What to expect
BUYERS
Buying a home is a uniquely personal endeavor. We take a fresh approach to your search: we start with a personal interview, discovering what you want and what you need (what’s a must have and what’s a nice to have?). @properties has access to the largest number of pre-market properties in Chicago. In a marketplace that is moving as quickly as ours is, this is crucial to possibly finding that perfect for you home BEFORE it hits the MLS, Zillow, etc.

Together, we will refine the range to choose a listing price

Before the your home is listed on the MLS, we’ll do a round of pre-marketing, so agents with active buyers looking for a home like yours have an opportunity to
