The Only Appraiser-Turned-Realtor in the Western Suburbs

Whether you're selling in Hinsdale, buying in Naperville, or exploring your options anywhere across DuPage County, you'll work directly with Mike — not a team of assistants — from first conversation to closing day.

What Sets Mike Apart

Appraiser-level pricing. Mike's 14-year appraisal career means he reads comparable sales the way a bank appraiser does — not the way a commission-motivated agent does. Your list price is defensible from day one.

Hyperlocal depth. Mike has closed transactions in 20+ western suburb communities. He knows which streets command premiums, which school boundaries shift values, and which improvements actually move the needle.

Top 1% producer. With $850M+ in career sales and 2,500+ closed deals, Mike ranks in the top 1% of all agents in the Chicago western suburbs by total transaction volume.
