Home Buying Around La Grange IL

Nancy Miller Helps Make the Difference!

Buying a Home in the Area - or Perhaps Moving Across the Country?

When it comes to buying a home, the process can be overwhelming if you find yourself without the right guide. I realize it’s easy for me to claim to be that “right Realtor®”, but if you are willing to take a couple minutes to read here, I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised.

First, according to the Midwest Real Estate Database, LLC, which maintains all data for the Multiple Listing Service, Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage was the top real estate brokerage in La Grange, La Grange Park, Brookfield, Hinsdale, and Western Springs in 2016 both in the number of units sold and sales volume.

What does this mean to you?

Because we are the predominant company in this area of Chicagoland, as a Real Estate Broker partnered with Coldwell Banker in La Grange, IL, Nancy Miller knows when many new properties are about to come on the market. In a competitive marketplace like real estate, having a connection to a vast network of brokers is invaluable to making sure that you hear about properties right when they are available. Additionally, Nancy can immediately put out the word to hundreds of brokers and scour the area for the perfect home for you.

Second, although Coldwell Banker has been around for over 100 years, we actually lead the charge in our industry’s technological advancements. I combine internet search sources, GPS enabled phone apps that identify nearby properties that the average search may miss, and personal tours of area homes into my plan for each buyer I represent.

What does this mean to you?

It doesn’t matter whether you are a first time home buyer or an experienced homeowner looking to downsize, Nancy is able to bring you the best homes that match your search criteria.

Home Buying Process

The home buying process varies from situation to situation, but there are some basic steps that you can expect:

Prequalification

This step can be a little intimidating, however, it’s important to know how much house you can comfortably afford. I find that this can alleviate most of the stress my clients feel about the process. Knowing where you stand, guides you to where you will move. It’s as simple as that.

Home Search

This is the fun step! You know what you can comfortably afford, now you get to see the inventory of possibilities!

Making an Offer / Negotiating

This is where Nancy’s 25+ years of real estate experience truly come into play for you. She knows the marketplace inside and out, and is able to guide her clients toward making both a reasonable offer, while representing their best interests.

Inspection and Attorney Review

Hiring a licensed Illinois home inspector is a key step. They will go through each and every system in your chosen property, and make sure that everything is as it should be. You’ll receive a report on any and all issues so you are well informed. Hiring an attorney to represent you is another key step. The attorney will review and advise you on your inspection document, as well as, all home purchase documents, so there are no surprises at closing.

Finalizing Your Financing

You had a prequalification, but this is the step in which everything gets put into motion. Not everyone needs a mortgage, but most do, and I can recommend notable loan officers to you for this purpose.

Closing

Cross the T’s and dot the I’s, and get those keys in hand!
