MY STORY: I’m Mike Berg, co-owner of Berg Properties and a full-time Realtor serving the Western Suburbs of Chicago.
My mission is simple: give people the kind of real estate guidance I wish I had when I first started out—clear, honest, knowledgeable, and focused entirely on the client’s needs, not the industry’s habits.
My path into real estate wasn’t typical. After a serious car accident and years of rehab, I realized what matters most: people, not spreadsheets. That shift pushed me from IT into appraising, and eventually into real estate—because I wanted work that actually helped people, not just filled a calendar.
When I was finally able to walk again, I knew I wanted a career with real purpose—something grounded in real conversations, real families, and real decisions. That led me deeper into real estate, then into appraisal work, and ultimately to building a company with my cousin Scott that reflects the kind of service we always felt people deserved: honest, responsive, and completely focused on their needs.
WHY I SERVE THE WESTERN SUBURBS: Starting out I spent 14 years as a licensed residential and commercial appraiser and dabbled in real estate investing. That background still shapes everything I do—how I value homes, how I advise clients on improvements, how I read the market, and how I negotiate. Today, with over 21 years in the business, I’ve helped more than 2,000 buyers and sellers across the Western Suburbs achieve their goals, from first-time buyers to luxury sellers to families navigating major life transitions.
Serving: Naperville · Hinsdale · Burr Ridge · Oak Brook · Downers Grove · Western Springs · Willowbrook · Dairen · Westmont · Lisle · La Grange · Wheaton · and surrounding Western Suburbs.
HOW I WORK WITH YOU: You won’t find me handing clients off to a team or disappearing after the listing appointment. I’m involved in every showing, every conversation, every valuation, every negotiation.
Real estate is personal. It’s emotional. It’s financial. And it deserves more attention than most big brokerages can give.
That’s why Berg Properties was built intentionally small and intentionally hands-on. We stay flexible, stay ahead of the marketing curve, and stay focused on what clients actually need—clear communication, expert pricing, strong presentation, and the confidence that someone is advocating for them at every moment. No two homes are the same, and no two situations are either. Your plan should be as tailored as the property you’re buying or selling.
CREDENTIALS & RESULTS: Over the years, that approach has led to consistent results: CAR Rookie of the Year, Top 1% in Chicagoland every year since 2004, Top 30 in DuPage County, and more than $850M in career sales. But the real success is simple—clients who trust me enough to call back years later, refer friends and family, or let me guide them through the next chapter of their lives.
Whether you're buying, selling, relocating, downsizing, or preparing for a major transition, I'm here to make the process easier, smarter, and always centered on your best outcome.
