Background

About Michael Gust

With a long and successful background in corporate sales, I bring a results-driven approach to the residential real estate market. Whether you're buying, selling, or investing, my mission is to make the experience fast, efficient, low-stress—and yes, even enjoyable. From our first conversation to the closing table, I provide high-value information, connect you with trusted professionals—including attorneys, lenders, title companies, inspectors, and contractors—and ensure you're informed at every transaction step through clear and consistent communication. I am a strategic negotiator focused on securing top dollar and a quick sale for sellers. For buyers, I work closely to help you find your ideal home at the right price in the right location. I've also developed several winning strategies for success in competitive, multiple-offer situations. As a real estate investor, I understand the business inside and out—from buy-and-hold to rehabs to private lending. I leverage my background in sales, technology, and software, along with the powerful resources of eXp Realty, to help maximize your returns in both time and money. Originally from the western suburbs of Chicago, I now call Northwest Indiana home, where I live with my wonderful wife and two boys. Known among family and friends as the "Gadget Guy," I enjoy all things DIY and bring that same hands-on, detail-oriented mindset to my work. I'm a proud graduate of the University of Illinois with a degree in engineering, licensed in Illinois and Indiana, and ready to earn your trust as your go-to real estate professional.
