"Real Estate is a great investment". We have all heard it but here is a real life example.
My clients purchased their new construction home in Romeoville in 1996 for $144k.
They live in it and raised their two children. Now, identical homes in their neighborhood are selling for $300k. They are poised to make over $150k!!

Now, let's say they decided to rent 28 years ago.
If they paid a monthly rent of $1,500, they would have spent $504k and have NOTHING TO SHOW FOR IT!!!

Being in real estate, home buyers always ask, "What is the first thing I need to do when looking to purchase a home?".
Aside from finding an agent you know and trust, here are a few tips!
1. Start saving money for down payment. (If you haven't already.)
2. Get your finances in order and get pre-approved! (No sense in looking at homes outside your price range!)
3. Know and understand your credit. (How can you improve your credit for a lower interest rate?)

I have quickly learned that every real estate transaction is special, and this one is no different. Thank you Jen Conte Takeda for letting me assist you on this transaction. It was an amazing opportunity to learn from one of the best in the business!
Our clients are some of the nicest people I've ever met and I wish them happiness and joy in the next chapter of their lives!

Approximately 10% of the people in the world are left handed. And apparently both my kids fall into that category. Happy International Left Handers Day!
