For Buyers

Market conditions have never been better for buyers, but finding the right property, negotiating the best deal, and managing all the details are as complicated as ever. Whether you’re a first-time buyer, a current homeowner, or a real estate investor, you need a trustworthy, knowledgable real estate professional to help you through the home buying process. You need an Executive.

Executives Versus Agents

A real estate Executive is more than an agent. An Executive is a trusted source of local information, familiar with every block of every neighborhood, and able to help you understand how and where you’d fit best. An Executive understands local market conditions, so you can make a conservative but fair offer that will get you in the right home at the right price. Above all, an Executive is a professional, with years of experience negotiating deals and managing legal and regulatory red tape. When you’re dealing with an Executive, you can relax and focus on finding the perfect home, knowing you’re in good hands.

The Perfect Home

A home is more than a number of bathrooms and bedrooms. While amenities set baselines and standards for your search, an ideal home is one that meets your needs for things that can’t be measured in bedrooms, bathrooms, and square footage. Style, safety, history, neighborhood character, local schools, cultural resources, and how much you can reasonably afford are just a few of the factors your Executive will consider during your home search. A perfect home should stir your emotions, and an Executive will help you find the home that does just that–without letting emotions get in the way of your negotiations.

Negotiations and Financing

An Executive is an expert negotiator who knows where to start an offer, how far to push, and when to walk away. Executives can also help you understand the “hidden” costs and fees associated with the home buying process to ensure that you don’t get in over your head. Once your offer is accepted, an Executive will walk you through inspections and other contingencies, closing, underwriting, and escrow, so you can move into your new home without any worries.

West Chicago treasurer eliminated, tax rejected

West Chicago voters eliminated the city’s elected office of treasurer Tuesday, and rejected a flat $10 tax on real estate transfers.

With all 23 precincts reporting, residents voted 1,043 to 417 in support of doing away with the treasurer’s job, and 1,022 to 426 against the proposed transfer tax, according to unofficial results of two referendums.

City officials said eliminating the treasurer’s office — a move supported by current Treasurer Don Earley — will save some $4,500 a year in salary expenses, reduce operating costs and improve efficiency. The change takes effect in 2013, when Earley’s term expires.

The tax, meanwhile, would have been used to ensure all debts owed the city were paid before a seller moves, officials said.
