NEWS: Understand how recent changes to commissions and showings affect buying or selling a home in Chicagoland:
The National Association of Realtors® (NAR) announced nationwide practice changes implemented on August 17, 2024, as part of a settlement regarding broker commissions. More information is available in NAR’s guides and FAQs. Key changes include:
- Prohibition of Compensation Offers on MLSs: Offers of compensation will no longer be made on MLSs but can be negotiated off-MLS.

Committed to Excellence: Going Beyond Expectations in Every Transaction
Growing up as the child of first-generation immigrant parents in Chicago, I learned the value of hard work early on. My father’s principle, “Never say something is not your job,” shaped my strong work ethic and dedication as a real estate professional.
My goal is to make buying or selling a home a smooth, stress-free experience through expert support and clear communication. I pride myself on maintaining high ethical standards and professionalism, focusing on your satisfaction. My business thrives on referrals and repeat clients, and I am committed to earning your trust and ensuring your success.
