The only agent who’s also your inspector and a former appraiser.

Understanding the entire home — not just the transaction.

I’m a licensed REALTOR® and licensed home inspector with a professional background in residential real estate appraisal. This combination of experience sets me apart from more than 50,000 real estate sales professionals throughout Illinois and allows me to provide a deeper level of knowledge, guidance, and expertise throughout the buying or selling process.

For sellers

My sellers benefit from working with a REALTOR® who understands building construction, property condition, and real estate valuation. I help identify potential concerns before the home goes on the market, prepare sellers for the inspection process, and provide knowledgeable guidance during negotiations. Every buyer will have a home inspector in their corner — now you can have one in yours, too.

For buyers

My buyers receive valuable information about a home’s condition and potential major concerns before submitting an offer. Understanding these issues early allows buyers to make more informed decisions, plan for future repairs, establish a realistic budget, and better understand the true affordability of a property.

Where I work

I serve Mount Prospect, Arlington Heights, Des Plaines and the surrounding Northwest suburbs — including Palatine, Park Ridge, Schaumburg, Wheeling, Elk Grove Village and Prospect Heights — with Real 1 Realty.

Estate sales get their own local page: if you are settling a parent’s home in Arlington Heights, start with how I handle probate home sales in Arlington Heights.

If the home is in Mount Prospect, the Mount Prospect probate page covers that town.

If you are still working out which of those towns is yours, I wrote my honest take on it: how the northwest corridors compare on commute, schools and taxes, downsides included.
