Ferrara"I did want to take a moment to thank you for all the help you provided in finding my new home in Chicago. It seems like only a few weeks ago that we were sitting at the closing, but in reality it's been a little over 8 months. Where does the time go? Each time I come home, I walk in and feel the same way I did when you first showed me the place back in January - I LOVE MY CONDO! I'm so glad Laura gave me your name, as I loved working with you. I think it was a great match!

You are thorough, honest, to the point, knowledgeable about the downtown area and you really know your market. I knew, after meeting you last September that I couldn't go wrong working with you and boy was I right. While it wasn't my intent to make an offer on our first day out together, you showed me exactly what I was looking for in a home I didn't need to look any further! I was a little stressed out about buying a home when I was still living in California, but you made my "cross country purchase" a breeze. Additionally, this wasn't the easiest deal to pull off, with the funky smell no one could find, the seller's attorney who was a little "wacko," and a difference in real estate law between CA and IL which almost cost us the deal. But you were professional, level headed, and at times put in a position where you had to talk me in off the ledge...thank you.

When the time comes, as it always does, that I feel I'm ready to move on to my next home in Chicago, I wouldn't even think about working with any other agent. You're my first phone call! You made buying a home in the city lots of fun and a wonderful experience."

Best Regards!
Tracey A. Ferrara 
Whelan"The reason for my selecting you as a broker is that I was impressed with how you represented the interests of the previous seller whom I purchased the property from. From this unique vantage, what impressed me was your insistence that I be a qualified buyer and your execution in ensuring every detail in my offer was 'nailed down.' I knew then that you surely had your seller's interest in mind."

Gerard F. Whelan
Williams"Thank you so much for your unbelievable help finding our new Chicago home. We would not have succeeded without your support, encouragement, knowledge of the area, unbelievable drive, and professionalism. You were outstanding and we could never thank you enough!"

Damon and Mary Chris Williams 
Moore"(We chose you) Because you are thorough, efficient and knowledgeable...You have true knowledge of the neighborhood, and I just love your all around go-getter attitude."

Shan and Robert Moore 
Carter"We appreciated your upfront attitude. It was important to us that you utilized the internet as part of your services. We really liked the team approach." 

Angela Carter 
Parenti"Karen and Lou are the home buyer's dream team. They want you to be happy, so they work toward that end. I can't say enough about how responsive, available, and considerate they were while working for us. All the horror stories I'd heard about home buying and the dreaded closing just did not happen for us. We had a very positive experience.We started out with an interview with Karen where she asked us many questions about lifestyle, locations, and the specific details we wanted in a property. Then she contacted us about only those properties that met our requirements. She never tried to "sell" us on a property or push us in any way. We only looked at those places we wanted to see.

When we did find the place we wanted, Lou negotiated for us in a sensitive situation with a renovator/seller acting as his own agent. Due to Lou's knowledge of building renovations and his expertise as a realtor, he was able to negotiate a new roof and glass block windows around the foundation at our offering price. Subsequently, we developed a good relationship with the seller, who was extremely helpful to us in the year following our purchase. Recently, two friends spoke to me about the possibility of buying, so I immediately sent them information on Karen and Lou. Because I applaud their mission and have experienced their work ethic, knowledge, and expertise, I recommend the Breen-Elia team enthusiastically and without reservation.

Please feel free to use the following unsolicited testimonial in your promotional materials. You and Lou served us well, and I know more people would have positive home-buying experiences by working with you."

Melanie Parenti 
Alter"I wanted to send my most heartfelt thanks to you and your team for all you have done for me over the past couple of months. With out you guys, I wouldn't have been able to escape my past and move on to the home of my dreams. You have done more than I would have or could have expected from a Realtor. You made the impossible's happen when even I had given up hope. I think of you not only as my Realtors but as my friends. I wanted you to know I would highly recommend you to any and all of my friends in the future and hope to do business again with you in the future."

Stephen Alter  
Ghalayini"You and your team did a great job of making yourselves available throughout the process, you were very patient and understanding, and you also provided valuable advice and input on our property and neighborhood selection."

Mazen Ghalayini
Marilyn G"... I love living in my new condo. I sat on the balcony last evening enjoying the nice cool lake breeze and wondered why I didn't do this long ago. Thank you for helping me get through the worries of becoming a new owner. You and Lou made everything run so smoothly; I couldn't have asked for a better team!"

Marilyn G.

Real Estate Tips
Selling Your Home >Finding A Buyer

Selling a home is one of the most complex transactions that people are ever involved in. Finding a buyer is often the easy part! When you find someone who wants your home and who has the money to buy it, it is still a long way to the closing table.

You must first negotiate a purchase contract that covers the price and all the terms of the agreement. How much of a deposit will the buyer put down? When and how will the transfer of title occur? Under what conditions can either the buyer or seller back out of the contract? A professional home inspection will inform all parties about the condition of the property.

Having a good agent to handle the details after a home inspection can make the difference between a successful transaction and a failure. The buyer must obtain financing, and the lender's appraiser will have to agree with the sale price. When clear title has been established, you can sign all the necessary papers to finalize the sale.
