My Guarantee of
Action
For Sellers
Sellers #1 complaint
about agents is irregular contact. When I list your home, I make a commitment
to you to get the job done. You tell me how regularly you want me to contact
you. And I will.
For Buyer Clients
If I sell you a
home that you decide within 12 months does not meet your needs: I will sell you
a new home listed in the Chicagoland suburbs and list your "wrong" home with no
commission payable to myself, just to the other agent. If I can sell the home
myself, without another agent, I will charge you no commission at all on the
sale. That's how seriously I take the quest for finding the right home first
time around.

For Sale By Owner >Not the Best Investment Some homeowners try to sell their own home, believing that they are as capable as a real estate agent of handling a property transaction. But according to statistics, only 8 to 10 percent of "FSBO" transactions actually close, and many end up in litigation.
If you choose to buy a home with a realtor's help, you substantially reduce your risk. Buying real estate involves more legal and financial repercussions than most people realize. Realtors are licensed and highly regulated professionals who are equipped to deal with the complex issues that arise. For example, if the FSBO seller holds your earnest money deposit, how will you as the buyer go about getting it back if the deal does not close? What will you do if the seller refuses to correct defects in the home or treat a termite infestation? Who pays for re-wiring the house if the electrical system does not meet current codes? What if there are liens against the property?
As a buyer, you have rights written into the sales contract. An experienced agent knows how to protect those rights while negotiating the best price and terms on your behalf.
