Jeff began his career in real estate in 2014 after more than a decade as a trader at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. With a strong love for data analysis, which was cultivated during his time in the financial markets, Jeff excels in the area of property valuation. This skill allows for Jeff’s clients to sell their properties at favorable cap rates, purchase properties below market value, and even uncover potential arbitrage opportunities. He specializes in the acquisition and disposition of multi-unit, multifamily, and mixed-use properties, but also enjoys working with buyers and sellers of single-family homes in the North Shore neighborhoods of Chicago.
