“He is my forever hero!”
“I was having trouble with an ex husband and a property we owned together in Chicago. It was in an upscale neighborhood and needed to be sold and demolished but the ex was fighting sale for 3 years. Jordan kept the city at bay and substantially contained my exposure to fines. It was during COVID so just getting the ex out was impossible. Jordan worked tirelessly and in the end found a very creative solution that worked and freed me from years of insecurity. I can never say enough about Jordan’s kindness, expertise and city connections. He is my forever hero!”
