Recent sales
A few of the deals closed across Chicago and the Chicagoland suburbs.
Westchester, IL 60154
Priced to move for a family relocating out of state. Multiple offers came in within days, and the deal closed over a single weekend so they weren’t stuck resetting for showings.
Hanover Park, IL 60133
A past client who bought and sold with me back to back: I listed this home right after they closed on the next one. A price adjustment brought multiple offers, and we closed in 30 days.
Des Plaines, IL 60016
A full rehab, start to finish. Once the work wrapped, the home went under contract and closed in just 17 days.
Streamwood, IL 60107
A past client who updated the home and decided to sell, capitalizing on the equity it had gained. Closed in 30 days, just $500 off the asking price.
Bolingbrook, IL 60490
Represented the buyers, past clients looking for more square footage in a different area. The home had been sitting on the market since March, listed at $501k. We went under contract within a month and closed below asking.
Bartlett, IL 60103
Represented the buyers, who wanted to buy before they sold. We won a multiple-offer situation on a home that had only been on the market 4 days, closed in 30, then got their previous home listed and sold.
