Liz O'Connell of Baird and Warner

Liz O'Connell of Baird and Warner When my husband and I were looking to purchase our first home, we chose Oak Park, IL. for its excellent school system and proximity to the city.

Born in Wisconsin, raised on the North Shore, and, later becoming a resident of the Oak Park/River Forest area to raise my family, I can assure you all neighborhoods are not alike. Having the privilege of living in these various areas, gives me a unique perspective as to what each area offers, including the current Property Market Trends. As our family grew, we eventually moved to River Forest, IL. where we resided for over 20 years before recently moving to Forest Park, IL. Always involved in my communities, I currently serve on the Planning Commission of Forest Park. As a Realtor and homeowner I value the opportunity to serve and be a voice for current and future homeowners. Remember..."Real Estate Is More than Just the Home You Live In - It's The Life You Get Out Of It." The selling and buying process can be challenging. Previously in sales and now in the real estate industry for over ten years, I strive to make each experience easy and stress free for both buyers and sellers. For sellers, I will work tirelessly to get your home market ready and sold for the highest market value with the least amount of inconvenience. I have a great team that will assist me with Marketing and Technology. If necessary, I will bring in a personal stager that will get your home looking its' very best. For buyers, I will preview the newest and "Coming Soon" listings that fit your criteria. I will assist you throughout the entire process and get you that "Perfect Home." As a full time broker with a successful sales record, you can trust me to "MOVE" you to your next life's chapter. If you or someone you know is looking to Buy, Sell or Rent, call me. I'd love to work with you. If your property is currently listed, please disregard this solicitation. Information provided is not guaranteed, and is subject to change and withdrawal without notice.

Are you aware that obvious neglect is the biggest turn-off for homebuyers?

🏑✨ As a seasoned real estate professional, I've seen firsthand how grimy bathrooms, broken fixtures, and overgrown yards can send potential buyers sprinting for the exit.

Neglect signals deeper issues that can lead to costly repairs down the line. But don't worry!

Simple updates like a fresh coat of paint or tidying up the exterior can significantly boost your home's appeal without breaking the bank.

Are you looking to make your home irresistible to buyers?

🏑✨ Here are 7 expert tips to elevate your home's appeal!

Start with the basics by addressing repairs and adding a fresh coat of paint.

A clean home sends a powerful message that it has been loved and cared for.

🧼 Next, consider rearranging your furniture to create a more inviting flowβ€”floating furniture can make rooms feel larger and more welcoming.

Don't forget to declutter!
