I come from a construction background and have been building high-end single family custom homes, additions and remodels for over 30 years around the Chicago and North Shore areas. I’ve also been a licensed Realtor for over 30 years and have provided realty services to my build clients and the general public during that time. Because of my extensive knowledge of construction, I can tell our clients exactly what they’re looking at when touring or selling a property in terms of building systems, components and functionality. I can also explain what’s behind the walls and what to be mindful of with all types of construction from Abe Lincoln’s log cabin right up to present day structures. I can also instantly ballpark for clients what it would cost to add on, renovate or tear down and build a new property.
My family has been involved in development and construction for three generations including mine. When the recession of 2008 hit, I became involved with high-end leasing and condo sales in the downtown Chicago area….. everywhere from Lincoln Park to the South Loop, Streeterville to Wicker Park and all points in between. I became expert at placing clients in the newest downtown luxury buildings offering killer amenities.

Hailing originally from Michigan City, IN, Mitch earned a BS in recording technology from Ball State University, Muncie, IN and a MFA in music composition from DePaul University, Chicago.
Being a musician can be an advantage for a real estate broker. Networking in the people oriented music business naturally merges into networking acumen in real estate. From his knowledge of the city and suburbs and the many people he has met through his work in the music business his real estate career is a natural progression with his knowledge of Chicago’s neighborhoods from the inside out. This special knowledge has served his clients well in numerous leasing and sales deals he has closed. Because above all, it’s the customer service and attention to details that benefits his clients most.
When not Rocking the music scene and closing real estate deals, Mitch enjoys spending time with his musical family. A Father of three girls who are striving young pianists, he and his wife Sara, an accomplished opera singer who runs a teaching business that serves dozens of families in the North Shore, recently welcomed a new daughter into the world named Stevie.

I am a lifelong resident of the city of Chicago and recently retired from the Chicago Fire Department where I spent the last ten years working as a building inspector. My years with the Fire Dept. allowed me to gain an intimate knowledge of the City and the many communities that make it the unique place that it is as well as the nuts and bolts of all building types.
