Licensed in Illinois · Michigan · Florida
With over 90 closed transactions and 5 years of hands-on experience, I bring a rare combination of multi-market expertise, local knowledge, and investor-focused strategy to every deal. Based in the Chicago area and also active in Michigan and Florida, I’m one of the few agents licensed across Illinois, Michigan, and Florida — giving my clients a true single point of contact whether they’re buying, selling, relocating, or building a portfolio across state lines.
In Chicagoland, I specialize in both residential buyers and sellers as well as investment properties — including Section 8 / HCV rentals, fix-and-flip opportunities, and multi-unit acquisitions. I know these neighborhoods, I know the numbers, and I know how to move properties quickly and profitably.
In West Michigan, I focus on the Lake Michigan lakeshore corridor — Holland, Grand Haven, Saugatuck, Douglas, and the greater Grand Rapids area. Whether you’re a first-time buyer, a Chicago-area family looking to relocate, or someone searching for a vacation home on the water, I bring genuine local knowledge and a growing network in this market.
In Southwest Florida, I serve the Fort Myers, Naples, and Sarasota — a go-to destination for Midwest snowbirds, vacation rental investors, and retirees. My Illinois and Michigan client base often leads directly to Florida transactions, making me an ideal partner for clients making that lifestyle or investment move south.
I also offer flat rate fee options that can save clients thousands compared to traditional commission structures — ask me directly for details.
If you want an agent who picks up the phone, knows the market cold, and has the licenses and track record to back it up — let’s talk.
