About Me

At the heart of every great home is a story – a story of dreams, aspirations, and a place where memories are made. For me, that story began as the daughter of immigrant parents, who came to this country in search of a better life. They taught me the value of hard work, perseverance, and the importance of having a place to call home.

I am Noreen Haque-Colombe. I’ve been a teacher, a mom, a realtor, and most importantly, a lifelong learner. Growing up, my parents worked tirelessly to build a future for our family, and that passion for progress has shaped everything I do. I understand the deep, personal connection people have with finding their perfect home because it is a journey I’ve taken myself—having moved across the country and traveled through Asia. These experiences have given me a unique perspective on what people truly want when searching for a place to settle down. It’s not just about square footage or location; it’s about how a home can support your dreams, your future, and your way of life.

My passion for real estate goes beyond just helping people buy or sell homes. It’s about creating a positive, lasting impact on people’s lives. Whether you're a first-time homebuyer or looking to find your forever home, I understand the emotions, decisions, and challenges that come with it. I’m here to make the process not only easier but also more fulfilling for you.

In addition to my work as a realtor, I believe in the power of community and the importance of giving back. That’s why I’m an active member of the Roseville Chamber of Commerce, supporting local businesses and helping our community grow stronger. As a proud DePaul University alum, I also serve as an alumni ambassador, helping to connect and inspire future generations of students. Go Blue Demons!

Further deepening my commitment to the community, I proudly serve on the Catholic School Advisory Committee at St. Rose in Roseville, CA, contributing to the growth and success of education within our schools. Education has always been close to my heart, and I strive to ensure that children have the opportunity to learn and grow in an environment that nurtures both their academic and personal development.

I’m also honored to be a member of the Salvation Army’s Women’s Auxiliary, where I work alongside incredible women to support those in need. As a Beauty Boost Ambassador, I believe in championing women and empowering them to feel confident and beautiful, inside and out. Giving back to the women in my community is one of my greatest passions.

When you work with me, you’re not just getting a real estate professional; you’re gaining a partner who understands what it means to build a better life, a better community, and a brighter future. Together, we’ll navigate the journey of finding your perfect home, one that suits your needs and reflects your values.

Let’s make your next chapter the best one yet.

Noreen listens and is very responsive and understands real estate. Some realtors, (I've met many in 40 years will push for the sale in resulting in overpaying.) I like the question she poses, "From 1-10 what do you like about this house?"

We recently had the pleasure of staying at this beautiful rental house, and I can't recommend it highly enough! From the moment we arrived, we were in awe of the stunning decor and the attention to detail throughout the home. It was not only stylish but also incredibly comfortable, making it the perfect retreat for our Girls Weekend. The location was ideal, providing easy access to local attractions and downtown Chicago, while still offering a peaceful atmosphere. Our host was exceptional—very responsive and accommodating, ensuring we had everything we needed for a smooth stay. It’s clear they take great pride in their property, and it made all the difference in our experience. If you’re looking for a cozy, beautifully maintained place to stay, look no further. Five stars all the way!
