Testimonial 1
I needed someone to sell my house pretty fast. My wife and I already purchased a home in Manteno. I knew Pete from outside of Real Estate. Pete listed our home and we had a contract that we accepted in nine days. Our house was being lived in by the new owner within two months.

Testimonial 2
We met Pete in the fall of 2005. We were moving to Homewood from Arizona and needed a rental property until we were ready to buy a home. Pete found us the rental property. We lived in the rental for only a couple months and asked Pete to help find us a home. We moved into our home within three months.
It was a year later when we decided that we wanted to move back to Arizona. We asked Pete to help us sell our home. Pete listed our property and by the time we moved to Arizona two months later our home was under contract and that worry was off of our mind. Great job Pete.

Real Estate Tips
Homebuyers Should Hire an Inspector
Homebuyers are urged to conduct an inspection even if the home comes with a warranty. They should also ensure that their inspector has plenty of experience and abides by the membership requirements of the American Society of Home Inspectors or other trade groups.
Home Warranties Warrant Close Attention
Warranties can help make homebuyers more confident about the quality of their new dwellings.
Flaunt Your Home's Curb Appeal
When selling your home, curb appeal is essential, because it can create a first impression of your home.
Too Much Insurance is Better Than Not Enough
Research shows that 64 percent of the nation's homes were about 27 percent underinsured in 2003. But owners can ensure that they have adequate coverage by updating their policies to account for changes in replacement value.
