It's Always Cooler By the Lake.
With 25 years of experience as a Chicago Realtor and 3 decades and counting as a Chicago resident, my love for this city and the lake it depends on is reflected in my work and advocacy. My aim is to share that body of knowledge with you as you prepare for a purchase or sale, absorb any stress and anxiety through to closing, and represent your best interests in real estate investment each and every day.
Responsiveness to your specific needs, prompt and clear communication, and comprehensive market education are my paramount priorities and the skills I focus on.
The essence of real estate is the relationship between people and the place where they live.
Chicago is my roots, my home and my best teacher. It's great lake is my daily inspiration. When you live here long enough, you learn that it all depends on the Great Lake. Lake Michigan is our hydration, our refreshment, our recreation, and makes this region poised for phenomenal growth as a global destination for investment and quality of life and culture for decades to come. Conservation of the ecology and watersheds of this region are my passions when I am not showing real estate or negotating contracts.
In my 46 years here, I've lived at 11 different addresses, spanning 6 neighborhoods. I've had the outstanding privilege of growing up in a cosmopolitan city and learning from it: attending an outstanding Chicago public school for 9 years, then to a near south-side Jesuit High School, and returning from earning my Bachelor of Arts from the University of Vermont to earn my Law Degree from De Paul University School of Law.
Growing up in Chicago was invaluable in shaping my worldview, morality, and work ethic. Chicago is a part of me and I genuinely care about it's overall health, progress, and evolution.
