Whether working with first-time buyers or luxury home seekers, he brings a strategic, client-focused approach that consistently exceeds expectations. Jeff’s trusted network of industry professionals also gives his clients a competitive edge in navigating Chicago’s fast-moving market.
Based in Chicago, Jeff offers in-depth knowledge of neighborhoods including Wicker Park, Logan Square, Lakeview, Ukrainian Village, West Loop, and South Loop. He is a proud member of CAR, the National Association of Realtors (NAR), and the Asian Real Estate Association of America (AREAA), and holds the Certified Negotiation Expert (CNE) designation.
Outside of real estate, Jeff enjoys photography, pottery, ballroom dancing, snowboarding, and catching a great movie or TV show.
Jeff is the best! Hard-working, thorough, and comprehensive in his approach. Would recommend him to anyone!

Antonina Trush I have only good things to say about Jeff. Our journey was loooong and not every agent would be able to give that much time. Besides all helpful advices we received from him, his patience was very valuable to us. Iâ??ve felt pressured to make a move before, and with purchase like this you need your time. Jeff gave us the time we needed, answered all possible questions, gave lots of suggestions. Thank you, and we definitely be working with you again!

Ryan L. My experience with Jeff was great. Despite being a very brief experience he was always very attentive and helpful in my first real estate purchase.
