In today's challenging real estate market there are many ways to properly expose and market homes to potential buyers. For the time being, you have may have chosen to market a property For Sale by Owner or FSBO. To that end, I have determined a need for a comprehensive, no obligation page for those sellers who want to market their Joliet area real estate on their own. I have provided some of the best tools and forms you might find useful in the professional presentation of your home and welcome you to make regular use of them

Please feel free to call me at anytime if I can be of service or when the time comes to interview the right Realtor® for the task of selling your home. I can be reached at 815.725.6260, via email bkrealtor@aol.com or simply by clicking here. Best of luck!

Selling your home is one of the most important financial transactions you will make in your life. Don't take risks. Selling your home is nothing like selling a car. Every home is different and every home buyer wants to offer you as little as possible. How do you determine the real market value? 

Almost all homes are sold using a real estate agent. As top real estate professionals, it is our job to help you negotiate with all those buyers who want something for nothing; Not to mention preparing your home for sale, marketing it locally in the Joliet area and even nationally, and guiding you through the complex paperwork and pitfalls of escrow and closing. Make sure you are really ready to handle all of that before pounding that sign into your front yard. Errors can be extremely costly. 

Remember: Buyers want to offer you as close to nothing as possible! While that "For Sale By Owner" sign might sound like a good idea, it usually means a different thing to buyers, most commonly - "Try to steal this one." 

If you must sell your own home, at least let us give you a sense of its true market value. Tell us a bit about your home, and We'll do a quick Comparative Market Analysis to let you know what we feel it is worth. We'll also describe, as experienced, real estate agents, how we would market your property. This is free, with no strings attached. Contact us now.

There's More to Selling Your Home than a "For Sale" Sign In Your Front Yard: BEWARE.

Even if a simple sign in your yard did produce a buyer knocking on your door, how will you handle the following questions:

"How does your home compare to others like it in Joliet, Shorewood, Channahon/Minooka, Crest Hill and the surrounding areas?" 

"How did you determine the fair market value of this property?" 

"What about financing? Can you help?" 

"If I make an offer, who will draw up the paperwork?" 

"Why aren't you using a real estate agent? Is there something wrong with the property?" 

"Since you aren't using a real estate agent, we can take their fee right off the top, right?"

Below you will find all the documents you will need to complete your transaction. The sales contract is the accepted form for the Chicagoland Area and has been attorney approved. The mold disclosure is required by Illinois State Law on just about all residential transactions. The lead based paint disclosure is required under federal law for any home built before 1978. The radon disclosure is required for all transactions in Illinois. I have provided these documents as a service in hopes of making your transaction smoother. I do this with no obligation to you, and all I ask is that if the time comes for you to hire a professional agent that you keep me in mind and allow me to interview for the position. Please contact me with any questions you may have, or consult your attorney.
