Hobbies
Chicagoland real estate in general interests me. Growing up in the north shore (Wilmette) I am familiar with the suburbs in a native way, and as a City dweller (Roscoe Village) since 1989 I know Chicago's cultural destinations, entertainment spots and school systems (my kid is a CPS student) in a way that a true Chicagoan would........

Buyer reviewEarl was extremely helpful. He took the time to answer all questions and was very patient with taking us to see homes. He also gave me information that helped me make a great choice. Not only did Earl tell me if he liked the property, but he also kept it very real with me about what parts of the home were good and what parts werent. He also helped me with making an offer and kept me updated in real time with the process of closing. He helped set us up with a mortgage broker and lawyer that were also extremely professional. Overall I loved working with Earl, am so grateful to him, and am planning to refer him to all my friends.
