Call us with your real estate questions at 630-503-6555. Our goal is your goal. Whether you are buying, selling or both we will work hard to meet your goals. We will let you know what you need to do to get your home ready for market. Provide you with a net proceeds that shows you the expenses to sell so you know where you are at.
If you are thinking about buying you need to talk to a loan officer first to get pre-qualified so you know what type of loan will work for you and the price range. What type of loan you choose will determine the condition the home must be in. If you find a home that needs repairs and the seller is not willing to do them and you have the money you can set up an escrow account if it is under $5,000 for repairs. If it is over that amount you will need to get pre-qualified for a loan that will allow you to make the repairs. This is a different kind of approval. Separate from the normal approval. We can talk to you more about this or your loan officer can explain it to you.
It is still a great time to sell or buy so get in touch with us so we can get you started.
