Southwest Chicago Suburbs Real Estate

The #1 site for Chicago Suburbs Real Estate is so popular on the search engines that many prospective buyers and sellers find the site that are looking in other areas. The link above shows the different suburbs that this site covers. In fact, some of those areas are going to be deleted as the areas served is getting revamped.

It really doesn't matter if buyer prospects from the north side find the site as the Northern IL MLS covers a huge area including all of Chicago and north, west and south suburbs. So any buyer for Northern IL can create an MLS search from the site.

For sellers that want an Internet CMA that reside out of the area might have to get referred to a local agent to do this for them. If buyers that use the MLS want to start seeing homes in areas not included in this site they also might need to be referred out. But that's OK as we have a great list of good referral agents so you can be assured you'll be well taken care of.

Find Your Dream Chicago Suburbs Home

Although it's certainly fun and interesting to search the Northern IL MLS, if you're busy and don't feel like going back or just don't have the time, you might be missing the perfect home. There is an easier way.

Just fill out the Automated Chicago Suburbs Real Estate Home Finder Form with as much information as possible. By doing this, you'll receive all active listings in the MLS sent to your e-mail. You can access the listings at your convenience.

The search will be made using your search parameters such as location, price and amenities. You can easily change any of those search items by just sending an e-mail.

Even though it's a Buyer's Market right now and there's a slew of real estate for sale, homes priced correctly are still getting multiple offers or are selling quickly. So don't let the perfect property pass you by. Fill out the form now and you can still use the MLS search whenever you'd like, but you'll receive listings from the Home Finder Search whether you do or don't.

Selling a Home in Southwest Chicago Suburbs

Most real estate websites are geared toward buyers. But the Chicago Suburbs Real Estate website offers information to buyers and sellers.
  • There is a link for an Internet Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) that a seller can quickly fill out and get a CMA sent directly to their e-mail.
  • There is a link to an extremely informative step-by-step article on selling a home.
  • A link is provided to a real estate glossary.
  • One easy-to-read page with links to helpful websites for Chicago suburb home sellers
Some of the marketing tools utilized are mentioned to get your home sold. This is the only Chicago suburbs home sellers page on the website that can be accessed through the navigation menu. That is what keeps the site focused mainly on buyers and simple to use without bogging visitors down with so many links that a visitor just gets confused and leaves.

The goal of this website was to keep it simple, and offer buyers what they want; listings with photos and descriptions. Those same listings can also help sellers keep up with their competition and help them price their homes better.

The Best Virtual Tours


Buyers Want to See Lots of Pictures

Many times you'll see listings on the Internet with only one or zero pictures of the property. I've heard many buyers say they bypass those listings. They don't even bother reading to see if the house would be a match for them based on the description and room sizes. No photos - no interest.

If you're looking to sell your real estate in Chicago Suburbs and want to offer great photo slideshows and virtual tours then give Judy Orr a call at 708-536-8200.

Judy creates a full website just for your property! Here's an example of a New Lenox home that has sold and closed. This particular website has a talking salesperson but that is not a requirement. The sites offer unlimited photos, a virtual tour that automatically goes to Realtor.com and the website itself is added (without brokerage information) to the MLS and gets syndicated to all of the popular real estate portals. I don't know of any other agent in the southwest or near west suburbs offering this.

Revamped for Buyers

The website for Chicago Suburbs Real Estate has been revamped. It was always an easy site to navigate and use and offered what buyers want most - listings! But now it's even more buyer-centric and simpler than ever to find listings of Chicago Suburbs real estate.

Search All Active Listings in the MLS of Northern IL

If you'rmls searche really interested in purchasing a home you should just go straight to the MLS Search page. It only requires registration to see more photos and a more informative description (just your name and e-mail) but this is the only way for buyers to find every active listing available in Northern IL. If you're not having to register then you're not getting it all. Simple as that! You're under no obligation and your information isn't sold or shared so there's no reason to be afraid to sign up. Again, if you want all the active MLS listings this is the only way to get them on your own.

Don't Have Time to Search?

Personally, having to make searches and go back and continue every day seems like a chore to me. If you're getting serious about finding a new home (or condo, townhome, multi-family or whatever you're interested in buying), then get an Automated Home Search set up. All you do is fill out an easy form once and get ready to start checking your e-mail. Depending on your search criteria you might recieve new listings on a daily basis. Sure, it's fun to search and play around with the MLS but by relying on that alone won't be enough. You need to get automated.

If You Need a Little More Help

Maybe you're a first-time buyer and would like to learn more about buying real estate. Then click on the Home Buying page that offers a simple interface with everything you'll need such as a great Step-by-Step Home Buying Tutorial, a real estate glossary, mortgage info, free reports and more.

There's so much helpful and straightforward information that you'll definitely want to bookmark it but this site is so informative (only gives you the cream of the crop info) you'll definitely be coming back.

This is by far the best site for any buyer looking in the southwest Chicago suburbs area. There's more than listed above with updates to keep you informed and abreast with today's market.
