Community Information

For many years I have been selling property in DuPage, Kendall and Kane Counties. Where you live is important. I understand that. I pride myself on getting my clients the information they need to make the right decision.

I have lived in the area my whole life. If I can't answer a question you have, I will find you someone who is qualified to answer. I cover parts of DuPage, Kendall and Kane counties including Naperville, Aurora, Oswego, Yorkville, Geneva, Montgomery and surrounding areas. I also belong to a network of top quality agents who cover different parts of the Chicago and will be glad to personally introduce you to these excellent agents in different areas if you need them.

If you have questions about any community feel free to call me  at 630-258-5805 or email me.

The four main questions people ask me
and where to find the answers:

 


1.  Where do I find out about all the different communities?

There are so many towns and villages in the Chicago area it can be hard to know where to start. Probably the easiest place to get started is Quick Directory which has links to almost every community in the Chicago area and to each community's web site. The Comprehensive Guide is the best information about the whole area I have ever come across. At the bottom of the page you will find links to the communities that I handle frequently. At the bottom of the page you will find links to the community websites of towns where I frequently handle real estate transactions and the newest listings updated daily.

The Chicago area has an excellent mix of commuter railroads, bus service, highways and two major airports.

METRA Train Service- Commuter railroad service throughout the Chicagoland area and as far west as Aurora. Schedules, routes and more

Pace Bus-Local bus service throughout the area

Airports- Information about both Chicago's major airports 

IDOT (Illinois Department of Transportation)- Roads, highways and toll roads throughout the Chicago area and the state 

3.  How do prices in the Chicago area compare with the rest of the country?

No two communities are exactly alike however there can be enough similarities to make some rough comparisons. Coldwell Banker offers a tool to compare home prices across the country. This can be a great starting place if it is used correctly. Try it and see what you think. I will be glad to help you pick out towns that are similar.

4.  Where do I find more information?

This section has links to the counties I service which contain a wealth of information and more links. I also have links to the state of Illinois and the Department of Natural Resources which governs Illinois State Parks. There is also a link to check on whether a community charges a tax on the sale of real estate, if so who pays it and whether a community requires inspections. (The state of Illinois and local counties tax the sale of real estate but not every community has a tax.) Finally you will find links to the community websites of towns where I frequently handle real estate transactions.Naperville Covered Bridge and Dandelion Fountain
