I have lived in Lake County, Illinois for a majority of my adult life. 20+ years, but who's counting.
I have been a real estate professional for going on 9 years. Before that, I was a personal investor. At the height of my investment portfolio I had 8 rental properties, my own personal residence, two jobs and at that time I was a single mom. Because of that fact, I only make straightforward, direct and true statements. I can't promise that you will always like what I have to say, but I can promise you, it will be the truth.
They say that inexperience is expensive, But honesty is PRICELESS!
I am well versed in Short sales, foreclosures, pre-foreclosures, deed in lieu, land contracts or rent to own, investment properties and investment strategies using real estate (rental properties), HUD properties, Auctions, land sales, Custom Home sales and NEW CONSTRUCTION, first time homebuyers, upsizing, downsizing, military families, mutli-cultural families, multi-generational families and divorcing or divorced families.
My proven Listing Strategy Consultation allows me the luxury to take on only properties that I know I can sell.
My Proven Buyers Strategy Consultation allows me the luxury to focus on EXACTLY what my clients NEEDS vs WANTS are.
MY GUARANTEED 30-Day Marketing Plan allows me to show my clients BEFORE they list with me, how I will be working on their behalf DAILY, giving them a precise expectation of what to expect and when.
My 24 hour cancellation policy allows peace of mind not only for myself, but for my clients as well. Allowing them to cancel their listing with me at anytime, given appropriate cancellation documentation is in order, with no questions asked.
This gives me the opportunity to FIRE my clients, just as easily as they can fire me.
I am a tough negotiator, I will negotiate the best sales price for either my buyer or my seller.
If you ask my family, they will tell you that I am a born fighter.
If you ask my friends, they will tell you that I am a hard worker!
If you ask my clients, they will tell you that I am warm and personable. That I listen, and find solutions to their situations.
If you ask me whether I'm Successful or not...I will say, I'm only as successful as my last transaction. Because I know that without my satisfied client, my business would NOT BE!
"Rarely is it that I meet another professional that so impresses me with their attitude towards their clients that I have to tell everyone I know.
Recently I had the pleasure of meeting with Lisa Schade, a Real Estate Consultant of Keller Williams Success Realty.

"Lisa is a true Professional! Courteous and Polite! But a strong negotiator! She knows how to get Top Dollar for a listing, but she ALSO knows how to get bottom dollar for a sale. She's not afraid to fight on behalf of her clients. "If you have Lisa on YOUR side, You'll LOVE her! If you don't, I feel sorry for YOU!""

"Lisa is a Professional agent who has also become a great Friend! When I had trouble with my listing, she gave me adivce, but she also helped me to come to solutions that were acceptable to me."

Hi Bill-
Thank you for your question.
This property is in fact in Lis Pendens state, it is considered the initial stages of the foreclosure process. The neighborhood is that of Newly constructed homes and the price range anywhere from 400K ( homes that have not been rebuilt) to upwards of 3.5M ( the newly constructed home sites).
Please feel free to contact me directly should you wish any further information. - Thu Nov 20 2008, 07:56
Oh My Goodness!

Yes, The buyer has the right, at any time to fire his current agent. And find themselves a new one, that will work on their behalf.
Please keep in mind, that we are all independent contractors, and we all practice business differently. Some more systematized than others.
However, if the original agent has done their job, kept in touch and showed the property, whether you like them or not, it will be tough in an arbitration hearing to prove procurring cause for the second agent. To come in as a subsequent agent would be difficult, even if the original buyers agent was terminated in writing. Yes, you have more of a leg to stand on, but, is this house really worth an arbitration hearing? Is it worth going to "court" over. Just because you don't like your current agent, doesn't mean you won't get called in the arbitration hearing.
In my experience, if someone knows the law well enough to quote it, they know the law well enough to break it. Or come close. And if that's the way they practice, are they really looking out for Your best interest or theirs?
Please feel free to contact me directly, if you'd like to continue this conversation. - Sat Nov 8 2008, 14:22
Hi Joe-
Since you didn't sign any contract with them, if you haven't seen the property yet, you are free to find yourself a new agent, that will work in your best interest.
However, if you have seen the property, you owe them their commission.
Like it or not. As they have what is known as "procuring cause".
In the future, I suggest, that you find yourself an agent that you like, and one that will work in YOUR best interest. And, then, go look at properties.
Good Luck! - Fri Nov 7 2008, 10:47

But, I would love to help you find your new home! - Fri Nov 7 2008, 09:33
Hi Jean-
Your question depends on how much of a credit you are willing to negotiate.
Honestly, you can have the floors corrected, cheaper than offering a credit. But, if you don't have the time to correct the floors, expect really low offers!
Please feel free to contact me directly, if you'd like to discuss this further. - Thu Nov 6 2008, 10:23
