About Mike
WHY WOULD I WANT TO WORK WITH THIS GUY?
Excellent question.
Here are some reasons you might:
Mike Danek will be professional, informative, honest, and fun(ny). He takes his role seriously – teacher, therapist, tour guide, confidante, financial consultant, therapist (yes, I said that one twice) – most simply because he cares.
You don’t want just ANY agent. You really don’t. You want a full-time, committed, analytical, Chicago Public School informed, fun, low-pressure, high-energy, community-minded agent – these are the reasons you might choose me. Above all, you want an agent who is patient and knowledgeable – two attributes Michael possesses in abundance… plus, humility.
You will know the Chicago Real Estate market as he does; you will always be heard, and you will acquire a life-long advocate who will guide you through this process with honesty, integrity, and support.
Mike Danek was where you are once – in need of a home, amidst life changes and transitions. He earned a Real Estate License in 2004, grabbed his girlfriend (now wife), and went looking for properties that met BOTH their needs and that they both LOVED. Mike enjoyed this process and found it fulfilling. Now, he gets to help others do the same – help them with one of the biggest financial decisions of their lives. In previous lives, he has been a Civil Engineer and an Options Trader. In my everyday life, He is a grateful father of three and a supportive (working on this…) husband since 2006.
Mike was born and raised in Jackson Heights, NY until the age of 11, when his parents dragged the family to Millstone Township, NJ. Mike lived there until the exceedingly frigid Midwest winter of 1998 when he decided that January 2nd would be the perfect day to move to Chicago. Mike Danek has lived in and loved Chicago ever since.
When he is not working, Mike loves to hang out with his family. He enjoys playing golf at EVERY opportunity and frequently finds myself watching the NY Mets and the NY Giants with ardent fervor and hopeless fury. Mike is constantly trying to manage/upgrade my internet connection or find interesting articles to share with his wife. One of my favorite yearly activities is organizing a winter clothing drive for those in need. HIS MISSION STATEMENT TO YOU Mike promises to be interesting, informative, and insightful. He will listen more than talk. Mike will make sure you are in a comfortable safe environment and support you in making the best decision possible.
Mike Danek’s goal is to help you in every way that he can.
