When our search began, we knew many of the qualities we were looking for in a community, but because of the vast size of the metro area, and our lack of exposure to many of it, we didn't pick just 1 community. We were looking in northern, northwestern, and western suburbs. In each of these areas I sought out agents who knew their market well and were seasoned in their business. It ended up that the only offer we made was in Oak Park, with you. As I explained in one of our early meetings, our first attempted home purchase didn't go well. I did learn that there's real competition for desirable properties in our price range, and an agent with a keen sense of that market would be integral in the "offer" portion of the deal.
Your advice was most helpful in our offer. Not only did you know how to expedite the offer process, but also you had invaluable info about the nature and costs of the repairs to bring the house to structural and functional shape. I was like most other homebuyers who hadn't rehabbed an old house, so I didn't know what to look for in viewing the homes on the market. Boy, am I learning now!
This brings me to another area where your expertise and commitment to a high level of service really showed. You supplied me with an excellent list of tradesman to bid on the rehab of our recent purchase. Each of them was professional and respectful of preserving the craftsmanship of a hundred year old home. They delivered quality service, in a timely manner. I had heard too many stories of friends' rehabbing woes, from contractors disappearing midway through a job, to neglect and shoddy work. Because of your referrals, my experience was very positive. We had a couple surprise repairs, but all of the affected contractors were able to accommodate the schedule and task changes, still completing the project in a reasonable timeframe.
I had purchased 2 other properties prior to working with you, but they were nowhere near as successful or guided as well as with you. I look forward to referring you to other clients looking in the Oak Park/ River Forest communities.

Selling Your Home >Reviving the Listing
In every town there are homes that sell rather quickly, while others linger on the market. Real estate professionals suggest numerous approaches to maximizing a home's curb appeal -- everything from fresh paint to new landscaping. But if the "For Sale" sign in front of your house has become a neighborhood fixture, it is important to work with your real estate agent to keep your listing fresh.
Whenever your house is shown, the real estate agent will get feedback from the buyers or other agents about what they liked about your house and what did not work for them. Allow your agent to be completely frank with you about any feedback he or she receives. Listen with an open mind and with the understanding that there is nothing personal about these comments. Don't delay in implementing any of the ideas that make sense to you.
Your real estate agent's job is to come up with new ideas for marketing your home in order to get buyers inside. Your job is to ensure that your house looks its best.

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.
