For AJ, real estate isn’t just a career—it’s a family legacy. As the son of a broker who
began in the industry in 1969, AJ grew up seeing firsthand how homeownership
changes lives. He officially joined the family business in the early 2000s, working
alongside his father at REMAX Properties Northwest, and has been building on that
foundation of excellence ever since.
AJ brings a sophisticated edge to every transaction, leveraging an extensive
background in management, sales, and law. This unique expertise allows him to hone
his negotiation and communication skills to a fine point, ensuring his clients receive top-
tier advocacy. Whether navigating complex legal details or managing high-stakes sales,
AJ’s goal is always the same: providing a seamless, stress-free experience for those he
serves.
Guided by a relentless desire to help others and an unwavering commitment to the
Golden Rule, AJ treats every client’s milestone as his own. He understands that buying,
selling, or investing is an emotional journey, and he works tirelessly to ensure that every
step—from the initial consultation to the final signature—is a positive one.
When he isn’t advocating for his clients, AJ is likely advocating for his community. A
dedicated resident of Des Plaines, he serves on the city’s Planning and Zoning Board
and is an active member of both the Kiwanis-Des Plaines and the Des Plaines Chamber
of Commerce. AJ is also the founder of the non-profit Little Explorers of The Plaines,
which brings the Dolly Parton Imagination Library to children in Des Plaines and Park
Ridge.
AJ’s "relentless" spirit extends to his personal life, too. He loves staying active with his
wife, Danielle—whether they are biking, swimming, skiing, or golfing. He is also a proud
step-father to Giavanna, who currently serves in the U.S. Air Force. For AJ, life is about
service, family, and exploring the great outdoors at every opportunity
