“Picky buyers”? We call that knowing what you want! 😉🏡

Terry & Mary, we loved helping you sell in Naperville and find your dream home in St. Charles. Thank you for trusting us with both moves and for these kind words! ❤️

“We sold & bought in Naperville & St Charles using The Move Smarter Team, Raul Delgado & Samantha Bauman-Nelson and we are so happy we did! They went beyond our expectations using targeted emails & flyers sent to properties we were interested in and got us into properties before they had an Open House viewing on several occasions! This extra attention proved to be successful and we found our dream home! We were picky buyers and they were patient with us and listened to our needs. They always returned our calls/texts immediately; and therefore, we saw the properties within hours and that’s how we found our home. They were committed to us throughout the process of selling and then later buying a home. I would not hesitate to use them again!”

🚨 BREAKING NEWS FROM THE MOVE SMARTER NEWS DESK 🚨

We have an important correction to yesterday’s report regarding Donnie Wahlberg’s St. Charles home…

According to a very reliable source — Donnie Wahlberg himself 😂 — he is NOT leaving town.

Donnie stopped by Sam’s Instagram post to clear things up and even added, “hope to cross paths again!”

Bringing you the important real estate news you didn’t know you needed. 🤩😂

We’re a little sad to see Donnie Wahlberg and Jenny McCarthy leaving St. Charles… but we’re pretty sure finding the buyer for this one would be a DREAM COME TRUE for SAM 😂

She may be a little disappointed she didn’t get the call to list it… lol, so we figure the next best thing is finding the buyer!

Their St. Charles home is officially on the market for $2.799 million and if you’re in the market, Sam would LOVE to set up a private showing for you. And yes… we’re pretty sure she’ll clear her schedule for this one.

But seriously, you definitely don’t need a $2.8 million budget to call us! If buying in St. Charles or the surrounding area has been on your mind, let’s start looking. Send us a message with what you’re looking for and your price range and we’ll take it from there.

And if you actually want to see Donnie’s house… PLEASE ask for Sam. You’ll make her entire year. 😂

JUST SOLD in Mill Creek! 🏡

After 16 years in their family home, yesterday was a big day for our sellers, Amy & Brett. They officially closed one chapter here in Geneva and are opening a brand-new one with a relocation to Nashville! ❤️

And what a way to close it out…

Listed at $425,000
Under contract in just 4 days
SOLD for $430,000!

Selling a home you’ve lived in for this long is about so much more than a transaction. There are memories, emotions, a lot of moving pieces and a whole new adventure waiting on the other side.

We’re so happy for Amy & Brett and incredibly thankful they trusted us to help them through this move.

Thinking about your own next chapter? Whether that move is across town or across the country, let’s talk.

It’s officially FALL! 🍂

Who else is ready for pumpkin spice, football games, cozy sweaters, cooler weather and all the fall things?! Definitely one of our favorite times of year!

And just because summer is over doesn’t mean the real estate market is. If buying or selling is still on your 2026 list, there’s time - and NOW is the time to start making a plan.

Thinking about a move? Send us a message. We’d love to help you figure out your next step.

If you’re new here… hi! 👋 We’re Sam + Raul, the faces behind The Move Smarter Team.

Before real estate, we both spent years in the hospitality industry, and that background has definitely shaped the way we run our business today. Taking care of people, paying attention to the details and figuring things out when something doesn’t go according to plan is just what we do.

We’re also both western suburb people. We live here, work here, raise our families here and know these communities because they’re our communities too.

We’re big on communication, being hands-on and actually being there when our clients need us. Buying or selling a home can get stressful, and our job is to handle the details, solve the problems and make the whole thing feel a little less overwhelming.

And the best part? So many of our clients end up becoming friends. ❤️

We’ve helped hundreds of families over the years, but we never want anyone to feel like they’re just another transaction.

Two different personalities. Two different sets of strengths. One team that genuinely cares about helping you get where you’re going.

That’s what Move Smarter means to us.

Sam + Raul
