Most recently, Naso served as the Designated Managing Broker of Keller Williams Chicago – Lincoln Park and as Treasurer Elect of the Chicago Association of REALTORS®. As he transitioned from member to staff, he stepped down from his role as the association’s Treasurer-Elect and his other committee assignments, and a special election was held to fill the role.
