Mac A Makowski
Real Estate Agent (Salesperson)
San Diego - CA

Born in Poland, this real estate professional relocated to Chicago in 1994 at the age of nine. Navigating the challenges of a new language, he immersed himself in the Chicago public school system, diligently working to master English while retaining his Polish roots. Over time, he developed a distinct Chicago accent, a testament to his dedication and adaptability.

From a young age, he aspired to become a police officer, a goal he achieved in 2007. He dedicated nearly a decade to law enforcement, a career he cherished. However, upon starting a family in 2013, his priorities shifted. The demands of police work made it difficult to be the hands-on father he desired to be.

In 2007, he met his wife, and together they envisioned a future in a warmer climate. Their dreams of relocating remained a distant aspiration until 2013, when the birth of their daughter prompted his wife, a detective, to reconsider her career. After a decade in law enforcement, she made the significant decision to step back and focus on family, igniting a conversation about pursuing their shared dream.

As they explored new career paths, real estate emerged as a compelling option. Having rented and owned two homes, they developed a passion for the industry. His wife’s appreciation for historic architecture complemented his preference for modern design, leading to a unique blend of styles in their homes.

Recognizing the challenges of starting anew in real estate, they reflected on the parallels between their previous careers and their new venture. Both realtors and police officers engage with diverse individuals and are committed to achieving results, whether that involves facilitating a home sale or resolving a crisis. Additionally, both professions require meticulous attention to legal documentation, a skill honed through years of police work.

Integrity, honesty, and a genuine commitment to clients’ best interests are paramount in his approach to real estate. He believes that while many can sell a house, it takes a dedicated professional to ensure clients find the right investment and home that truly meets their needs.

With a focus on positive experiences and a commitment to excellence, he is ready to guide clients through their real estate journey.
