Paul is a licensed Business & Commercial Real Estate advisor with a focus on facilitating all facets of commercial brokerage. Holding licenses in three states—Wisconsin, Illinois, & Indiana—his expertise spans a wide geographical area. Following a successful tenure at Marcus & Millichap Investment Sales from 2019-2021, Paul assumed the role of Regional Commercial Sales Director for Coldwell Banker Realty across Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana, and Michigan. This transition broadened his access to a diverse portfolio of properties and an extensive professional network.

​

Paul's approach is characterized by a fervent dedication to serving his clients' best interests. He prides himself on being dedicated, knowledgeable, and committed to delivering high-quality professional services. Whether it's Multifamily, Retail, Industrial, or Business Sales, Paul's passion, outgoing demeanor, and exceptional customer service have cultivated an expanding network of clients and referrals. He remains proactive in staying abreast of market education and trends to ensure he offers top-notch guidance throughout every transaction.

​

With a keen awareness of the latest trends and movements in the Illinois, Wisconsin, and Indiana real estate markets, Paul provides comprehensive support from inception to completion, ensuring a seamless, efficient, and rewarding experience for his clients.

​

Before venturing into Commercial Real Estate, Paul enjoyed success as an entrepreneur, owning and operating small business franchises across the Chicagoland area. He also served as the president of the Chicagoland advertising association for an international franchise. Leveraging his entrepreneurial background, Paul adeptly understands client needs and excels in devising innovative solutions to meet them. In 2013, he successfully sold/brokered his businesses before joining Marcus and Millichap, where he honed his skills in commercial investment sales.

​

Beyond his professional endeavors, Paul finds fulfillment in nurturing relationships with fellow entrepreneurs. Through these connections, he has become adept at discerning and fulfilling client needs, applying a creative approach to every interaction.

​

In the words of Jim Rohn, "Success is nothing more than a few simple disciplines, practiced every day." This philosophy underpins Paul's approach to both his personal and professional life.
