About Steve
About Kimberly
I'm Steve, a passionate realtor and life insurance producer with a flair for entrepreneurship. My career is crafted around the joy of flexibility and the freedom to chart my own course, all while having the privilege of helping others fulfill their dreams.
Whether I'm strategizing in the world of real estate, sharing the peace of mind that comes with life insurance, or sailing towards owning a yacht in the Caribbean, my goal is to inspire the same sense of adventure in others. From belting out 90's alternative rock anthems to trading stocks and tackling a new recipe in the kitchen, my life is a diverse tapestry woven with the threads of inspiration from icons like Tim Ferriss and Warren Buffet.
Join me as I navigate the thrill of the deal, the roar of a motorcycle, and the pursuit of that ever-elusive 4-hour workweek.
Greetings, I'm Kimberly, a beacon of joy, love, and fulfillment, sculpting my life's canvas with a passion for creating abundance and enriching the lives of those around me.
My journey is one defined by flexibility and the freedom to pursue my passions. As a seasoned traveler, I've explored the far corners of the globe, finding inspiration in diverse cultures and landscapes. Whether it's skiing the slopes of Park City or cleansing my body and soul in India, each adventure fuels my spirit and broadens my horizons. Yet, my greatest fulfillment comes from contributing to the well-being of others. Just as Werner Erhard emphasized the power of transformational change, I seek to uplift and inspire those around me.
Together, let's unlock the boundless potential that lies within us and create a world filled with abundance, adventure, and purpose.

Real Estate Market Stats
"Buying real estate is not only the best way, the quickest way, the safest way, but the only way to become wealthy." - Marshall Field
Chicago Area Real Estate Market Statistics
Real estate is the foundation of wealth building. Owning real estate provides a host of benefits including:
Equity - Renting is often compared to paying 100% interest. However, when you own a home a portion of your payment goes toward principal and reduces the amount owed with every payment. Over time this builds equity and acts as a form of savings.
Appreciation - Despite short term fluctuations, home values tend to go up over longer periods of time. The increase in value becomes equity that you can benefit from when you sell or refinance.
Education - Research shows that children of homeowners do better in school and graduate at a higher rate than renters.
Roots - People who own stay in homes 4x longer. This helps foster a sense of community and connection with neighbors.
Happiness - Pride of homeownership promotes feelings of well-being. When you own a home, you can make any improvements or changes you want to, get pets or plant trees. Homeownership provides freedom!
Tax Savings - Homeowners get additional tax deductions. Interest on your mortgage and other home related expenses can be tax deductible. Consult your tax professional to learn more.
