What trends are you currently seeing in the real estate market, and how do you anticipate it evolving over the next year? How do you think the local real estate market differs from other regions in the U.S.?
Low inventory and high demand continue to drive competition, especially in the suburban markets of Hinsdale, Clarendon Hills, and Western Springs. Buyers want more space and move-in-ready homes remain highly sought after. Over the next year, I expect a gradual market stabilization as interest rates and inventory shift. Locally, our market stays strong due to steady demand and limited supply, offering more stability compared to regions with sharp price fluctuations.

What would you say is your key to success in this competitive market?
I’ve built deep personal relationships over my 35-year career—connections that simply can’t be replicated through marketing alone. Being actively involved in the local business community and three chambers of commerce allows me to network effectively, stay ahead of market trends, and create opportunities for my clients.

Many top producers also invest in real estate themselves. Do you have any experience with property investment or development? How has that influenced your perspective as a broker?
We own rental properties throughout the suburbs and have also invested in remodel-and-sell projects. This firsthand experience has given me a deep understanding of property valuation, market trends, and the financial considerations that come with investing. Understanding both the buying and selling sides as an investor helps me anticipate challenges, negotiate effectively, and identify properties with true potential.

The luxury market has its own dynamics. How do you tailor your approach when working with high-net-worth individuals or luxury properties?
Luxury real estate is about delivering a seamless, discreet, and highly tailored experience. I take the time to understand my clients’ unique needs—whether it’s privacy, exclusivity, or investment—and provide curated solutions.
