Preperation Pays
I've been preparing to meet with you for many years. My knowledge of my market and my experience through hundreds of transactions enables me to assess both your circumstances and your property expediently and efficiently. As a fourth generation Oak Park/River Forest resident raising my family here, I know and love my community and enjoy helping others make it their community too!
Before our first meeting I will prepare a preliminary market analysis. That analysis is fine tuned after I view your home and talk with you. Thereafter, it is my responsibility to prepare you and your home for the marketplace. I will advise you how to present your property to maximize its selling price. Some improvements are worth it, and some are not! These efforts will have your home up for a shorter period of time on the market and more after sale dollars to you.
An Educated Seller is My Best Client My goal is to provide you with all the information you need to make informed decisions at each step of the selling process. In addition to review of all documents, we are always available for questions. Each seller receives a detailed marketing and pricing plan.
Continuous Communication My staff is always here for you...from initial planning for the sale of your home...through marketing , sale and settlement... and there after whenever you need me for advice or counsel. After each showing of your property I will contact the showing agent for feedback that is then shared with you by phone, e-mail and bi-weekly reports. Marketing reports and progress reports are part of my bi-weekly communication as well.
Maximum Market Exposure when you list with Steve
I understand the importance of a marketing strategy and develop a custom plan for each listing. My first, and most valuable “target” market are the agents who work with me. Your home information and photos are entered into the our Intranet immediately and in less than 24 hours into the regional Multi List System. As the property description is entered into my advertising program, the complete property information and photos are being uploaded onto about 20 other websites.
Expert Negotiation Skills Each year I help hundreds of family members make happy, stress-free moves around town and around the world. My level of success is a testament to my negotiating skills. Just as importantly, my clients appreciate the better bottom line that I help them to achieve! “MY LISTINGS DON’T LAST”

Self Employed >Moving And Taxes
Even with the changes in tax laws over recent years, you may be able to deduct some of the expenses of a move that is the result of a change in your job.
You will probably be able to deduct the costs of your move if your new work location means more than an additional 50-mile commute, if you move within a year of taking the job at the new location, and if you work full-time for at least 39 weeks (the total is 78 weeks if you are self-employed). You should keep meticulous records of all of your expenses and consult a tax expert to make sure that you take all the lawful tax deductions allowed by the IRS criteria for expenses related to selling your old home or buying your new one. The IRS publication No. 521 entitled "Tax Information on Moving Expenses" makes good reading before you make a move.

My clients choose me because I am committed to serving their needs. My actions are timely. My advice is objective. My assistance is un-intimidating. My service is complete. My drive is your success.
It is a well-known fact that I utilize more technology-based marketing tools than any other area agent or firm! Digital photography, website advertising, and 24-hour availability are key elements to getting a home sold in today’s market. When you begin your search to buy a home or prepare to list a home, it makes sense to have somebody help you that knows homes. My wife Julie and I have fully restored two homes. Our first was a Chicago Bungalow on the North Side; in 2000 we complete and sold our English Cottage on the 900 block of Marion in Oak Park. These homes were not quick rehabs to make money. They were our homes filled with hard work (more than 50% of the labor was our own), fun memories, and quality finishing. We have recently embarked on a restoration that will (hopefully) be our last. We purchased a Victorian at 320 N. Euclid and estimate a restoration process of more than seven years. Taking care of my customers’ needs is job #1 and leads to long workweeks. This is all I do, everyday, seven days a week. Let me help you learn what to do and what NOT to do in order to get your home sold. If you are buying a home, your job is just as rigorous. I can help you with everything from home inspectors to mortgage brokers. Selling or buying… I help you with every detail to get you to that closing date.
