About Me
Knowledgeable, caring and patient is how my past clients have described me. I’m proud of these important qualities and I think it comes from the fact that when you’re my client your best interest is my main priority.
We’re in an ever-changing real estate market and I make it a point to be thoroughly informed in market trends. I use the latest research tools to inform my buyers and sellers of these conditions so they can make an informed decision. My past experience as an engineer and in the construction industry gives me a superior understanding of potential problems in a home. Additionally, my personal experience rehabbing a home and working as a landlord benefit my clients who may be interested in doing the same.
There is nothing more satisfying to me than finding my clients their dream home. When that involves selling their current home, I use an aggressive impact marketing program to get results. I give my sellers regular market and marketing activity updates. Even if owning their current home hasn’t been the dream they hoped it would be, I can assist with a short-sale, renting the property or pointing them in the right direction to make their home more affordable. Not everyone’s dream property is the same; my experience in all types of transactions: traditional, relocation, bank-owned and short-sales helps me guide my clients through what can be a difficult process.
Bottom line: I want what’s best for you. For sellers this means selling for the best price, in the least amount of time and with the least amount of inconvenience. For buyers it means taking the time to educate them in the market and finding the right property. If the right property isn’t on the market or we need to look at different areas and property types, we wait or change our strategy.
I also believe it’s important to give back to the community. For this reason I’ve served on the John C. Coonley School local school council, was a founding board member of the Friends of Coonley, acted as the marketing committee director for the Northcenter Chamber of Commerce and volunteer at some of our great local not for profits like the Neighborhood Boys & Girls Club and Common Pantry.

Mike had provided my wife and I with absolutely exceptional service. Mike was very patient, and extremely helpful with our home buying process. As far as we are concerned the best agent ever. If you are a first time home buyer or even a 5th time home buyer and are looking for a new home Mike is the guy to go to.
I can not recommend Mike highly enough. He stuck with me through a very long and difficult financing process, and contractor selection process. He was always available to meet us at the property, and guide us with any questions or concerns we had. I found this especially commendable in light of the small commission he was due, as the purchase price was only $190K.
Mike was a pleasure to work with! First time home owner and Mike made the process so much easier for me. He was always available and consistently answered my calls, my emails, my text messages etc. He was polite and excited about purchasing my home just as much as I was.
Mike did a very nice job, he was aways there for us, and answered all my questions.
We never really felt overwhelmed by the entire home buying process, and this is because of Mike. He was always patient with us, and answered every single question (there were many) with in-depth, knowledgeable answers, making sure that we understood everything.
He always made himself available and was flexible with our busy schedules
Mike was our real estate agent when my wife, my mother-in-law, and I bought our home in the North Center neighborhood of Chicago. It was great to have someone as thorough and educated as he is to help us with the biggest financial transaction of our lives.

"It was a pleasure to work with Mike. He was very accessible and communicative and extremely knowledgeable about the market. We appreciated his availability and positive attitude." Chris and Elizabeth
"Mike was excellent. We were new to the area and this process and he was very helpful every step of the way. He really stayed on top of things for us. We greatly appreciate his efforts." Eric and Rebecca
Mike hooked me up with all the right people & I was able to close in two weeks including the Christmas Holiday. It couldn't have been much smoother! - Derek
My last experience was stressful and unpleasant, but Mike made this experience a piece of cake. He's fantastic!
We enjoy working with Mike and can't think of any areas he could improve upon. We like using Mike because he won't push us into buying something, he takes the time to show us everything on the market and if we don't like it we wait. - Bryan & Cari
Mike was great this was our first home purchase and Mike made us confident in our decision and we are very happy in our new home. Mike maintained a level of professionalism & trustworthiness that made us comfortable. - Chris & Chris
