About Me

I'm a real estate agent in Chicago so if you're looking to buy / rent / sell property in the Chicago area (burbs too), let me know - I'd love to help out and need as many referrals as I can get. I'm willing to give up to 5% of my commission to a non-profit of your choice.

Here's My Website where you can search online for Homes, Apartments, etc:
http://www.MikeEverson.com/
I'm a Mac user - One Life - Virus Free!

I'm a huge Chicago nerd (the city not the musical) and if you're not careful, I'll take you on a guided tour of the whole city rattling off interesting facts you'll forget the instant you hear 'em.

I drink a home-made soy cappucino every morning and it's killer. I can quit any time I want. Honest.

I've been listening to The Cars a lot. Like every day a lot... Time to bust out the Black Sabbath before I start getting all new wave.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Interesting people, Vegans & vegetarians, Interesting vegans and vegetarians, Vegans and vegetarians with interests. Old friends, smart people.

My Blog

I need to travel more
