Who you work with. You work with Lyn and Bob directly, from the first conversation through closing.
Buying. Lyn knows the local market, and her relationships with other North Shore agents help her buyers find homes, sometimes before they come to market. A lot of our buyers are buying their first home. Our buying page has more.
Selling. We price from recent sales and the homes you'd compete with today, and we'll tell you plainly what's worth doing before you list. For how we price and sell, and our recent numbers, see Who Should I Hire to Sell My Home on Chicago's North Shore?
Weekly market data. Our North Shore market update comes out every Tuesday for Highland Park, Deerfield, Northbrook, Glencoe and Lake Forest, and covers Winnetka, Wilmette, Buffalo Grove and Glenview once or twice a month. For this week's numbers, see our weekly market update.
