Selling Your Home

For most, selling your home is one of the biggest financial decisions you will ever make. Typically, when hiring an agent, you are charged a percentage of your sale price (commission) to list your home in the Multiple Listing Service (MLS - the database exclusively used by agents when looking up available property for their clients). With the advent of the internet, many of the resources available to agents are now available to the general public - including viewing listings from the MLS.

The MLS of Northern Illinois is the world's largest listing service with over 40,000 subscribing Agents.  We utilize this service along with the latest technological and traditional marketing efforts to assist in selling your property.

Together with our experts, we will review your transaction and advise you on an appropriate price and marketing campaign to bring your transaction to a successful conclusion.  Commissions are determined by your transactional needs.

For those comfortable with their experience in selling a home,  we also offer you the ability to save thousands of dollars in commissions by using our Basic Listing Service - charging a flat fee to list your property - allowing you to do some of the work yourself; taking advantage of the available technology.  We will help you determine whether or not this is the right choice for you.
