When I joined @properties in 2013 I had been in the business for 13 years. It had been a good run but I found that I had hit a plateau so my business remained flat year after year. The following year I moved to @Evanston and that is when I met Don. He welcomed me into the community and gave me some great ideas on how to increase my annual sales. We eventually started meeting weekly to have accountability meetings. He kept me on task, kept me focused on reaching for higher goals, he encouraged me to lean into the lead generation systems @properties offers its brokers. Fast forward to 2017 and we added the Road to Rolex to my list of accomplishments! Today I am building a team and am excited as I watch my bussiness grow. When I express gratitude for his support, he always humbly says, "You carried the freight". Don is my coach and he is my friend. I will always be grateful for the time he …

Don has a gift of knowing what you need before you even realize you need it. Don has trailed my career for years while I was at another brokerage. Even though I wasn't on his team, Don was generous with his time, genuine with his interest, and truly celebratory when I hit milestones and victories. His "attagirls" really created a significant impact on me. When I finally decided to make a change, Don had such intimate knowledge of my business and team, he presented me with a plan to really partner with @properties so we could grow our business together. He knew that the systems @properties already had in place was the key to unlocking potential and overcoming logistical issues that held us back. Thank you, Don, for having that vision, even when I didn't see it.
Don has always been available when needed. I've had deals that have needed immediate attention and he has always picked up and given great advice!
We had an exceptional experience with Don and would absolutely recommend him. We were looking to buy a home in Evanston or Wilmette and found Don to be exceedingly knowledgeable about both areas. He listened well, heard what we needed, and was patient as we went through home after home (upwards of 50, actually). He also gave his honest opinion when asked, but was never intrusive in our decision-making. Don recommended an inspector who was absolutely fantastic. Not only was he obviously outstanding at what he does, but he was honest and forthcoming with information. It was a fantastic recommendation. I would recommend Don highly and without hesitation to anyone looking to buy on the North Shore. We had a fantastic experience!
