He has invaluable market knowledge, pricing expertise, and years of construction, architecture, and design experience. When he’s not working, Jason volunteers for the Big Brothers Big Sisters program, runs, or plays music—he has played in several Chicago bands over the years and makes an annual trip to the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Fest. Ever the strategist, he also enjoys chess. Jason, Kari, and their three-year-old Arthur live in a custom-built home in the beautiful Kenwood neighborhood. Jason has worked in residential real estate for 15 years but over the past 8 years, has worked almost exclusively with builders and developers, representing clients on 250+ single family home development projects on both the new construction and rehab side.
