Free Market Evaluation of your Home -- If you're thinking of making a move, the first step is to determine what your property is worth in today's market. Have us prepare a market analysis for you. Please call (708) 383-8700 to schedule an appointment or SIGN IN HERE. Let us know if you prefer to be contacted by a specific agent.

Determining the Right Market Value for Your Home -- We would like to acquaint you with the process we use to determine today's market value for your home.

We begin our evaluation by "getting to know" your home - its location, design and character. Our sales counselor walks carefully through each room, noticing all of the distinctive features that enhance your home. Factual information, such as room and lot sizes, tax bill and utility costs, is also obtained. And, attention is paid to the proximity of schools, shopping and transportation. We ultimately come to understand how your home has worked for you and what has made it special.

After our sales counselor becomes familiar with the characteristics of your home, market data on comparable homes in the area is assembled - homes that are currently on the market, homes that are under contract, and homes that have recently sold. This information is then analyzed relative to your residence.

We may then send a team of our evaluation specialists, if needed, into your home. These specialists are active in the marketplace and particularly knowledgeable about your area. They obtain a "market sense" for your home and express opinion as to its market value without reviewing any actual data.

Finally, we review our findings. Discrepancies, if any, are examined and reconciled.

Determining the right market value for a home is not a precise science, where price is simply a product of square footage, number of rooms or the price of a house just sold down the street. It is a skill where experience and judgment are of fundamental importance - one we have developed over many years serving sellers of fine homes in a wide variety of price ranges.

Please contact us if you are interested in a complimentary market evaluation of your property.

Career Opportunities

Besides food and water, shelter is the most basic necessity in our lives. Long ago, finding that shelter was a simple process. Today's real estate transactions are much more complicated and require the assistance of skilled real estate professionals.

If you're interested in a prestigious, lucrative career in which you can be your own boss, real estate is a good choice. As a Realtor, your product is service and your income will be determined only by the amount of effort you put into helping others buy or sell a home. Real Estate offers the chance to start your own business with the benefits of flexible hours and an office that's close to home.

To assist others in the sale or purchase of a home is an emotionally and financially rewarding experience. And no matter what your job may be right now, chances are you already possess the necessary skills for a successful real estate career. There's no better time to start than right now.

THE NEXT MOVE IS UP TO YOU!
