The Golden Rule and Craig Easly
It may be old-fashioned, but I believe character still counts. The Golden Rule is how I do business. If that works for you, let’s get started! As an active Realtor with @properties I make a firm commitment to my clients to serve them to the best of my abilities and achieve their short and long term real estate goals. I will help you to either sell your home successfully or find the next property that fits your lifestyle. I am proud of my #1 ranking on Angie’s List and encourage anyone thinking of working with me to take a moment to read some client reviews. Within Chicago I work in the following neighborhoods: Lincoln Square, North Center, Roscoe Village, Lakeview, Irving Park, Wrigleyville, Southport Corridor, St. Bens, Lincoln Park, Wicker Park, Bucktown, Loop, South Loop, River North, Streeterville, Gold Coast, and the surrounding areas. In addition, if you are looking to relocate to the suburbs, I also serve the North Shore of Chicago, specifically the New Trier School District : Wilmette, Winnetka, Kenilworth and Glenview.
Listing Your Home or Investment Property
I provide a number of unique services to my clients, always keeping in mind the number one goal: Getting it sold for the best price in the best time frame. First, my consultation with you before listing your home is detailed, personalized, and informative. I believe it is essential that you understand your competition and therefore I provide you not only a CMA with detailed graphs but virtual showings of the comparable active homes on the market as well, so that you can be a savvy seller, aware of what you are up against and ready to stand a cut above. In addition to wide Internet and media exposure, I broadcast your listing via email promotion twice a month to over 3,500 agents so that your listing is never ‘out of sight, out of mind.’ My marketing materials as well as my level of service is of the highest quality and I look forward to working with you to sell your home.
Buying in Chicago
It is extremely rewarding helping clients build wealth through real estate. One of the first things you will receive from me is an up-to-the-minute analysis of whatever market you are exploring, ensuring you an informed decision. As an area native, and Chicago resident for over 20 years, I have lived in many of the most dynamic neighborhoods, from Wicker Park to Edgewater. As someone who loves where I live, I intimately understand the importance of finding a property that is not only a great investment but a place you look forward to come home to. This will always be my goal for you. I also listen to what is important to you and whether you’re focused on school districts or street fairs I look forward to helping you with your search.
Life in Chicago
With 10 years of experience in corporate software and technology sales, I started to get interested in real estate through my work as a volunteer docent for the Chicago Architecture Foundation, giving the world-famous River to Chicagoans and visitors. I continue to share my love for this city and it’s architecture with my clients and friends. I currently live in North Center with my two basset hounds, ‘Wilson’ and ‘Molly’.
Integrity & Professionalism
In addition to my reviews on Angie’s list, a trusted online referral network with over 90,000 Chicago members I invite you to delve further. I would expect anyone I hire for such an important role would be fully referenced--that's why I offer my entire client list to new clients in our first meeting. Rather than two or three cherry-picked references, I invite you to call anyone on the list and ask how their experience was with me.
