I began as a part-time realtor while I was still a full-time professor at DePaul University. I discovered that I loved working with people at such a significant moment in their lives. So, when my business started to take off, I committed myself to it full time.

I was born and raised in England, and came to the United States for graduate school. I have a PhD in English literature from Brown University, and continue to read and write a lot as well as to teach an occasional class. I have always been interested in real estate, though, and after my wife and I bought a condominium I got my license. My skills as an educator continue to serve me, whether I am guiding first-time buyers through the process of buying a home or helping investors to analyze appreciation in a particular neighborhood.

Whoever you are and whatever your real estate needs, I will give you the best possible service. I’ll explain anything you want to know about the process of buying, selling, and financing property. I will help you to prioritize what you need and what you want. I’ll give you an accurate appraisal of the market and how your plans fit into it. I will stay in close touch with you as the process unfolds. And I will work my butt off to find or sell your home.

I have experience with all kinds of property in all sorts of price ranges all over Chicago. So, if you want to buy a studio in Uptown or a penthouse downtown, if you want to sell a fixer upper in Albany Park or a mansion in Lincoln Park, please give me a call.
