Your Trusted Guide in Chicago Real Estate

As a top-producing broker in Chicago, I specialize in River North luxury real estate. With over a decade of experience in buying, selling, investing, and leasing, my journey into real estate was unexpected. It began with a dream (literally) and a call. That vision, paired with a nudge from a consulting colleague, led me to Vik, our company’s founder. Pivoting to real estate was the best decision I ever made after eight years in IT consulting with firms like Accenture, PepsiCo, Christie’s, Grant Thornton, and Johnson & Johnson.

  • Proven Expertise & Neighborhood Insight: As a property owner in both Gold Coast and River North and a longtime Chicago resident, I offer deep local knowledge. My team consistently closes $50-$60M+ in transactions annually.
  • Tailored Approach: With a background in IT consulting, I combine creativity and analytics to deliver a personalized buying and selling experience.
  • Relationship-Driven Success: I prioritize long-term relationships, understanding each client’s unique needs to provide solutions that go beyond the transaction.

Beyond Real Estate

When I’m not helping clients, you’ll find me exploring Chicago’s culinary scene, staying active with yoga, boxing, or running, and planning adventures abroad. One day, I hope to welcome a fluffy Samoyed into my life—a dream I’m determined to make a reality.

Behind the Scenes, Driving Results

As both a broker and team operations manager, I ensure every transaction is seamless, whether you’re buying, selling, or investing. My role is to handle the details so you can focus on the excitement of your next move.

My Journey

Originally from outside Philadelphia, I earned my degree in Finance & Marketing Analytics from Northeastern University. After stints in various cities, I fell in love with Chicago. My background in tech consulting with companies like IBM taught me the importance of strong client relationships and precision in execution.

Growing up with a realtor mom, it was always joked that I'd end up in real estate—and here I am! My journey took a turn when I became An-An’s youngest buyer at the age of 21. She guided me through buying my first home, and her expertise left a lasting impression. From that moment, I knew I wanted to work with her both personally and professionally.

Why Work With Me?

  • Client-Focused: I won’t rest until you find your perfect home or investment.
  • Engaged and Attentive: Ready to help with any questions.
  • Honest and Relatable: As a recent homebuyer, I understand what it takes to find the "one".

Off The Clock

When not scanning available units, I enjoy wandering the city, boxing classes, or relaxing on my balcony with a glass of wine. The best part of city life is exploring new places and having a cozy home to return to. Having lived in West Loop and Old Town, I can help you find the right neighborhood.
