the true choiceWith expertise grounded in experience and an intuitive knowledge of the Chicago real estate market, Tom separates himself from other brokers. Witness this differentiation in annual top echelon awards Tom has received since 2002 from the Chicago Association of Realtors.

More important, though, are his relationships with his many clients which are rooted in deep, substantial and lasting trust.




For 10 years Tom has met his clients in one of three ways: open houses, referrals and onlineAnd no matter how they have met the one trait unifying all of Tom’s clients is they trust him with their biggest economic decisions. Why this faith in Tom? Because he’s smart and he will give you blunt advice based on unparalleled market knowledge. There’s simply no one better at helping you deal with the contours of today’s real estate market.And when it is time to negotiate, you will get the soundest and most advantageous deals possible.Bottom line, when it is time to buy or sell in Chicago or the North Shore, it’s time for Tom.

the smart choice




first step, photographsPictures comprise a most important part of what we do and how we do it.

Why? Eight in ten consumers commence and continue their home searches online. It stands to reason that we be online with pictures that tell a compelling story of your home. We work exclusively with VHT for professional photographs.

And that is exactly what we do.




pictures/syndicationWith photos in hand we commence aggressive marketing. We use traditional print marketing and make great and effective use of online marketing to aim high (and score) on google.

For instance, the search term “chicago east village home for sale” scores multiple google page one placements!




syndication?For starters there’s our preferred status at realtor.com and tribune.com, the two sites most visited by online lookers in Chicago. Among other sites are postlets and craigslist.

These components add up to the visibility of your home to the online consumer.

what’s more...Your home appears online at every participating brokerage’s website.

Of course this includes atproperties.com and every place else you can imagine that serves the Chicago real estate market (like zillow and trulia, redfin, movoto and estately).

and then your websiteAs important as syndicating the listing is presenting it in its own website.

Specific to the property, with attractive photographs, compelling and descriptive text and fully search optimized, the website is cross-referenced in all online and print marketing.

geo-tagged pixAnother important use of photographs are geo-tagging online Picasa and Flickr albums.
