Buying here, answered
Local questions Rich hears from buyers every week.
Do I need an attorney to buy a home in Illinois?
Most buyers in the Chicago area hire a real estate attorney. The standard contract here has an attorney review period after both sides sign, so your attorney can ask for changes before the deal is final. Rich can share attorneys his clients have used.
How much are property taxes in Oswego, Naperville and Aurora?
Taxes depend on the county, the township and the school district, and they change by home. Kendall County (Oswego), DuPage and Will (Naperville) and the four counties in Aurora all bill differently. Each listing on this site shows the last tax bill, and each City guide explains how to read it.
How do I know which school district a home is in?
Check the listing first: it shows the elementary, middle and high school. Then confirm with the district, since boundaries can change. Aurora is split among several districts, and Naperville homes may be in District 203 or 204.
What is the VIP Buyer Program?
It is Rich's set of perks for buyers: a home warranty, moving boxes, handyman help, early access to Coming Soon homes, an online buyer portal and the Love It or Leave It promise. Ask Rich for the full terms.
Can I see Coming Soon homes before they are on the MLS?
VIP Buyers get access to select Coming Soon and off market homes that Rich and his team know about. It does not cover every home, but it can mean less competition.
How fast do homes sell here?
It depends on price, season and the neighborhood. Well priced homes in popular subdivisions can go in days in spring. The market reports on each City page show the current days on market.
