Local Market Areas
  • I grew up in Berwyn/Cicero and am active there as well as in Lyons and Brookfield. I am quite comfortable in Stickney, Forest View, Riverside and North Riverside.
  • I am most active in Downers Grove and the neighboring communities of Westmont, Darien, Willowbrook, Lisle, and Woodridge. My sales history includes Naperville and the Fox Valley of Aurora, Burr Ridge, Hinsdale and Clarendon Hills.
  • My listing and sales experience includes Glen Ellyn, Wheaton, Winfield, West Chicago, Lombard, Villa Park and Elmhurst.
  • Having owned and managed an office in Skokie for 11 years, I am familiar with Chicago's North side and lakefront properties and comfortable with Skokie, Evanston, Morton Grove, Lincolnwood and Niles. I served as an officer on the Skokie Chamber of Commerce and the North Shore Board of Realtors.
  • I have sold and listed property from Oak Lawn to Gurnee to Lake Zurich to Genoa and parts in between for family, friends, and repeat clients who trust me as their one-and-only realtor.
My Objective & Philosophy
  • My objective is to market properties utilizing sound planning, professional ethics, persuasive skills, and a strong company support system.
  • If I do not feel fully qualified to assist you in a particular geographic location or type of real estate I would like to recommend another agent to you who can best help you meet your needs.
  • I follow the Golden Rule, 'Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.' I do not like high pressure sales or dishonesty.
  • I recognize that my clients wish to work with me for the following reasons: 1. They like me. 2. They feel I know what I am doing. 3. Most importantly, they trust me.
  • It is my goal to be a resource before, during and after the sale. I rely on a network of other professionals including attorneys, inspectors, and lenders to fully serve each client. It is not unusual for me to meet with a client a year or two before their actual move. Early preparation is best.
Areas of Expertise
  • My primary focus is residential single family homes, townhomes and condos. My sales are generally resale properties, not new construction.
  • I am well qualified to and have sold multi-family and investment properties.
  • My career has weathered and many market conditions and various interest rates. Having sold property at 17% interest, I am not afraid of new challenges. Where there is a will... there is a way.
  • I find it equally satisfying working with seasoned buyers and first home buyers. As a Seniors Real Estate Specialist, I especially enjoy my many friendships and business relationships with senior citizens. The real estate climate is constantly changing and I try to help each person I assist to fully understand the steps involved in buying or selling and to explain things in layman's terms. From start to finish, we are a team.
