Having worked in banking and property management for over a decade, I bring to each real estate relationship a background of financing knowledge, building long-term relationships, top-notch customer service and property maintenance needs. In addition, I bring to my clients a commitment to continuous learning about the real estate industry and the marketing and financial tools that will assist them in making a smooth and well-informed real estate transaction.
As a native of Chicago and a product of University of Illinois, Chicago earned a BA in Communications. Before that, I served four years in the United States Marine Corps and served in Desert Storm, Desert Shield and Somalia, earning a commendation from the Saudi government.
I have lived and worked in the Bronzeville, Uptown and Roger’s Park communities. Currently, I am a resident of Bronzeville, where I restored a 125 year old greystone mansion with a business partner. Also, I am a co-owner in a property management company that deals with purchasing and rehabbing buildings since 1998.
