4 Generations
Considering Sabrina Glover’s passion for real estate and her determination when it comes to closing deals, it may come as a surprise to learn that Sabrina didn’t consider becoming a REALTOR® while she was growing up, especially when you learn that her family has been in the industry for four generations. Sabrina’s great-grandfather, Samuel Romano, was an agent in the 1950s and ’60s; her grandmother, Camille Romano Failla, started Failla Realty in Brookfield, in 1979; and her father, Glenn Failla, started as a REALTOR® in 1978. “He is still going strong,” states Sabrina. “My father has held many titles over his forty-year career, including LaGrange Area Association Board President and LaGrange Area Association MLS President in the 1990s. He was a great mentor to me in the early years of my real estate career.” Sabrina attended Downers Grove North where she met her now-husband, Danny. They were high school sweethearts—they dated senior year and went to the prom together. Thirteen years later, they reunited and married. But before that, Sabrina attended Elmhurst College. She originally studied to be a math teacher but eventually chose a different field. “After a challenging, long-term substitute-teacher position, I accepted a job as an executive assistant. That led me on a new path as well as jobs during my twenties,” she says. “I learned how to deal with all different types of people, how to prioritize, and how to be detail-oriented and task-driven to obtain success.”
Business Growth
Initially, Sabrina earned her real estate license to earn supplemental income, retaining the flexibility to keep her full-time job as an assistant. However, after quickly experiencing all the personal rewards that came with helping clients fall in love with their new homes, she realized real estate should have been her career all along. “Before becoming a full-time REALTOR®, I was more reserved and [felt] uncomfortable in the spotlight,” says Sabrina. “Now I’m more confident in my abilities to put myself out there. My background in teaching is useful when guiding clients through such a daunting process, and so is the fact that real estate is ‘in my blood.’” Sabrina’s team, The Glover Team, recently added a new member. “We are thrilled to announce Krysti Cioch as the newest member of The Glover Team! Krysti will be a significant asset to our team. She has twenty years of experience in sales and customer service, and will help us make sure that we deliver the same quality service and results that our clients have come to expect,” says Sabrina. “We are extremely grateful for all of our loyal clients who have supported us over the years,” she adds. “I am especially proud to take this next step in expanding our team. I feel it symbolizes our success and I am excited to see what else the future has in store for The Glover Team.”
When not busy growing her business, Sabrina enjoys finding ways to unwind and focus on each day. “I enjoy the relaxation of yoga, and simple things like starting my day on the patio with a cup of coffee,” says Sabrina. “It is the perfect way to relax, gather my thoughts, and prepare for the day ahead. When time allows, I love to sneak off to Elysian Nail Spa for a mani-pedi.”
In the Community/Family
She also prioritizes giving back to her community, especially through the organization Sharing Connections. This local charity provides toys, coats, and other items to families in need during the holiday season. She also supports the Downers Grove YMCA, including their annual gala fundraiser to provide scholarships for young children in the area. “I love donating to this gala each year and attending in-person to show my support,” she says. “My sister-in-law organizes the event, so it is a very meaningful cause to our family.” The couple’s extended family is large, and they are close and encouraging of each other. Sabrina’s husband, Danny, also studied business and real estate in college and bought his first investment property at age nineteen. Together, they now own and manage five single-family homes and four commercial properties. Their shared experiences have made real estate not just a job to them, but a rewarding mission: a route to their “dream life” and the freedom to enjoy it. Sabrina and Danny’s dream life certainly includes their son, Camren (almost one), and his sister, who is expected to arrive in September. “I don’t think there are many careers that reward you as much personally with each transaction,” says Sabrina. “It is equally satisfying when a client is happily in their new home and thankful for my service.” “I am honored to carry on the family tradition of real estate,” states Sabrina. “I hope that my kids see how passionate I am about my career, and that they can find something they love just as much.” “I feel so fortunate to be doing what we, my family and I, love to do every day,” says Sabrina. “It really is a dream come true.”
