Selling

What's it worth, and is now the time?

I've bought, rehabbed, staged, and sold Chicago property for twenty years, including my own. Single-family in the suburbs or a 4-flat with tenants in place, the job is the same: tell you the truth about your number, present it right, and get you to the closing table clean.

Wondering what your property is worth?

Where it starts

Tell me where you're going.

Every seller I've worked with had a different reason for moving. A new baby, a new job, a building that became more work than it's worth, a chapter that ended. What you should do with your property depends on where you're headed, so that's where we start. Tell me what you're trying to make happen. If selling gets you there, I'll show you exactly how I'd do it. If it doesn't, I'll say so. Either way, you'll leave that conversation knowing more than you walked in with.

How I sell

01Pricing

The most expensive mistake in selling is starting too high and chasing the market down. I'll show you the comps I'd use and why, so the number is one you understand, not one you take on faith.

02Prep

Most sellers spend money on the wrong things getting ready. I'll walk your property and give you the short list that actually changes your price, and what to skip.

03Negotiation

You will never be pressured into taking an offer. When a lowball or an inspection report lands, I'll tell you what's standard, what's negotiable, and what I'd do if it were mine.

What you're selling

Selling a home

Staging, photography, and launch timing tuned to your block, not a template. I prep the house for its optimal price and manage every showing, so the only decision left on your plate is which offer.

Selling a building

Tenant-occupied units, rent rolls, and estoppels don't scare me. That's my specialty. I market 2-4 units to both investor buyers and house hackers, which usually means more offers and a better number. I'll tell you whether to sell occupied or vacant, and what each path nets you.

Skin in the game

I sell what I've owned.

I didn't learn this business from a course. I've bought Chicago buildings with my own money, taken the tenant calls, stood in the permit lines, and sat at the closing tables. Twenty years of it. So when I tell you what your property is worth, it's the same math I run before I buy anything myself.
