As a real estate Broker serving the Northwest suburbs, I have assisted many individuals and families with their move to our exciting and vibrant Chicagoland. I’ve found that having an experienced pro that knows and loves the area takes away the stress and makes the moving process a pleasant and enlightening experience. You are sure to have questions about neighborhoods, schools, commute times, employment and more. Being able to turn to one person for answers is a big time-saver.

Let’s talk Chicago! The city of Chicago is the third largest in the U.S. and has the most central location in the country with a prime position on beautiful Lake Michigan. With a plethora of annual events, music venues, museums and public spaces, it’s easy to soak up these offerings. The metra rail service is a great way to visit the city, with the average travel time being roughly 75 minutes.

I specialize in serving the Schaumburg, Arlington Heights, Palatine and nearby northwest suburbs. With 36 years spent showing and selling hundreds of homes… I know park districts, community highlights, sports programs and many little known facts that can help you make the best home choice for your family.

Here are a few tips to keep in mind if you are considering moving to our fine Chicago:

• When house hunting, remember that the further away from Lake Michigan the cheaper housing becomes.
• Once you have found the property you will be moving into, get the ball rolling by ensuring that you move your family and pets safely. Don’t forget to insure your move.
• Remember to change your address for all correspondence and schedule cancellation and connection of utilities on time so to avoid paying an extra billing cycle or not having utilities on arrival to your new home.
• Travelling by car into the city of Chicago can be stressful and expensive. As in many cities there are rush hours and tolls can be expensive. There is a special pass for frequent toll users offering discounts. See www.illinoistollway.com for information.
• The public transportation in the area covers the city along with its surrounding suburbs and offers bus and rail systems. One can purchase various passes which offer discounted prices. Visit www.transitchicago.com  for information or metrarail.com for maps and schedules.
