Luxury Real Estate Broker · Chicago, IL
I bring a personal, elevated approach to real estate across Chicago's most coveted neighborhoods — because finding your home is one of life's most meaningful moments.
Neighborhoods
From greystones in Lincoln Park to riverfront towers downtown, I work across the neighborhoods that make Chicago worth calling home.
About Me
Real estate is my passion, and I believe every client deserves a personal, hands-on approach from beginning to end. Having lived throughout the Chicago suburbs my entire life, I bring firsthand knowledge of the communities, neighborhoods, and market I proudly serve.
My approach is simple: I listen first. Every client has different goals, and I take the time to understand what matters most before creating a strategy tailored specifically to them.
With a background in Business Management & Administration and continued studies toward my Bachelor's degree, I bring a strong work ethic, responsiveness, and commitment to continuous growth. Whether buying or selling, my goal is to provide honest guidance, local expertise, and exceptional service every step of the way.
"Every client deserves the same thing: someone who actually listens, then shows up for them from the first call to closing day."
The Cognac Difference
I don’t do average. Every client gets my full attention, my full effort, and my full commitment — from the first showing to the closing table. That’s not a promise, it’s just how I work.

How I Work
We begin with a real conversation about your vision, lifestyle, timeline, and budget — I want to understand who you are before we talk property.
Leveraging off-market connections and the MLS, I surface properties that match your criteria — often before they reach the public eye.
I negotiate on your behalf with market data, strategic positioning, and a genuine commitment to getting you the best possible outcome.
From inspection to final walkthrough, I coordinate every detail so your closing day is smooth, celebratory, and completely stress-free.
Inquiries
Navigating Chicagoland real estate takes real, on-the-ground expertise. Here's what you need to know before we begin.
Email Your Question HereI cover the entire Chicagoland area — the North Shore, Lake County, McHenry County, Cook County, and the city of Chicago itself, from the Gold Coast to Lincoln Park and beyond. Wherever you're looking, I'd love to work with you directly.
Absolutely. First-time buyers and sellers are some of the clients I enjoy working with most. I'll walk you through every step, explain what to expect, and make sure you never feel like you're guessing.
It depends on your goals as much as the market. I'll walk through your specific situation with you — timing, pricing, and what a sale could realistically look like — so you can make a confident decision, not a rushed one.
I take a personal, listen-first approach — no templates, no scripts. Every strategy is built around your specific goals, and you'll always know exactly where things stand.
Yes — I represent both buyers and sellers throughout Chicagoland, and I tailor my approach depending on which side of the transaction you're on.
