Looking for a home?

You've come to the right place!

At 4 Sale Realty, Inc. we believe the future of real estate is here. Now that the Internet is so prevalent, almost everyone has access to a flood of information. Information that only Realtors were privileged to just a few years ago. (Remember the "old days" when it was almost forbidden to take the "books" out of the office?)(By the way, The Books are history now!)

So why do you need a Realtor?

• We know every aspect of the entire process from finding the right home to negotiating a great deal to correctly filling out the needed paperwork and all the other steps along the way to the closing.
• We know specifically which forms are needed and the correct way to fill them out.
• We help you negotiate a lower price!
• We search the vast inventory of homes so you don't have to spend your valuable time.
• Once the contract is signed, we monitor the mortgage company, the inspectors, and the title search companies. If each step isn't completed at the right time, your closing will be delayed! We see to it that everything runs smoothly.
• We make sure that all interested parties (lawyers etc.) get all the needed documents in a timely fashion.

Is the Realtor REALLY on my side?

The short answer is YES!

It is a common misconception. And, as of only a few years ago in Illinois, All Realtors actually worked for the seller. It was their duty to get the highest price for the seller. (That was called "sub-agency" and in most states it is still the way things are done.)

Now in the State of Illinois we have "Buyers Agency". By law, as a Realtor in Illinois, If a Realtor is working with a buyer; they MUST put the best interest of that buyer first. They owe a fiduciary duty to the buyer.

But, you say, The seller is paying the commission so you must work for the seller. NOT SO! The reason the law was created (and we firmly believe this) is: if it wasn't for the buyer, there would not be any money at the table to pay a commission with.

So, because of buyer agency, it is our privilege and obligation to try and negotiate the lowest possible selling price of a home for you. And, any confidential information that you give us MUST remain confidential even after our business relationship has terminated.

How our service works.

The first step is to figure out what your wish list for a house is. The more specific the list is, the better the results will be. Specifically we need to know the number of bedrooms and bathrooms. Do you want a garage or a basement? What towns, geographical areas, or parts of the city do you want us to start looking in?

That is just a partial list. Almost anything can be put on the list.

We will then put your wish list into the MLS computer. Every day we will be notified if anything new matches your search criteria. If something matches, we immediately tell you. You check out the outside and the neighborhood. If you like what you see, we schedule an inside tour. Assuming you like everything about the house, we will then work on an offer and start negotiating the deal. If you don't like it, no problem. We keep on looking. No hassle. No pressure. It's that easy.

Still have questions? Write us.

Email us with your questions or wish list. We will get back to you as close to immediately as possible. Usually, we answer all emails within minutes. Sometimes, it may take us up to a day.
