Baylee has received the Peoria Area Association of Realtors Community Service Award and most recently the Pekin Area Chamber of Commerce Community Recognition Award for 2021. 


Baylee recognizes her civic involvement has been fostered by other women in leadership roles. Baylee identifies Mary Ann Ladendorf of RE/MAX Traders, Unlimited Ladendorf and Gambetti for pushing her professionally and for creating a culture of civic involvement. She recognizes Barb Strand as a "big cheerleader" from the moment Baylee returned to Pekin from college. Baylee also recognizes Debbie Simon, Chris Schwartz, Katie Kriegsman, Marggie Seeyle, and Kathleen Mackaman as influential women in her career and community. 


We are proud of Baylee's extensive commitments and dedication to making the Pekin area a great place to live, work and play.
