I am blessed to be living the American Dream. I was just ten years old when my family fled Cuba and the Castro regime with the hope of living in freedom. The Dutch Christian Reformed Church played a key role, helping us settle first in Miami and then in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Living in the Midwest could not have been more different than Cuba, and yet, it quickly became home.

For more than two decades, I have been working with Chicagoland families to buy their homes, businesses and investment properties. It is an honor to pay forward the many opportunities that I received, and help others build wealth and economic stability through the ownership of real estate assets. I have worked in the city and many suburban communities -- essentially wherever my clients want to buy or sell. My priority is serving as their trusted representative, ensuring they are well informed and make smart, long term decisions.

I am proud to be an Engel & Völkers Chicago and Shoreline advisor. Through Engel & Völkers I am able to support clients in both Chicago and Michigan as their trusted real estate advisor. Since joining Engel & Völkers Chicago I have taken my business to a new level and have formed relationships with advisors in shops all over the world, especially in countries where my clients are still connected. With the Engel & Völkers network I had the pleasure of spending time in our shop in Madrid and Malaga Spain, networking and learning about the European residential market. As an Engel & Völkers advisor, I provide my clients with higher quality targeted marketing, global web exposure and access to a powerful network of seasoned, full-time advisors.
