The best advice I give to buyers is to get clear on your budget and what you truly want. Don’t just focus on what you qualify for. Think about what you’re comfortable paying each month and what fits your lifestyle. Talk to a lender early so you know your numbers. Be ready to move when the right property shows up because good homes don’t last. Stay open-minded during your search. Sometimes the best opportunities need a little work or vision. Most important have a solid team behind you. The right agent lender and support can make the entire process smoother and less stressful.

If you’re trying to sell your home start by making sure it’s ready to show. That doesn’t mean spending a lot just focus on simple clean updates that help it look its best. Photos matter and curb appeal makes a big first impression. Pricing it right from the beginning is key. If it sits too long it loses attention and leverage. I also have access to Revitalize which is an exclusive program through Coldwell Banker that lets you make improvements now and pay at closing. It’s a great option for sellers who want top dollar without coming out of pocket. Having the right agent and game plan makes all the difference.

I’ve worked with a wide range of clients from first-time homebuyers to seasoned investors. I’ve helped families find their forever homes guided out-of-state buyers through remote closings and supported flippers and landlords with off-market deals and construction help. I also work with professionals relocating to the Chicagoland area and people navigating tax sales and investment properties. I handle residential and commercial deals including multi-unit buildings mixed-use properties and light industrial spaces. Whether it’s a home flip rental or business property I know how to break down the numbers and help my clients make smart confident moves.

One recent transaction that stands out was a deal I closed for an older client who had owned her home for over 40 years. She was nervous about the process and needed someone who could walk her through every step without pressure. I helped her prepare the home using Coldwell Banker’s Revitalize program so she didn’t have to spend money upfront. We got it cleaned staged and marketed right. Within days we had multiple offers and ended up selling well over asking. The best part was seeing how relieved and grateful she was at the closing table. That one reminded me that this business is really about people not just property.

I got started in real estate after working on a few flip projects and realizing I had a passion for the entire process. From finding the right deal to overseeing the rehab to helping someone move in I liked being involved from start to finish. That hands-on experience led me to get licensed so I could offer more value to buyers sellers and investors. Over time I built out my companies in construction and media to support every angle of the business. Now I use that full-circle knowledge to help clients make smart moves whether they’re buying their first home or building their investment portfolio.

Yes I do. On top of being a licensed Realtor I’m also a licensed general contractor and an active investor. That means I don’t just understand the paperwork—I know how to evaluate properties spot potential issues and estimate rehab costs on the spot. I’ve also completed training through the Andrew Holmes real estate mastery program which focuses on tax sales creative deals and building long-term wealth. My background gives clients a big advantage whether they’re buying selling or investing because I can guide them through the full process with real experience not just theory.
