Description

Since 2001, I’ve been dedicated to helping people navigate the real estate market with confidence and success. Over the years, I’ve weathered major market shifts—from post-9/11 challenges to thriving seller’s markets and competitive buyer’s markets. My focus has always been on the people I serve, not just the transactions. I firmly believe that real estate transforms lives by building generational wealth, and that belief drives everything I do.

I listen, I work for you, and I genuinely want to help you. Whether you’re buying your first home or selling your fifth, I bring the experience, tools, and marketing avenues needed to help you succeed. I tailor every strategy to your unique needs, always keeping your goals front and center.

As a top-selling broker and dedicated real estate professional, I was named "Realtor of the Year" in 2018 by the Three Rivers Association of Realtors—an award that reflects my commitment to excellence. I’ve also had the privilege of serving as president of our local association and as a director for the Illinois Association of Realtors, advocating for both my clients and the real estate community. Now, as the Designated Managing Broker and Owner of EXIT Real Estate Specialists, I’m proud to lead an office that empowers agents to serve with integrity, expertise, and heart.

My roots in service run deep—my father was a police officer who was shot in the line of duty and survived, and my wife is a proud union member with Local 440. That foundation of resilience, dedication, and advocacy shapes the way I do business every day.

As a homeowner and a family man, I understand how life changes influence real estate needs. There’s nothing more fulfilling than helping people find their ideal home, guiding them through the market’s ups and downs, and seeing how each transaction improves their lives. Real estate isn’t just my career; it’s my passion, and I’m here to help you make the most of the market, one home at a time
