About Lana

Learning the business of buildings.

Real estate sits at the intersection of a person’s next chapter and a city’s long-term shape. That is the part of the work that keeps me curious.

Where I am now

A client-first practice, informed by the classroom.

I’m a licensed real estate agent with Keller Williams Ann Arbor, helping buyers and sellers make clear decisions in a process that can otherwise feel full of fine print. My role is to explain what the numbers mean, surface the questions early, and keep the plan moving.

At the University of Michigan, I study Urban Technology with a minor in Real Estate Development. I’m interested in how data, infrastructure, policy, and capital come together to shape the buildings and neighborhoods people depend on every day.

I’m working toward commercial real estate development over time, while staying close to the human scale of a home purchase today. I’m especially interested in mentoring and networking with people building thoughtful careers in commercial real estate.

Learning in public

The best real-estate conversations make room for questions. I keep building my knowledge so I can bring useful context to yours — from Michigan tax mechanics to the bigger development picture.

Building the network

I care about making the industry more generous and more connected. If you are exploring commercial real estate, development, or urban technology, I’m always open to a thoughtful introduction.
