Serving Chicago & the Northwest Suburbs

I’m a full-time, highly energetic Real Estate Broker specializing in residential real estate throughout Chicago and the Northwest suburbs. Born and raised in Ukraine, I moved to the United States—the land of endless opportunities—after earning my Master of Science degree in 2002.

Before starting my real estate career, I spent nearly 20 years in the restaurant industry, where I learned the true value of customer service. That experience taught me how essential it is to connect with people from all backgrounds and provide service that leads to real satisfaction. Fluent in English, Ukrainian, and Russian, I bring cultural awareness and clear communication to every client relationship.

Real estate allows me to fulfill my dream of owning a business while pursuing a meaningful, self-rewarding career. I became a licensed Illinois Real Estate Broker and a proud REALTOR® in January 2017—and I’ve loved every minute of it! Helping people buy and sell homes is more than just a job to me—it’s a chance to create positive change in people’s lives.

I understand how important it is to find your dream home or secure the best offer for your property. That’s why I make it my mission to help you achieve those goals. I work with a team of experienced industry professionals who are ready to support you every step of the way.

Nothing makes me happier than seeing the joy that comes with a successful sale or purchase. As a Realtor®, I’m committed to delivering the professional service you deserve—and I’ll always go the extra mile to make your buying or selling journey not just successful, but enjoyable.

Specialties:
• Buyer’s Agent
• Listing Agent
• Fluent in English & Russian
• 9 Years of Experience

Thank you for taking the time to read my story. I look forward to discussing your real estate goals soon!
