About Riz
2009–2022 Top Producer, Awarded by the Chicago Association of Realtors
As founder of the RG Group at Dream Town Realty, Riz brings to the table a wealth of real estate experience coupled with a great knowledge of Chicago’s various neighborhoods. Shortly after graduating college in Texas, Riz agreed to move to Chicago on a friend's suggestion, even though he had never been to the city previously. Things couldn't have worked out more perfectly and Riz has now called Chicago home for nearly thirty years.
After working in and around the Chicago real estate industry for many years, transitioning to a career in residential sales in late 2005 was not only a natural progression for Riz, but also a great fit. In 2006, his first full year in the business, Riz was recognized for his sales volume by his prior brokerage. In 2009, he was designated as a "Top Producer" by the Chicago Association of Realtors, and has been in the top 10% of Chicagoland Realtors ever since, earning a top 1% designation from 2020 to 2022.
Riz has lived in several different areas in Chicago and has a first-hand knowledge of the uniqueness and diversity of the city’s many great neighborhoods. Riz combines his expertise of the city and his sales success with a keen ability to relate to his clients. It's this combination that allows Riz to be a truly great Realtor. Riz is extremely focused on providing unrivaled customer service to his clients. Day or night, he is truly available to his clients, not just during a transaction, but long after.
Riz’s business runs the gamut from single-unit investors to high-end luxury buyers and sellers. Still, he holds a special affinity for first-time buyers. Riz loves walking a first-time buyer through every step of the often-complex process of becoming a home owner. Seeing the smile on a new home owner's face after closing is truly a rewarding end to a long journey. Riz maintains a very loyal client base and over the last several years, over 95% of his business has come from prior clients and their referrals. He truly appreciates the faith his clients put in him and treats all referrals with the utmost level of service.
Riz resides in the vibrant neighborhood of Andersonville. In his free time, he loves to cook and also enjoys dining out at Chicago's many amazing restaurants. Chicago is a first-class food city and Riz likes to take full advantage of it!
Riz is fantastic! He helped me feel supported through the entire process of purchasing my first home. Riz is honest, super knowledgeable, extremely responsive, plus so kind, caring, and passionate about what he does. He took such good care of me and I know he will do the same for you- which is the reason I’ve been referring any of my friends or family who are buying or selling straight to Riz!

Christine Gulino We couldn’t be more pleased with our experience of selling our home and purchasing the house of our dreams as Riz made the whole process as seamless as possible! Riz was confident our home would sell in less than ten days and he had us under contract in half of that time, which was absolutely unbelievable! Riz went above and beyond and was a creative problem solver in order to ensure deadlines were met and the appropriate items were taken care of for our buyer. At the same time, Riz was incredibly responsive while we looked for houses and he cared enough to make sure we were always comfortable with the price ranges of the homes we looked at. Additionally, Riz’s warm personality put us at ease during the nerve-wracking period of figuring out which house to call our home. I highly recommend working with Riz!

Carly Berry Riz is just the best of the best. He has now helped me with both a purchase and a sale, and both went better than I could have imagined. He is communicative, kind, and gets the job done incredibly well. We had some complications in our selling process (that had nothing to do with Riz), and Riz stepped up to the challenge and helped us get to an excellent result. I could not recommend Riz more!
