Amy Ruminski has built her career around people. Connection, communication, and service have always been at the heart of what she does. Her path to real estate wasn’t straightforward…but every chapter led her exactly where she was meant to be.
Amy began her career in television at just 18, interning for The Jenny Jones Show. Her warmth and drive quickly earned her a full-time role, and before long she was managing teams for The Jerry Springer Show and The Steve Wilkos Show. Working behind the scenes taught her how to lead under pressure, keep calm when things get hectic, and handle all kinds of personalities with empathy and grace.
When both shows moved out of state, Amy transitioned into hospitality with Chicago’s DineAmic Group, where her love of people and fast-paced environments continued to thrive. Still, real estate had always been her dream. In 2017, with the full support of her husband and daughter, she decided to make the leap and never looked back.
Today, Amy is a proud member of Your Home Group with Baird Warner, working alongside Sabrina and Anthony Erangey. She brings a hands-on, strategic approach to every transaction, combining market knowledge with calm, honest guidance. Her clients know her for her pricing and staging expertise, strong negotiation skills, and genuine care for the people she serves.
She specializes in residential sales throughout the Chicagoland suburbs and has a special place in her heart for first-time buyers and sellers navigating big life transitions. Amy works closely with attorneys, inspectors, and lenders to make sure every detail is handled and every client feels protected and informed from start to finish.
Her business is built almost entirely on referrals and repeat clients, a reflection of the trust she earns and the relationships she keeps.
Outside of work, Amy finds joy in faith, family, and everyday moments at home with her husband, Aaron, their daughter, Gianna, and their two dogs: Dexter and Lucy.
Real estate was not even on my radar. At the time, I was working in the restaurant industry when someone changed the direction of my life with one conversation. A real estate broker had watched the way I interacted with people - how Iremembered names, families, favorite drinks, and the small details that made someone feel welcomed and seen. He told me something I have never forgotten:
I can teach real estate. What I cannot teach is that quality.
He believed the way I cared for people would make me a great REALTOR®. So that same day, I enrolled in real estate classes, even though I knew very little about the industry. I did not know then that it would become one of the most meaningful decisions of my life.
Over the years, I have realized he was not really talking about houses. He was talking about people.
Today, that is still what I believe this business is about. Homes matter. Marketing matters. Negotiation matters. Preparation matters. But none of those come before the person trusting me with the decision.
Every client deserves someone who will educate them, prepare them, advocate for them, and always put their best interests first. I am not here to pressure anyone into a decision. I am here to help people understand their options and make the decision that is right for their life.
A client once told me they believed God guided me toward this path to help people. I have never forgotten that either. My faith reminds me that real estate is not simply a career; it is one of the ways I can serve people during moments that matter deeply.
Whether someone is buying a first home, selling the place they have loved for years, helping a parent move, navigating an estate, or searching for the next chapter, I consider it a privilege to walk beside them.
Because to me, real estate has never just been about houses. It is about people - and helping them find a place that truly feels like home.
