Michael Hammer

Michael Hammer’s connection to land began early and has only grown stronger with time. Born in Winfield, Illinois, and now living in Sugar Grove with his better half, Rose Marie, who shares 6 children and 5 grandchildren. Michael has spent a lifetime immersed in the outdoors, from hunting deer and pheasants with his father to summers fishing at a Wisconsin lake house, land has always been more than an investment—it’s been a passion and a way of life.

Michael holds both a Bachelor’s degree in Economics and an MBA from Northern Illinois University, and he brings more than 30 years of professional sales, management, and negotiation experience to every transaction. For over two decades, he has personally bought, renovated, and invested in real estate, developing a sharp understanding of value, market dynamics, and the importance of getting the details right. That foundation, paired with a blue-collar work ethic and a commitment to win-win outcomes, allows him to serve clients with confidence and clarity.

An avid deer and turkey hunter, fisherman, golfer, and dedicated wildlife land manager, Michael has scouted tens of thousands of acres and continually studies how to develop properties that grow and hold mature wildlife. He is known for listening closely, communicating clearly, and never quitting on his clients. When you’re ready to buy or sell land in Illinois, Michael Hammer is the kind of trusted partner who will work tirelessly to help you achieve the outcome you want.
