Born and raised in Chicago, I have moved several times throughout the city and have an extensive knowledge of this remarkable city's neighborhoods and suburbs.  I love the real estate market, this is my life. I couldn't have selected a better vocation for myself than the one I am involved in. When you love your profession, you're good at it.  I bought my first house when I was 18 years old and rented it out when I went to college.  I have a finance degree from ISU and began my career working for a major bank in Chicago but always had the desire to pursue Real Estate.   I have been a real estate broker since 2002 and still enjoy ever single moment of it.  I love working with buyers, sellers, brokers, lawyers, short sale negotiators, title companies, contractors, loan officers, inspectors, investors, landlords, and just about anything that has to do with real estate.  I also own rentals properties, flip houses, and work in traditional real estate.  I am a full time real estate broker with the knowledge and experience to handle any deal.
