We love helping guide buyers in finding their dream home. Annette’s Accredited Buyer Representative (ABR)designation helps give buyers the resources that they need to make decisions for their family in choosing an area, finding the right home, and negotiating the best price & terms possible.
Sellers can rely on our expertise in marketing. Annette’s Seller Representative Specialist (SRS) designation helps us guide sellers with pricing their home correctly and then making sure it is marketed to buyers looking in the area. Our team ues professional photography [see an example here], detailed listing brochures, internet, & social media marketing just to name a few of the ways we promote our listings.
Here are just a few things our clients have to say about our team:
"[They] came to our house before we listed it to give us ideas on how to declutter it to make it appealing. She also showed us comps in the area to help us set fair market value for our home at the time of listing. She was in contact with the buyer's agent and our attorney every step of the way during the sale of our home once we had a contract. She also had tools so we could see online the progress of our sale as well as other listings in the area which were in competition with our home so we could keep an eye on the market. She works hard for every client, whether purchasing or selling property." Tina P, Glendale Heights, IL
"My husband and I just sold our first home and bought our second home with Annette and had a great experience! She's knowledgeable in several different geographic areas. She also helped us understand the bidding process on both sides of our sale and helped the process move as smoothly as possible. We will continue to recommend Annette to friends and family in the market for a realtor." Jennifer B. Bolingbrook, IL
"Annette did an amazing job. She paid attention to our needs and finding us a house to match them. She was great working around our schedule and did things in a very timely manner. When it came to closing she had great insight and did everything in her power to get us what we wanted. My wife and I were very satisfied and would definitely use her again!" Chris A., Hanover Park, IL
