Meet Michael
I'm Michael Beaver (he/him), a licensed Illinois real estate broker with Baird & Warner in Evanston. I've lived in Chicagoland for more than 15 years, and I work with buyers and sellers from Andersonville and Edgewater up through Evanston, Wilmette, and Winnetka.
Before real estate, I spent 15 years in higher education administration, including advancement and alumni engagement work. That job taught me to keep a lot of people moving in the same direction. Today I do the same thing for your move. I coordinate the lender, attorney, inspector, and contractors so you know what happens next and why.
I'll tell you what I see, whether it's what you want to hear or not. For condo buyers, that means reading the HOA reserves and special assessment history before you fall for the view. For North Shore movers, it means comparing real commutes, taxes, and housing stock, not just the brochure version of a town.
I'm a REALTOR® and a member of the LGBTQ+ community. Every client gets the same direct, practical guidance.
