Hello, Is there anyone who knows a good realtor? We are looking to buy a house in the northwest suburbs and want someone who we could trust. Has anyone had any good experiences?

What can I do next?

My husband is a realtor and we live in Arlington Hts. He knows the NW suburbs very well. Our website is www.suburbanhousehunters.com! He specializes in working with buyers and is a great negotiator for his clients. There are so many agents out there, it can be a tough to choose the right one. You can talk to a few and find one that fits your personality best. Especially in this strong buyers market you want someone who knows their stuff! Best of luck!

I work for my husband, who is a real estate attorney in the northwest suburbs (Mount Prospect). I know many good realtors in the Northwest Suburbs, please let me know what town(s) you are focusing on and I can give you the name of an agent or two that specialize in that area. Especially with this changing market, it is so helpful to have an agent that is estremely familiar with the area you area looking in.

Best of luck house-neighborhood shopping.

Audrey did a great job listening to what we wanted.

We just bought our first house on the northwest side of the city. This realtor was absolutely amazing. And the mortgage broker and lawyer she hooked us up with were awesome. She works for ERA Caporale Realty her name is Aymee Scavone. She travels everywhere. Her number is ###-###-#### Ext. 233. They make a great team and really took care of everything. We almost felt useless. They made it happen so fast and painless. We were in the house in a month after we made our first offer on it. She didn't pressure us at all and knew quite a bit about the loan we were pre-approved for she knew which houses would qualify and which wouldn't. Made us feel right at ease. Her e-mail is also ____@____.com also did just about everything thru e-mail and faxes so we didn't have to worry about dragging our kid to all those boring meetings. Hope this helps.
