My passion for real estate, architecture, and helping others does not go unnoticed by my clients. I strive to foster genuine and meaningful relationships by helping buyers, sellers, luxury renters, landlords, and investors navigate the local housing market with the least amount of friction.
It takes time to become a trusted expert. Over the last decade, I have proven my deep understanding of the market and process by assisting over 1,000 clients across $95M in real estate transactions. Such success is attributed to my commitment to client advocacy, transparency, education, and of course lots of hard work. Clients value my outgoing personality, laser-focused attention to detail, and my commitment to providing lifelong advocacy.
Originally from the southwest suburb of Plainfield, Illinois, I studied Architecture at Arizona State University and have been a Chicago resident for over a decade. I have lived across many city neighborhoods including Lincoln Park, the Gold Coast, East Lakeview and currently, Ravenswood. In my leisure time, you can find me exploring city gems with close friends, traveling abroad, or relaxing in my hammock.
