Hi, I’m Mark—and yes, I genuinely love visiting people’s homes.

Great real estate service takes more than unlocking doors. It takes sharp listening, deep neighborhood knowledge, smart negotiation, creative problem-solving, and just enough therapy skills to keep everyone calm. At The ZIP Group, we deliver all of that. Our motto says it best: Service and Solutions.

Now Based in Gold Coast
I’m proud to now be operating out of the RE/MAX Premier Gold Coast office. This move gives our clients greater exposure, stronger marketing reach, and the backing of a globally recognized brand—while maintaining the hands-on, boutique experience we’re known for.

Investment & Multi-Unit Expertise
Beyond traditional buying and selling, The ZIP Group works with clients interested in investment properties and multi-unit buildings. From two-flats to larger income properties, we help evaluate value, cash flow, building condition, and long-term upside—so every purchase aligns with your financial goals.

Chicago remains one of the most undervalued major cities in the country. With most homeowners locked into sub-5% interest rates, inventory is tight—creating opportunity for sellers and smart buyers who know how to move strategically.

Buying? Ask me:
Which buildings have strong associations
Which are truly pet-friendly
Where you’ll get the best light, parking, and layout
Which properties to avoid due to noise or long-term issues
Ask me. I know.

The ZIP Group has sold 300+ homes and over $150M in real estate. You’ll get personal, attentive service—backed by a professional team and proven systems that deliver results.

I know this city. I love this city.
