School Search for Illinois

Real estate agents get asked about school systems a lot. Unfortunately, they have to be careful with their responses as it will only be personal opinion unless the agent has a photographic memory. Also, there is no way for an agent to know the exact borderlines of different school districts without double checking.

An informed agent will not give your their personal opinion but will guide you to make your own choices. Every listing on the Cook County Real Estate website will show you at minimum the school districts for all listings (grammar, junior high and high school). A good website to compare one school to another is Greatschools.com.

Automated Home Finder Search

It's fun to search the entire active MLS for Northern IL and it even allows you to save your searches. However, if you're really looking for your next home you don't want to rely on having to go to the MLS every day on your own as you might miss out on the perfect listing.

That's why you should fill out the easy form to create an Advanced Automated Home Finder search. You will get new listings sent directly to your e-mail so you don't have to worry about doing daily searches.

In fact, if you want to change your search it can be done quickly and easily. If you're just starting your home search it's OK to take your time to see what's out there by doing your own searches. But if you're serious and actually setting appointments to see properties, then you need to have an e-mail home search set up.
