Baird & Warner is proud to announce that Rebecca Cleal McDermott is the new managing broker of the company’s Schaumburg location. Previously McDermott was a top producing real estate agent in Baird & Warner’s Edgebrook office. Now she will head the Schaumburg sales team as well as manage the day-to-day functions of the office.

“I’m so excited to take on this new role and represent a company with such a rich history and tradition of innovation in the real estate industry,” said McDermott. She is a 21-year veteran of the industry and winner of a Chicago Association of Realtors sales award who has been with Baird & Warner for 17 years.

“Rebecca is a top sales professional and a true student of the always-changing real estate industry — we couldn’t have asked for a better candidate,” said Laura Ellis, president of residential sales and executive vice president of Baird & Warner, Chicagoland's largest, locally owned independent residential real estate services company. “We needed someone with the experience and knowledge to lead the Schaumburg team, so it was important to us that the new manager has deep roots in the Baird & Warner family.”
