From Chicago's Western Suburbs to Florida's Sunshine State!

People often ask me why I maintain my business across two separate brokerages: Baird & Warner in Chicago and John R. Wood Christie’s International Real Estate in Naples.

The answer is simple: My clients deserve the absolute best in both places.

Chicago and Southwest Florida share an incredible bond—so many of my clients are either splitting their time, planning a future move down south, or looking for a warm getaway.

Instead of passing you off to a random agent in a city you don't know, I get to serve as your dedicated real estate partner in both markets. And by choosing Baird & Warner (Chicagoland’s premier family-owned brokerage) and John R. Wood ( #1 in SWFL luxury real estate), I’m backed by top-notch, independent local market leaders every step of the way.

Thinking about your next chapter in Chicago or Florida? Send me a DM—I’d love to help you navigate both!

🏡 Florida's Proposed Property Tax Amendment — What You Need to Know

Here's the quick version:
✅ It's NOT law yet — voters decide Nov 3, 2026
✅ It would raise the Homestead Exemption for non-school taxes to $250,000
✅ It could eventually phase out non-school property taxes altogether
✅ Establishing FL residency by Dec 31, 2026 matters if it passes
