While I help buyers and sellers in many areas, my main focus is the southwest suburbs and southwest Chicago area.  From 2008-2010, I have been the #1 Realtor in Oak Lawn for residential single-family real estate property based on the number of units closed and sales volume.  For 2009 and 2010, I was the #1 Coldwell Banker agent in the South Chicagoland region.

I am thankful to my clients who trusted me to sell their homes or help them find their dream homes and have referred me business over the years because without you this success would not have been possible. 

In a tough market you need a

Nationally Awarded Realtor

2009-2011 have been difficult for most people trying to sell their homes.  If you are someone who has tried to sell your home and was unsuccessful or are thinking about selling your home but are worried about the market I want to offer you an opportunity of hope.  If you are serious about selling and want to work with a Realtor who will work for you and make results happen and not just wait for things to happen to your property then I want to help you.

The fact is all Realtors are not the same.  If we were we would get the same results.  We vary based on marketing skills, technological expertise, knowledge of areas, quality of service to clients, and willingness to continue working until your home is sold.

Despite the tough past two years my sales are up by 94% and 2010 was my best year ever, including being the #1 Realtor in Oak Lawn and Hometown (based on sales volume) and the #1 Coldwell Banker agent in the south Chicagoland, northwest Indiana, and southwest Michigan area.  I was also Nationally awarded by NRT as the #3 Sale Associate for all their real estate companies including Coldwell Banker, Coldwell Banker Commercial, ERA, Sotheby's and the Corcoran Group. This does not just happen by chance.  I work hard for my clients by providing them with quality presentations of their home, in-depth knowledge of the real estate market, wide angle high definition photographs, a full time office to provide clients with the service they deserve, and advertising on over 35 popular real estate websites, which most Realtors cannot or are unwilling to offer to their clients.

In 2007, I was awarded Realtor Magazine's National "30 under 30" award.  I am proud of this accomplishment and consider it affirmation for the years of service to my clients as a Realtor.  To read the article please visit Realtor Magazine Online.

Your home and financial future is important.  You would not pick a doctor to do surgery on you just because you know them or they are a friend of the family.  When choosing someone to help you with your home choose someone with a proven track record of results even during the difficult times.  Let me help you sell your home today.
