Frank Constant (COO) 

Frank H. Constant, Founding Partner of Michael Franks LLC began his career in management and sales in the mid 70s with a major corporation in the Chicago land area. He quickly moved through the ranks to hold key leadership positions and was eventually recruited by a multi-billion dollar corporation to launch a new division of consulting services focused on business turn-arounds. Frank's people skills and his ability to get measurable results afforded him a long career in Sales and Operations consulting to multiple Fortune 500 companies. Growing weary of the corporate environment and seeking new challenges, Frank chose real estate as his path to wealth and financial freedom.

Using sales and operational skills acquired in his past, Frank quickly became successful helping people to purchase, sell, and invest in residential real estate. Frank currently works with a number of clients helping them locate and purchase undervalued residential investment properties. An investor himself, Frank has amassed a large portfolio of properties with his partner Mike Morawski. Frank takes a conservative approach to investing using slower methodical steps which minimize the margin for error. Frank teaches his clients using skills gained from experience and years of following other successful investors.

Frank’s vision for Michael Franks LLC is to provide his operational experience to manage and control the firm’s real estate maximizing the profits while controlling the costs. Maintaining properties, managing tenants, and/or outsourcing those responsibilities, are all key skills that must be applied in any Landlord/Tenant environment. Realizing that not all investors have this type of background, Frank can offer his knowledge, experience, and success to others giving them the opportunity to share in a larger project without the responsibility of its day to day operation. His mission is to have complete control over the property and the funds necessary to maintain it.

Frank is a member of The Agent Leadership Council for Keller Williams Realty. He teaches sound real estate investing workshops, and mentors a number of part time investors. Frank has served in numerous leadership positions, including Moderator and Church Councilman, at his church in West Dundee, Illinois where he and his family have lived for 16 years.
