Hi, I am Maura Harrington. I was born and raised in
the west suburbs and have lived here for over 36 years. I have been a
Realtor® for the past 7 years and joined Smothers Realty Group in 2002.
Prior to working in real estate, I spent six years as a Meeting Planner
for the American Bar Association. Both careers have required strict
attention to detail and being very organized.
I love working in
real estate because I enjoy working with people and helping them focus on
what they want. I give 110% to my clients and find it very rewarding once
we can find their dream home. I also enjoy renovating homes. In fact, my
husband and I have done extensive projects on all four of the homes we
have owned. My experience with renovating helps me provide my clients with
knowledge regarding projected costs for repairs and/or remodeling.

Testimonials
“Maura was fantastic to work with. She had our home
sold in the first weekend it was on the market. She is very thorough and
really managed the entire process for us. We had complete confidence
everything was being taken care of. She really made a stressful process
less stressful for us,” said Eileen McCarthy, who sold her Riverside
home.
“We had an excellent experience working with Maura. She is a
hard worker, great with following-up and called us after every showing
with feedback. I would highly recommend her,” said Susan Groenwald, who
sold her LaGrange home.
“Maura was an absolute pleasure to work
with. We relocated here from Connecticut and did not know the area at all.
Maura knew the west suburbs like the back of her hand. She was also good
at explaining the nuances of different towns. She made herself available
the entire weekend that we came out to preview homes. Thanks to Maura, we
found our home in one weekend,” said Mimi Bradley, who bought a home in
Hinsdale.
