With over 25 years of real estate experience, Theresa Smith brings deep industry knowledge and a proven track record to Searles Law Group.

From 2000 to 2010, she managed the closing department for a major Chicagoland residential builder, overseeing high volumes of transactions with precision and efficiency. She then served as a Fannie Mae closer at Chicago’s largest REO law firm from 2010 to 2016, gaining extensive experience with complex foreclosure-related closings.

Between 2017 and 2023, she worked as a Real Estate Paralegal at Popovic Law Firm. In 2024, she continued in that same role as the firm transitioned to Searles Law Group, maintaining her commitment to delivering exceptional service and support in all areas of real estate law.
