DOWNERS GROVE, IL., MARCH 2025 — PLACE, the real estate industry’s only all-in-one business services and technology platform for top teams at any brokerage, announced today that Wendy and Mark Pawlak and their team, Pawlak Properties, are now powered by PLACE. PLACE improves profitability and production to make running a real estate business easier.

Over their careers, Wendy and Mark have completed more than 750 transactions, earning a trusted reputation in their market.
Wendy began her real estate journey in 2006, transitioning from a fulfilling nine-year career as a kindergarten teacher.
