Since 1969, Weichert, Realtors has been perfecting a smarter approach to real estate focused on the needs, concerns, hopes and dreams of our customers.
Weichert has grown from a single office into one of the nation’s leading providers of homeownership services by putting customers first. Today, we continue to refine our approach in response to the changing needs and concerns of people like you.
There really is a Weichert Difference. Or, we should say, differences.
Difference #1: Dynamic Marketing
When you receive your complimentary marketing presentation from me, it will be customized for your particular home. Wait until you see all I'll do to attract buyers to your home: through advertising, direct mail, neighborhood calling, our trusted name and well-known yellow signs, and our unique use of the Internet described below.
Difference #2: Online Strategy
When you list with us, we make certain that the right buyers can readily find your listing on the Internet, where 80% of all buyers are searching.* Our unique "Quick Connect" service links buyers who express interest in your home directly with a Sales Associate who can supply more details and quickly set up an appointment to show your home. And we'll automatically notify everyone whose search criteria match your home. We'll even give your home additional exposure on other leading sites, including realtor.com, yahoorealestate.com, homes.com,trulia.com, zillow.com, realestate.com, and dozens of others.
Difference #3: Strategic Pricing
Unlike other real estate companies that use a Comparative Market Analysis(CMA), we've invented our own exclusive pricing method called the Weichert Price Trend Analysis. By projecting local trends, it goes beyond the CMA to help us suggest a price that reflects your home's true market value.
Difference #4: Open House Program
No other real estate company is as committed to Open Houses. Ask me about everything that goes into making the most of an Open House, from attracting attention before hand, to providing more assistance during, to following up with all interested prospects directly afterward.
Difference #5: Teamwork
I work closely with a Weichert Gold Services Manager who is a financial expert. He makes sure we highlight your home's affordability, then works to qualify buyers and to provide them with the financing they need to purchase your home.
Difference #6: Neighborhood Specialists
We are the best and most thoroughly trained in the industry. We use our thorough knowledge of your neighborhood to target the people most likely to buy your home.

There are a TON of short sales out there right now. The trick is knowing where to find them. My advice would be to select a Realtor to send you the short sale listings. Typically, although not always, they will be 6-10% below market value. I just sold one for $182,500 that had been bought in 2004 for $205,000. It is an excellent time to buy. - Thu Jul 17 2008, 14:04
Got a great, classy,townhome for you at 345 Springmist Court in Town Centre. It's a 2 bedroom, 1.5 bath in a private setting, asking $163,900. That's less than it sold for 3 years ago. I have it Open this Sunday, July 20th, from 1:00-4:00pm. - Thu Jul 17 2008, 14:02
Bolingrbook is getting tough. Right now there are over 8 months of available inventory...not much is selling there. - Thu Jul 17 2008, 13:58
You may want to start on Zillow.com and Craigslist.. Realtors typically syndicate their listings...in other words, sites funnel listings to each other, so you get much more exposure that way. As Joan mentioned below, you can expect to be on 25-50 websites with a Realtor, including their brokerages, Realtor.com, Trulia.com, Homes.com, Zillow.com, Craigslist, etc... The bottom line is that different buyers use different sources for their home search, so to truly be effective, you do have to be EVERYWHERE. - Thu Jul 17 2008, 13:56
DuPage county currently has close to 12 months of inventory, while Naperville is in the 8 month range. Now, this doesn't mean it will take 8 months to sell your home, it simply means that there is that much residual inventory you would be competing with. If a home is priced correctly it should always sell within 90 days. If it's on the high end of the price range, be ready to stick with it for 6 months or more. - Thu Jul 17 2008, 13:53
