Personal
I'm a South-Side native having been born and raised in Chicago. I moved to Oak Lawn in 1990. I graduated from St. Laurence High School. I am married 27 years to my High School Sweetheart, Jackie, and we have two sons (Blaise, 26, Graduate UIC, BSIE; Anton 22, Senior UIC). After 25 years in the transportation industry as management, I decided to do what I always wanted to do and that is help families fulfill their dreams of home ownership. Current hobbies of mine include spending time with the family, reading, walking and gardening.
SELLERS!
If you're planning to sell your home in the next few months, I will use comparable sold listings to help you calculate your home's current market value.
BUYERS!
Automatically receive personalized MLS listings by e-mail. Early each morning I will search the local MLS and find the homes that match your criteria and notify you immediately with the latest listing information. Contact me on how to get started!
