homes for sale joliet il: Can You Find Us Another House Like The One You Said We Should Have.... - 05/11/12 06:01 AM
"Do you think you can find us another house just like the house we should have written an offer on, but didn't?
And the next evening the bank accepted an offer?
You know, the house that matched our criteria EXACT and it was in the location we loved and the price range we wanted to spend?
The house that was perfect and we were so excited and didn't want to leave and was imagining where we would put our furniture and talked about how wonderful the walk-out basement would be for parties in the summer?

homes for sale joliet il: How Many Homes Do You Show Your Buyer? - 05/07/12 06:01 AM
At a yard sale over the weekend I bought two books: The Book of Useless Information" and "The Best Book of Useless information Ever." These books are AWESOME and very entertaining!
I got to a section that read "The average buyer views 8 homes before purchasing a home." Now this book was published in 2006. But it got me to thinking the average number of homes I'm showing to MY buyers before they write an offer."
So, I went back to the last 15 buyers and pulled all the MLS sheets. I actually keep all the MLS sheets with notes from all the … (6 comments)

homes for sale joliet il: Buyers Decide Within 8 Seconds Whether They Are Interested In A Home - 05/07/12 05:33 AM
I am a huge fan of Real Estate Agent and Mogul Barbara Corcoran. Barbara is a Real Estate Contributor on NBC's Today show and the wonderful addition to ABC's Shark Tank. Per Barbara:
"BUYERS DECIDE WITHIN 8 SECONDS WHETHER THEY ARE INTERESTED IN YOUR HOME."
I'm not surprised by this at all. It's the first impression when walking in and hearing "Wow, this is cute" or "Ugh, what is that smell?" pretty much sums of the next few minutes of the tour of that home.
I always tell my buyers that they will know when they walk in if this is … (93 comments)

homes for sale joliet il: A Question TONS of Buyers Ask Me Regarding Final Price... - 02/21/12 12:30 PM
Recently I have had a lot of buyers ask "How close are home selling to list price?" I remember when I first got into real estate, homes were selling 3-4% of list price.
So I went back to 2008 and pulled some numbers for Plainfield. I could only pull the first 500 closed properties because that is what the MLS allows me to do. But in 2008, sold properties closed averaging 95.59% of their final list price. This is a 4.41% difference between property sale prices and their final list price.
In 2011 (in Plainfield), the sold properties closed averaging 95.95% … (1 comments)

homes for sale joliet il: Buyers! Find Out If You Have Any Relatives That Are Realtors FIRST! - 01/29/12 09:55 AM
I'm posting this as public because I want it to be on my public post so buyers know what not to do.
Here's the story: I rec'd an email about a week about from Steve saying he wants to buy a townhome in Plainfield. I emailed him back and he forwarded his preapproval letter so I set him up on a search and we went back and forth on townhomes and Plainfield. I forwarded 2 school websites so they could make an informed decision for their 10 year old son on his schooling.
We were set to go out today at 11am … (58 comments)

homes for sale joliet il: REMAX Realty of Joliet - A Testimonial! - 01/26/12 10:47 AM
Roger & Annette relocated from Ohio to the Aurora area for a job....
LaNita is the reason Wife and I finally got our dream house. LaNita listened to what we were looking for, narrowed down the thousands of choices to a manageable level, and helped us sort through the bad. Then she got to work scheduling home viewings – sometimes with only a few hours notice. LaNita was (practically) always available. And while Wife and I concerned ourselves about what kind of granite counters to look for or if we liked the fireplace, LaNita was there powering through inspections, working with … (1 comments)

homes for sale joliet il: A testimonial from a satisified REMAX Realty of Joliet Buyer! - 01/06/12 05:40 PM
We signed up with LaNita after locating her on Zillow. She was extremely fast in her responses, via email and phone, and we were soon looking at houses. My wife and I were first time home buyers, and to say buying your first house is overwhelming is an understatement (we have two little girls who need space to roam). LaNita was quick to narrow down our listings to review based on our desired criteria, price range, and was able to provide us with quick little tid bits, which allowed us to narrow down our search even further. Once we discovered (after … (4 comments)

homes for sale joliet il: FREE MLS HOME SEARCH - JOLIET IL REAL ESTATE - 10/02/10 12:50 PM
Are you a first time homebuyer and not sure where to start? Do you wonder if you need to find the house first and THEN talk to a lender? Do you know what you should look for in a home that fits your needs now but will be good for resale later? Does a short sale make sense for you? If you are renting, and your lease doesn't expire for another 6 months, when is the right time to look? Should I consider a townhome/condo or a single family home?
