About
I started in residential real estate—helping first-time buyers navigate one of the most competitive urban markets in the country and assisting sellers in positioning their homes to get top dollar in any condition. Over time, my work expanded into distressed and pre-foreclosure properties, multi-unit investor acquisitions, and commercial real estate—retail storefronts, office spaces, mixed-use buildings, and investment-grade properties across the metro area.

Today, I operate across both worlds. On Zillow and Homes.com, you’ll find my residential track record. On Crexi, you’ll find my commercial listings. The common thread: I bring the same level of preparation and attention to a $200,000 condo as I do to a multi-million dollar commercial acquisition.

I have completed more than $15 million in transactions over an 11-year career within a 10–15 mile radius of downtown Chicago. Every deal in that total represents a real person, a real goal, and a relationship I take seriously long after closing.

I could not have asked for a better realtor. Walter truly knows the art of closing a deal. I don’t know if I would have become a homeowner without him. Walter posed questions to my inspector that a first time buyer would not know to ask, his negotiation skills allowed me to pay several thousands under asking, and he was always available to answer questions (day or night).

Walter is an incredibly informative, helpful, accommodating, and reliable relator! He is friendly as he is patient, and made the whole process less daunting. I highly recommend working with him for those who value transparency, diligence, and expertise.

Walter was an incredible realtor to work with for my first time home buying experience! I was anxious going through the process as a single person trying to do it on my own. But I was able to lean on Walter throughout the process. He really went above and beyond not just in helping me find my place, but giving me ideas and strategies and helping answer my many many questions along the way. He was great about following up with folks to ensure the transaction closed smoothly. And as a result of his help and expertise, I’m living happy ever after in my dream condo by the lake.
