Dream Big. Tell the truth. Work hard. Produce great results. Create win-win opportunities.
Thats the motto of my business and the mission of my life. Things haven't always been roses. But it takes dirt to grow. The things that I want out of business are the same things that I want out of life. Even when life has thrown me curveballs, it's how you dust yourself off, adjust, compete and triumph.
I'm a real estate broker who has lived in Naperville and serviced the greater Chicagoland area for over a decade. I began in the real estate industry at the ripe age of twelve, watching and helping my parents as they bought and sold several investment properties and managed rental properties. I attended and graduated with honors from Oral Roberts University in 2007 with a degree in Finance.
After graduation, I came home to Chicago to work in corporate America for ComEd for 4 years in Finance related roles. In my off time at night and on the weekends, I pursued my passion of working in real estate. In 2012, I left to pursue my passion of a full-time career in real estate. In the beginning of my career, I spent 5 years learning to sell and being mentored by an agent that had listings across all 6 major counties in Chicago (Cook, Dupage, Kane, Kendall, Will, Lake) in price points from entry level condos to large luxury estates and everything in between. My responsibilities involved:
Running comps to determine pricing.
Developing and managing the marketing strategy.
Coordinating showings and open houses.
Helping ensure the contract to close process went smoothly.
While thankful for the chance to work and learn, there came a time to pursue different challenges and opportunties as my skill set grew and as the market changed. That's why I'm now affiliated with @properties. As the real estate market evolves, it's essential for my clients to have access to innovative resources that lead to success. @properties shares my commitment to delivering the best experience when it comes to your real estate needs.
