In reflecting on her career thus far, she notes her approach is marked by her commitment to helping first-time homebuyers achieve their dreams of homeownership.

Most recently, for 2024 and again for 2025, she was honored as a Connecticut Five Star Award Winner, further solidifying her reputation as a top-performing realtor. In all she has achieved, she attributes much of her success to the values instilled in her by her parents, particularly the work ethic demonstrated by her mother, who grew up on a farm.

Moreover, being the eldest of four siblings, Ms. Balko naturally developed leadership qualities, which she has embraced and leveraged throughout her professional and personal life. Along with her upbringing, she credits the skills she acquired through earning a Bachelor of Arts in English and journalism from Central Connecticut State University, which she completed in 2007, as being instrumental in her ability to communicate effectively and navigate the complexities of real estate transactions. Beyond of her professional work, she is passionate about animals, and her belief in teaching responsibility through caring for them aligns with her commitment to community service and youth development.

Ms. Balko is passionate about her involvement with the Hartford County 4H Camp, where she serves on the board of trustees and as a 4H leader. In her leisure, she enjoys spending time with animals and horseback riding. She would like to acknowledge her husband saying, "Without his belief in me and his support of my goals, none of this would be possible."
