The buying and selling of real estate is a huge decision. It bears with it the inherent risk of a large financial transaction, no one can deny that. I wish to be your advocate and partner in this transaction. It is my hope to take the stress and risk out of equation or at least mitigate it by keeping you informed with the best possible information about the market place. In doing so, this puts you in the best possible position to make a decision for you and your family. My background is in economics. I studied at Tulane University in New Orleans and worked for 30 years at the CME and CBOT in Chicago. I grew up in downstate Illinois in a small town. I learned from my father how important it is to listen to people. It is the key, how else am I going to know what you want. Whether it be buying or selling I understand what makes these markets work, what drives them, neighborhood influences and market forces outside local forces. I believe that my background can be invaluable to you. I would love to partner with you to buy your new home, to sell the home that you have lived in and loved but is not right for you anymore My goal is to get you where you want to be, whatever that looks like. The possibilities are endless and I can help with all of them.
