Harmonizing his extensive business knowledge with his passion for real estate, Randy has once again succeeded in growing a booming business from the ground up. He credits his success to his ability to easily relate with others, combined with his innate adeptness in being able to aptly assess a myriad of situations. His laid back yet professional approach is appealing to both buyers and sellers and the energy and dedication he brings to his clients is unsurpassed. Randy now resides in the Lakeview Neighborhood of Chicago. Outside of real estate, he enjoys live music and traveling. He is also involved with a number of philanthropic organizations.   Keller Williams - R. Scott Michalak Contact: R.

Professional: My experience in the corporate world began over two decades ago in the Restaurant/Hospitality industry. Throughout that time period I held several different management positions from assistant store manager up to and concluding with District Manager of Operations. This journey has taught me how to apply the following skills to attain outstanding results. Visioning a Set a clear course. Paint the big picture.  See the light at the end of the tunnel. Listening & Communications Ask questions! Check for understanding. Ask more questions. Planning & Organizing Establish a plan, set goals, have check points. Put systems in place to ensure attainment of plan. Coaching Educate, support and help when necessary. Problem Solving Identify opportunities, explore options and make necessary changes!Wouldn't you agree that your Realtor should possess these same skills? Personal: I am a divorced Father with four beautiful daughters. My supportive partner, David and I live in Wayne, IL. Over the years I have thoroughly enjoyed renovating several homes. You could say I am passionate, sometimes obsessive, about the design process. When I'm not wearing my tool belt, odds are I'm wearing an apron in the kitchen preparing new recipes and creating decadent desserts. Ina is my Idol!! During down time you could find me in the woodworking shop or tending to my garden. At my side would be my four legged companions Ralph, a chocolate lab, and Sophie, a Shih-Poo.
