Helping you find the property
of your dreams.

I have always had a passion for real-estate. I do believe I inherited it from my mother. I remember when I was young, going to open houses with her because she loved getting ideas and seeing other peoples visions of what they thought a home should look like. That's what I find so intriguing about the Real-Estate industry. Within a certain degree of the law, people are free to dream, create, and build what they want to call home. And all of these homes need owners.
I have a long history in construction. I helped my parents build their first home at 8 years old, and I helped them build their last home a few years ago. Out of school, I jumped into a career of building. I love to get my hands dirty and put in a good hard days work. I have 16 years of structural construction in my past. Because of this I enjoy working with Investors. If you are looking to make money in real-estate buying rehab/rental property, you want me on your side. When like minded people come together it makes a strong working relationship. I have been heavily involved in "flipping" (as HGTV has made the term so popular) houses for the past 6 years. All of the properties I have chose to invest in have turned a profit. I know what to look for in an investment property.
You need a real estate professional that will listen to you, understands the industry, and is staying ahead of the game. I am constantly thinking of ways to use the latest technology, social media, and tools to ensure my clients are the most informed buyers, and the most well represented sellers in the area.
I pride myself on my negotiating skills. My friends say that I can take a dollar and turn it into a hundred, and they are right. You will get the absolute best price in buying a home, and if selling you will keep as much equity and wealth as possible.
My relationships through residential mortgage lending and loan structuring allow my clients the best options to suit both needs and financial objectives. Mostly I truly enjoy the opportunity to work with great people and help them achieve their dreams!

Being a Full Time Realtor living in Lasalle County I am in tune with the local Real Estate Market. My relationship building skills with my clients is important to me. Because I care for my clients and their interest I find many refer me out to their closest family and friends because they want them to have the same experience that they had from previously working with me on the purchase or sale of their home.
