer

Hi, I'm Christy Schmaedeke, REALTOR® Keller Williams Infinity

Turning Houses into Homes, One Family (and Dog) at a Time 🐾

For over 20 years, I've had the privilege of helping families find their perfect homes right here in Grundy County. I've been proudly helping families since 2004, with deep roots in Morris, Minooka, Channahon, Coal City, Seneca, and Shorewood.

My career in real estate isn't just my career — it's my passion. I love the moment when a family walks into a house and I can hear their eyes light up because they know they've found the one. That feeling never gets old.

When I'm not showing homes, you'll probably find me with my six rescue dogs 🐾 (yes, six!). I get it. I know that why I have a special, soft spot for my clients who are fellow pet lovers. Your furry family members are important, and every step of the way,

I'm here to help you find a home where they'll be happy, healthy, and safe — where they can truly thrive just as much as you will.

Why Locals Choose Me

I believe a home is more than square footage — it's a lifestyle. It's evening walks by the river,

backyard barbecues, and space for your dogs to roam. It's being part of a community where people

still wave hello and care about their neighbors.

Clients describe me as friendly, responsive, and committed to follow-through. I take pride in

offering honest communication, genuine care, and professional expertise. I'm by your side every

step of the way with a calm and reassuring presence.

My Approach

I Listen First

Before I show you a single home, I want to understand your story. What matters most to you? What makes a house feel like home? Where do you see yourself in 5 years? I'll make sure I know those answers before we start looking.

Local Expertise

I know which neighborhoods have the best schools, where the best

coffee is, and where the local coffee shop is. My network spans Morris, Minooka, Channahon, Coal City, Seneca, Braidwood, Wilmington, Joliet and surrounding Grundy, Will, Kendall, and LaSalle Counties.

I Fight For You

Whether you're buying or selling, I'm 100% in your corner. I negotiate hard, think creatively, and handle challenges head-on so you don't have to. My goal is simple: get you the best possible outcome without the stress.

My Philosophy

Real estate isn't just about houses. It's about life transitions — the big ones that shape who we are. I often say REALTORS® wear many hats and have our hands in many things — strategist, negotiator, therapist, matchmaker — because your every moment matters.

Whether it's your first home, forever home, downsizing, an empty nest, an entirely divorced, or moving on up — these are the most pivotal, terrifying and hopeful times of all our lives. I'll make sure it feels right from the moment you walk through the door.

I am guided by:

Purpose: I'm driven to make a positive impact on the lives of the people I help. Relationships are everything to me. I'm a matchmaker, connecting great homes to their new owners and to their communities.
Energy & Passion: I'm relentless. I'm obsessed with the client experience. I dream, I build, I deliver, and I love what I do every single day. I believe the strength of our relationship is the key to helping you achieve your real estate goals.
Trust & Integrity: I earn the trust of my clients through transparency, security, compliance, privacy, and performance. Your needs and best interests are at the heart of everything I do. You deserve to work with a trustworthy and knowledgeable real estate partner.
Excellence: I pursue excellence by pushing myself to be better every day and seeing possibility instead of limitation. I make the impossible happen. When I win, you win!

My Local Network

For buyers and sellers alike, I've cultivated deep relationships with local lenders, inspectors, and contractors — from painters and plumbers to electricians and landscapers — to make sure your buying or selling experience is as smooth and stress-free as possible. Need a great home inspector? Moving company? Estate sale specialist? I've got trusted recommendations ready to go.

Pet-friendly specialist

Your Pets Are Family Too!

With six rescue dogs of my own, I understand that finding a pet-friendly home is more than just a nice-to-have — it's essential. Whether it's finding neighborhoods with sidewalks for evening walks, fenced yards for your pups to run, or communities that welcome dogs, I'm here to help you find the perfect home where your entire family can thrive.

Fun fact: For every home I help buy or sell, I donate $250 to local animal shelters. It's my way of giving back to the community that's given me so much.

Working With a Team of Experts

While I personally guide every client relationship and transaction, I work with a small team of trusted professionals to ensure you receive white-glove service:

Transaction Coordinator - Handles paperwork and closing logistics so nothing falls through the cracks

Showing Agents - Available for showings when I'm with other clients, ensuring you never miss an opportunity

Administrative Support - Keeps everything organized and running smoothly behind the scenes

You'll always work directly with me on strategy, negotiations, and major decisions. My support team exists to enhance your experience, not replace my involvement.
