Seller Tips from Our Experts

Spring (April–June) is traditionally the strongest seller's market in Chicago, with the most buyers active. However, well-priced homes sell year-round.

Seller costs typically include agent commissions (5–6%), attorney fees ($500–$1,500), transfer taxes, and any negotiated closing credits. We'll give you a full net sheet upfront.

It depends. Minor updates like fresh paint, landscaping, and kitchen hardware have strong ROI. Major renovations rarely pay back dollar-for-dollar — we can advise what's worth doing.

A CMA is a detailed report comparing your home to recently sold, active, and expired listings nearby. We provide a free CMA to every seller as part of our consultation.

In Chicago's current market, well-priced homes sell in 2–4 weeks. Overpriced homes can sit for months and ultimately sell for less. Pricing right from day one is critical.
