Just Closed in Morgan Park!

In my clients’ words “You helped us find the Unicorn”…and I couldn’t be happier for them.

I found this listing via the private exclusive network (which is only accessible if you were working with a Compass Agent), and we came in with a strong over, asking offer with undeniable terms that led to the sellers canceling any previously approved tours and both open houses.

In this market, it’s imperative that you are working with an agent that will get you to the closing table and provide to you a winning strategy to secure you your dream home/unicorn.

Here when you’re ready.

2026 ✍🏼 🏠

Grateful for the trust that my clients put in me.

As I approach 12 months focused solely on sales, I’m sitting at $12m in closed business.

To be featured in the Chicago Agent Magazine 2026 “Who’s Who” issue makes it even sweeter.

Hidden Costs of Buying a Home in Chicago: Closing Costs, Inspections, and More.

I talk about the unexpected costs that first-time homebuyers face in Chicago, including closing costs (2-5% of purchase price), home inspections ($400-$900), appraisals, title insurance, prepaid taxes, and homeowners insurance.

I also discuss special assessments for condos and how to negotiate closing costs with sellers. The key is to plan smarter and go in informed to avoid surprises and get great deals.

Land closed. 🤝 $2.5M off-market in Roscoe Village.

You see the closing price and a polished graphic, but here’s the cold hard reality:

This deal was resuscitated several times…almost fully died after a requested retrade…had the closing delayed (twice)…probably my most stressful deal to date.

Now back to the social media post:

Represented a private developer client on the acquisition of a 9,200 SF lot, zoned B3-2 — a great site for what comes next in one of the most in-demand pockets on the North Side.

Deals like this move fast and take a broker that has deep relationships, knows the zoning, the neighborhood, and how to get to the closing table. If you’re a developer or investor looking at land in Chicago, let’s talk.

📍 Roscoe Village
💰 $2.5M
