Buying a home is probably the most expensive investment you will make in your life. As an agent, my approach is grounded by years of business experience. I was the Chief Financial Officer of Grubb & Ellis, a publicly traded commercial real estate brokerage firm for many years and the CFO of the Balcor Company, a large Chicago-based real estate investment and management company. With my business approach to real estate, I work to sell your home at premium pricing and/or help you buy your ideal home at bargain pricing. My recent stats tell the story: My clients sold their homes quickly, an average of 44 days on the market vs. 194 days for other agents. This saved my clients five months of expenses including mortgages, taxes, insurance, and assessments in addition to having the proceeds of the sale in their pockets quickly. My clients sold their homes at an average sales price of 95% of the original list price compared to 88% for other agents. These overall results allowed my sellers to achieve bottom line premiums of 5% to 15%. And my buyers found their dream home while achieving favorable pricing too.
Also you may want to know I support a number of philanthropies and civic organizations and serve on the board of the Skokie Chamber of Commerce.
I earned a Bachelor's degree in Liberal Arts and Sciences and a Masters of Social Service Administration from the University of Illinois, Urbana. And I have another masters degree in Accountancy from DePaul University, Chicago. Please call me to discuss how I can help you achieve your real estate goals (847-477-2115).
