Ashwin Abichandani
Agent, Property Management GM at BCG Real Estate Group, and Co-Host of Veterans in Real Estate & The Chicago Veterans Real Estate Meetup
Hi, I’m Ashwin, a Chicago-based real estate agent with a military background and a mission-driven approach to helping clients buy, sell, and invest in residential property.
I specialize in working with military families, first-time homebuyers, and investors looking to grow their portfolio. In addition to sales, I also offer full-service property management services as General Manager of BCG Real Estate Group, one of Chicago's highest-rated and fastest-growing management companies, giving homeowners peace of mind that their investment is in good hands.
My expertise includes VA loans, investment properties, and guiding first-time buyers through the process with clarity and confidence. I also speak Hindi, which helps me connect with and serve a broader range of clients in our community.
Outside of real estate, I’m a self-proclaimed foodie — you’ll often find me exploring new restaurants around Chicago or cooking something delicious at home.
If you’re looking for a dedicated, down-to-earth professional who truly has your best interests at heart, I’d be honored to help with your next move.
Kyle Dierkens
Agent and Property Management Operations Manager
Hi! I’m Kyle Dierkens, and I am very excited to join the team and start my journey as a broker.
Prior to this, I was a Senior Telemetry Technician for the Western Launch Range on Vandenberg AFB. I spent 6 years there, with a small detour as Mission Ops Specialist for Boeing on the US Missile Defense Program. This came after my 5 years of service in the U.S. Army as a Fire Control Operator for the Patriot Missile System.
Since then, I have been the Operations Manager for BCG Real Estate Group and have learned a lot about the real estate world in a very short amount of time, from property management to sales, and even investing.
I’m an avid video gamer, although I have very little time to enjoy that these days. I have been a skateboarder my whole life, and still enjoy going for a cruise when I can. I also love to play guitar, and explore the city in search of great food, scenery, and people. Very much looking forward to onboarding my first clients and being a great asset to them as well as my team!
Khristina Baresova
Agent
Hi, my name is Khristina and I am glad to be a part of this great team and look forward to prospering as a real estate broker in my hometown. I was raised in the Southwest Suburbs and currently live in Chicago. I have been a Litigation Legal Assistant working in the Loop for over 20 years.
Several years ago, I moved to Florida and upon doing so I decided to become a real estate agent. Even though I only lived in Florida a few years and have a license in this state, this introduction to real estate grew my passion to become a real estate agent in Illinois.
Words cannot express the joy it brings me in helping clients find their dream home and the lasting relationships this business creates with your clients. I look forward to helping you find your dream home too!
Amanda Viola-Spears
Agent
As a West Coast native now living in Beverly, I've found there’s nothing quite like the character and history of the homes throughout Chicago. While the stunning architecture is what first drew me in, it was the energy, culture, and sense of community that made me fall in love with Chicago.
I have a practical mindset but can’t help my obsession with interiors—I love seeing the potential in every space, and I’m excited to help people find a home that feels right for them.
My background in the entertainment industry has given me a unique ability to connect, communicate, and adapt in fast-paced situations, while my strong organizational skills and tenacity ensure that my clients are always well-supported and advocated for.
When I’m not working, you’ll most likely find me at the park with my 2-year-old daughter or watching a great documentary or movie. Every weekend, we make it a point to try new restaurants, always on the hunt for the best food spots in the city.
I’m excited to bring my passion, persistence, and intuitive approach to Dorazio Real Estate, and I look forward to helping you with your real estate journey!

Jeff DeNapoli
Operations - Workflow - Content Creation - Media - IT
Jeff was born and raised in Chicago’s Rogers Park neighborhood and now calls the Southwest suburbs home after years living throughout the city and North Shore. Before joining Dorazio Real Estate, he spent over two decades in the IT industry specializing in Apple-centric support, service, and consulting. In 2023, he made a career pivot, bringing his expertise in systems, service, and creative problem-solving to real estate, where he now plays a key role in Dorazio’s operations, marketing, technology, and client engagement efforts.
Jeff is the engine behind much of the company’s content creation & marketing, social media, technology implementation, and internal workflows — helping fuel the team’s growth while protecting the trusted, relationship-driven reputation Dorazio Real Estate is known for.
Outside of work, Jeff loves spending time with his wife and two daughters, tackling home improvement projects, cooking, traveling, hiking, camping, and even building custom PCs for fun. He’s just as happy watching a Cubs game or an F1 race as he is diving into DIY tutorials on off-grid living, home renovations, or rehabbing 19th century mansions.
Jeff is proud to be part of the Dorazio Real Estate team and looks forward to helping drive the company’s continued growth and success.
