I am a licensed real estate agent. I live very close to the Hyde Park area and I am very familiar with this location. Please feel free to contact me.

Be alert to the fact that some of the agents and mortgage brokers soliciting on this site are unlicensed - and that presents a genuine risk.

Get recommendations from your friends and business associates. If that doesn't work, contact several of the larger brand-name firms with offices in Hyde Park and ask to speak to someone with 10 or more years experience in the area. Interview several.

Hyde Park has always been a bit of a "world apart" that's been difficult for outside agents to understand thoroughly. Do your best to find someone local.

First-Time Home Buyer, I welcome the opportunity to preapprove you for your purchase. Feel free to visit my web site to learn more about me and how you can benefit as with my other clients.

Hey Sherryl,

Hyde Park has quite a few units on the market, especially in the two bedroom range.

This is a great time to look to buy in HP. The U of C buyer market usually makes their decisions right about now. Because of this, traditionally there are less buyers in the fall HP to compete with than in the summer.

I have worked specifically in the Hyde Park for the past six years, and have represented numerous buyers and sellers in HP. I and am happy to share my knowledge of the local market with my clients. I am familiar with most of the HP condo associations and can help you navigate the details of buying in HP.

Feel free to contact me with any questions.

Wonderful - it is a great time to be a buyer! Hyde Park and the surrounding areas have some bargains for qualified buyers. As I am sure you know, if you can close before November 30th and you are a first time homebuyer you qualify for a $8,000 income tax credit.
I commend your approach - looking for agents/lenders to talk with before selecting your real estate team. It is a good idea to meet and talk with a few agents to determine who would be a good fit to work with you. You want someone familiar with the area, experienced and preferably a full time agent. I would be happy to sit down with you to talk about your goals and preferences when you are ready. In the meantime, you can check out my web site and search on line for properties http://snoble.illinoisproperty.com. If you like I can give you contact info for some of my clients so you can talk directly to them regarding my level of service.

Before meeting with agents you want to get pre-qualified by a reliable lender, so you know what the ceiling is for your purchase. I strongly recommend you do your own budget and determine what YOU are comfortable with for your monthly mortgage. http://www.bankrate.com has mortgage calculators that you can play with to determine how interest rates and downpayments affect your payments. As far as a lender, I can recommend Tony Angelotti with Wintrust as a great lender. Many of my clients have used him very successfully. You can reach Tony at 708-326-3100
Best wishes in your house hunting adventure!

I can help you out with both! Ive been in the real estate and financing business for seven years. I am very familiar with the area and would be glad to help. Feel free to contact me at any time.
