Everyone will claim to put your home on 100s of web sites. These will likely only be the sites that are free and automatically pull listings from the MLS. There are numerous high traffic sites that either charge money to list homes or are require extra work (manual posting). We list you on sites like craigslist, Trulia, Googlebase, homes.com and others that are not included in other brokers offerings.

Activate this option for free and we will send you out all the listings currently active in your area or building that are similar to yours. Additionally we send you notice when any of these listings changes price or a new home is put on the market. You can also receive all the listings that have currently closed in your area.

We provide over the phone consultation as part of the package so we can review any offers with you and answer your home pricing questions. We return phone calls 7 days a week.

We will send you details on recent home sales in your area or your building so that you can be more effective in pricing your home.

On the MLS under showing instructions, REALTORS are directed to call you at your phone number to set up a showing. That being said, showing instructions are not pulled by other major web sites like Realtor.com and the Chicago Tribune. In fact, whatever broker you list with will have their name and phone number prominently displayed on these sites. This raises some important questions: How do these leads get to me? What if a prospect calls me on a Saturday night for a Sunday showing or any day after business hours?
We have a great solution that helps to ensure that you will not miss a call. On Realtor.com and other web sites it will list our 800# to get more information on a property. When a prospect calls that number they can dial in your MLS# (which is given on all these sites) and be forwarded directly to your phone number. That way you will not miss a potential showing when a prospect calls on Saturday night for a Sunday showing. These calls are auto forwarded directly to you.

If you have trouble selling your home and decide to hire a traditional real estate agent, we help you get your money back. We have agreements with many of the top agents in the area. Interview with our partners and if you decide to use one of them then we will refund your $299 back when your home closes.
