Born and raised in the Lakeview neighborhood, Michael began his real estate career when he returned to Chicago after graduating from college in California. He didn't start out showing property—he started by tearing it down. He was a member of a demolition crew that specialized in gutting commercial spaces for bars and restaurants. He and his brother saved money so they could purchase a neighborhood tavern, which also housed rental apartments on the upstairs floors.
After working closely with many top-notch contractors, they were ready to rely on their own resources to convert the property into residential condo townhouses. For the next six years, Michael and his brother developed real estate in many Chicago neighborhoods, some up-and-coming and some already established. During these years, Michael realized that his greatest satisfaction—and strongest suit—came in dealing with the clients who purchased the units he had developed.
Since joining @properties Christie's International Real Estate, Michael has continued to develop these skills and now focuses on working with buyers, sellers and developers to help them evaluate an ever-changing market place. Whether you're new to the real estate market or a seasoned veteran, you'll benefit from Michael's experience, negotiation skills and knowledge of the city. If you're a buyer, count on Michael to help you find the right home and obtain the best price. If you're a seller, look to Michael to help you secure the best selling price the market will bear.

We recently had the pleasure of working with Mike on the sale of our Chicago property.
