I want to get straight to the heart of the matter. Real estate practices differ significantly across regions, much like any other profession. The expectations for services and knowledge vary widely, influenced by local customs. Here are a couple of stories that highlight these differences:

This year, I helped a couple relocate to the West Coast while selling their home here in Chicago. During the process, it became clear that their experience buying a home in San Francisco was vastly different from their experience with me. They felt much more assured, involved, and informed with my approach compared to the somewhat distant and less communicative process they encountered in California. It’s not that their West Coast realtor was lacking; rather, the pressures and dynamics in different regions vary greatly. In Chicago, our standard involves thorough collaboration, proactive problem-solving, and clear strategic planning.

Another story involves a realtor from rural Ohio who reached out to me for assistance with her client’s investment property in Chicago.

I want to get straight to the heart of the matter. Real estate practices differ significantly across regions, much like any other profession. The expectations for services and knowledge vary widely, influenced by local customs. Here are a couple of stories that highlight these differences:

This year, I helped a couple relocate to the West Coast while selling their home here in Chicago. During the process, it became clear that their experience buying a home in San Francisco was vastly different from their experience with me. They felt much more assured, involved, and informed with my approach compared to the somewhat distant and less communicative process they encountered in California. It’s not that their West Coast realtor was lacking; rather, the pressures and dynamics in different regions vary greatly. In Chicago, our standard involves thorough collaboration, proactive problem-solving, and clear strategic planning.

Another story involves a realtor from rural Ohio who reached out to me for assistance with her client’s investment property in Chicago. We had an insightful conversation comparing our markets. She explained how rural real estate involves unique issues like land rights, well water access, and maintaining private roads. She was familiar with every local nuance, from community relations to potential conflicts. We both realized how specialized our knowledge was to our respective areas, with her saying, “I wouldn’t know where to start in your market,” and me responding, “My skills would be out of place in yours!”

In Chicago’s fast-paced market, characterized by its mix of historic and modern homes, my role involves presenting properties attractively with reliable inspection reports. I am well-versed in the costs, know the right contractors, and understand the best timing for listing. For my buying clients, I identify necessary special inspections, recognize potential issues, and evaluate which properties will retain value. I am also familiar with other top agents, their client strategies, and how to secure winning offers without overbidding. My work encompasses contract law, negotiations, liens, easements, appraisals, lending issues, construction, permits, design, remodels, neighborhood regulations, economic trends, and political impacts.

In Chicago’s diverse real estate market, top agents are some of the most resourceful, skilled, and dedicated professionals. I am proud to count myself among them, committed to delivering outstanding service to my clients.
