About Me
How Can I Help You
Hi, I'm Tim Soper and my only goal as a Real Estate Professional is to help my clients buy and sell property by providing them prompt, expert, and complete counsel in the pursuit of their real estate objectives. So I ask you:

How can I help you?

Are looking for an agent that is working for you full-time? Someone who is easily accessible by phone, email, or in person? Who will promptly answer your questions? I can help you.

Do you want in-depth knowledge of the communities of SW Chicagoland including Shorewood, Joliet, Channahon, Minooka, Morris, and surrounding towns? Of the schools, neighborhoods, and real estate market conditions? Do you seek expertise with contract terms and procedures? Or a wealth of knowledge of loan programs, investments, and foreclosures? I can help you.

Most importantly, are you looking for a trusted teammate? For competent negotiation and complete management of the buying/selling process on your behalf? I can help you.

Louis, Home Buyer in Illinois

when negotiating the purchase price of a short sale who sets the price on the sellers side?

Asked Wed Jun 11 2008, 14:26 by Louis  -  Illinois  -  Foreclosure  -  5 answers
Tim Soper answered:
Louis,
You're finding out the hard way that a short sale can be complicated. In reality, you are negotiating with both the Seller and Lender. The Seller owns the home and, although it may not be in their best interest, can chose to stop the sale to you. The Lender has to agree to a payoff for less than the amount of the mortgage owed (I won't get into 2nd & 3rd lienholders).

Nicole, Home Buyer in Sterling

Ok, well where do I start. My fiance and I made an offer on a brand new home that had gone into foreclosure.

Asked Thu Jun 5 2008, 14:03 by Nicole  -  Sterling  -  Foreclosure  -  3 answers
Tim Soper answered:
Nicole,
Wow! Your situation covers a slew of issues and it would be a disservice to answer them in a forum such as this. Your most pressing need is to find an attorney to represent your interests. If you want to bounce this off a real estate professional, and you are not currently working with a real estate professional, you can feel free to contact me via my website below. I wish you the best of luck.

Jenna Hernan…, Home Buyer in Chicago

what website is their for foreclosures that is totally free, is there any?

Asked Sat May 31 2008, 19:16 by Jenna Hernan…  -  Hegewisch  -  Foreclosure  -  4 answers
Tim Soper answered:
Jenna,

At RE/MAX we have an agreement with RealtyTrac, the premier source for foreclosure listings, to provide foreclosure listings on our agent sites. Please feel free to use the search feature at my site: http://www.TimSoper.com. Just click on "Start Advanced Search" then click on the "Property Search" tab then click on the "Foreclosures" tab. When you find a property you like you can click the "Agent Assistance" button for more detailed info.

This is a great (FREE) way to get started in looking for foreclosed properties. If you are new to foreclosed properties, they are not typically "vanilla" deals. I would certainly recommend working with an agent who has experience with these transactions. If you are not working with an agent and need help finding someone in the Hegewisch area, let me know thru my site and I'll help to find an agent for you.

Good Luck,
Tim Soper

Sonia, Home Buyer in Glendale Heights

We made an offer on a bank-owned home 3 weeks ago, and still have not heard from the bank.

Asked Tue Jun 3 2008, 12:57 by Sonia  -  Chicago  -  Home Buying  -  10 answers
Tim Soper answered:
Sonia,
I agree with Dino...with an REO you should be getting an answer in less than 3 weeks. Your Realtor should be communicating with the listing agent to find out why the delay. You may not speed up the process, but you should be able to get a reasonable approximation of when your offer will be decided on.
Good Luck,
Tim Soper
