Suzie Calvo

Caton Commercial Real Estate Group

In just a few years, I pivoted from an entrepreneur that started my own commercial property management company to using my skills and expertise full-time to find business owners a new location.  

I began my journey by starting a commercial property management company in 2019.  Armed with a keen eye for detail (I'm sure from my teaching background), a passion for efficient operations, and a knack for fostering strong tenant relationships, I successfully built a reputation for excellence in the property management area.  I worked closely with landlords to growth their buildings occupancy while maximizing returns for the property owners, and creating inviting spaces for tenants.  

As my property management company grew, I began to dive deeper in the realm of commercial real estate.  Recognizing the potential for growth and the desire to expand my horizons, I made the decision to transition full-time into serving business owners to find their ideal location.  With the solid foundation in property management, I bring a unique perspective to their new endeavor.  My desire and determination for knowledge to help my clients find the right location is my ultimate goal.

Key Mortgage


I have been in the mortgage industry for over twenty years. I have seen the ups and the downs of this industry and one thing I learned is, no matter what, communication and customer service are the key to happy clients.

Getting a home loan has many steps, and some of them can appear to be tedious or overwhelming. My goal is to make the process as simple and user friendly as possible. I do this by implementing new technologies to upload your application and documents in a safe and secure manner. I also make sure every person associated with the loan transaction knows where we are at every step of the way.

People have many choices when it comes to obtaining financing these days. Clients and agents choose to work with me and my team at Key Mortgage Services because I over communicate and deliver AMAZING customer service, products and rates.

I am a graduate of DePaul University, longtime Northside of Chicago resident who now resides in Plainfield, devoted Auntie, weekend chef and step mom to 3 amazing boys.

I promise to always work hard for you and put the warm personal touch into your mortgage process.
