  • Why Is Stan Different

    Regardless of who the agent is and how close the Realtors office is to your home, every agent will do the same 3 basic steps when marketing and listing your home. The agent will enter your home in the MLS, notify all agents in their office that your home is available, and have a for sale sign installed in your yard. What makes me different is that I will provide you with more than just these 3 steps. These 3 steps are typical of most agents and the part time Realtor. But I will provide you with superior service. Click Here for an overview, and keep reading.

    Initial Contact with Stan

    Generally, I schedule 2 appointments to meet with you. The first visit is a fact finding visit as well as an opportunity for us to meet. I will gather information about your home in order to better understand it’s potential value. I will also determine your needs from the sale. You will have the opportunity to meet with me and for us to get better acquainted. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have. This initial fact finding visit begins with a few questions that I will ask you over the telephone. You will be asked questions regarding your home. These include:
  • How long have you lived in your current home
  • What type of Major Capital Improvements have you made to your home
  • What is your Lot Size or Acreage Size
  • What is the Age of your home
  • Number of Bedrooms and Bathrooms in your home
  • If you have a Garage, how large is it
  • Do you have a Basement and if so, is it finished
  • Do you have a certain time frame in which you would like to sell your home by
  • What is your reason for selling
  • Will you be purchasing a replacement home


  • These questions are necessary, because they will assist me in determining not only your homes value, but your needs.
    Return to menu

    Gather The Following Information

    At our initial telephone consultation, you will be asked to gather certain pieces of information. Please have ready the following information:
  • Copy of your Homes Plat of Survey
  • Recent Mortgage Statement to determine your full payoff amount
  • Equity Loans: recent statement to determine payoff amount
  • Most Current Property Tax Bill
  • Checklist of Any Questions that you may have
  • List of all Major Improvements/Capital Improvements, Including cost of improvements
  • Any other pertinent Information


  • Please note that all information given to me will remain confidential. The reason that I will need your mortgage information and equity loan payoff amounts are to calculate your Seller Net Proceeds Sheet. Another words, I will calculate for you what you will make after all expenses are paid. In order for me to calculate this amount, all this information will be necessary. You are not obligated to provide this information, nor is it necessary in order to sell your home. Please do keep in mind, however; that property taxes are public knowledge, as well as sales price history of a home. This information is simple to obtain, since it is public record.

    CMA, The Complete Market Analysis and Appraisal

    Upon my first visit to your home, I will conduct a thorough research to determine your homes fair market value. You will be asked numerous questions, some of which were mentioned earlier. Together, We will walk through your home and gather information which will be used to accurately price your home. Keep in mind that irrespective of what my report states or produces, you have final say over what the asking price will be. After all, “You Are the Boss”. This initial visit will take about 1 hour. Once I obtain the information and facts I need, I will take a day or two to research your home against Comparable Comp Properties found in the sales archives of the MLS (Multiple Listing Service). It is this Internet service site (Available to Licensed Real Estate Agents) that will provide me with the largest resource to accurately determine the market value of your home. Your home will be compared to others. Items to be compared will include the following; Subdivision Sales History, Your Specific Towns Real Estate Value/Sales History, Comparing your Home to Similar Types of Models or Style of Homes, Lot Size, Potential Land Value, Square Footage of your Home, Number of Bedrooms, Total Rooms and Bathrooms, Garage Capacity, Basement type, Age of your home, Sales History of Homes on your block, as well as Surrounding Area Comparison reports, And Much Much More. Once the CMA is complete, I will contact you and schedule a visit to go over the facts and prepare your home for the market place. All necessary paperwork will be completed at the next visit.
    Return to menu

    Prepare Your Home For The Second Visit

    As the seller, you will need to complete the following items in preparation for my second visit. These items will be explained to you in more detail before my visit.

  • If you have pets, Will they be caged or away during showings.
  • Have a list of any additional questions you may have for me.

  • Return to menu

    Final Meeting, Securing Legal Documents

    At this visit, which will take from 1-2 hours, I will explain to you in great deal all the analysis and research that was conducted to determine the value of your home. I will also leave you an extensive copy of the CMA reports for your records. At this time we determine what you think is a Fair Asking Price. We will also discuss important topics, including;
  • Explanation of Real Estate Commissions and how they are broken down and shared among other Agents
  • Discuss the Net Proceeds Sheet, What you will receive after all expenses are paid.
  • Do you have an Attorney ?
  • How I will Market your Home to Ensure a Sale
  • Explanation of the types of Progress Reports You will receive.
  • What will happen when Agents show your home
  • A Discussion on Contracts and Offers
  • My Goals and Objectives in meeting your needs
  • What happens after the closing/sale
  • Much, Much, More

    Once our visit is concluded. I will process the paperwork and enter your home in the Multiple Listing Service of Northern Illinois(MLS). Within 24-72 Hours of this visit, you will have a Yard Sign, SUPRA Lock Box on the front door and your home will be Ready to be visited by Perspective Buyers. The SUPRA Lock Box will contain the key to gain entry to your home. Only a Licensed Realtor will have a Key pad that allows excess into this lock box. The lock box is only active during certain working hours. It Generally allows entry between the hours of 8 Am. and 10 p.m. daily. It will also record the history of all Agents entering the home or activity in the Lock Box. If at any time you want a printout of all those accessing the SUPRA Lock Box, simply contact me and I will provide you with a detailed report.

    Sellers Homework And Responsibilities

    During the time that your home is marketed for sale, there are several things you must remember. Keep in mind that there will be many people in and out of your home. Even though they will be accompanied by a Licensed Real Estate Agent, they are strangers none the less. With this in mind it is suggested that you put away and hide items of value as; expensive jewelry, collectibles, money and other items that may be fragile (break easily as figures or porcelain treasures) or valuable.
    Most important is the way your home “Shows” or is presented to Potential Buyer’s
    Return to menu

    Home Enhancement For “The Showing”

  • FIRST IMPRESSION: Very often a Buyer will make his or her First Impression of your Home within a few moments of entering. Because of this, First Impressions are critical and important. I am not asking you to hire an interior decorator. But step outside of your home for one moment, then walk right in. What is your first impression ? I will help you with minor suggestions, decorating changes or simply ask you to keep things as they are !
  • THE EXTERIOR OF THE HOME: Often called “Curb Appeal”, it is important to consider the way your home looks from the outside. After all, if a Buyer does not like the home on the outside, chances are they won’t go in. Keep in mind that a picture of your home will be taken for the MLS and All Advertising. Take the time to walk around your home and remove any litter, debris or weeds. You may wish to make minor landscaping adjustments as planting a few colorful or bright flowers to catch ones eye (during season) or simply mow your lawn ever 5 days instead of 7. You may wish to take the time to sweep or hose down your sidewalk, freshly paint your fence or even your mailbox. If your driveway is stained or cracked you may want to consider having it resealed. Trim your shrubs and bushes. Any cracked windows may need to be replaced. Your doorway should be a focal point, replace house numbers or an old door knob if necessary. All these little items add up to the grand overall impression of your home. Also pay particular attention to the season. If it is Fall then make sure your yard is raked. You can even lightly decorate the entry of your home to suit the Holiday or Season. But don’t over do your yard or entry. Excessive Halloween or Christmas decorations may seem like clutter and a distraction to a Prospective Buyer.
  • TRY TO ATTRACT THEIR SENSES: Color, Sight, Sound and Smell are All Equally Important. A Basic rule of selling your home is to Keep the Colors Neutral and Light. White, Beige, and Gray are the most Popular Exterior Colors. White, Off-White and Light Pastels are considered Safe or Common Indoor Colors. Try and Avoid Patterned Wallpaper. Wallpaper patterns are an Individual Taste. Because of this, you may limit the number of buyers that may be interested. Each day, when you leave your home, remember to leave the radio on to light music. You may want to clean your kitchen with a lemon oil or wax to create a lasting scent of freshness. If using incense, make sure that it is a common aroma and not pungent or causes the eye irritation.
  • THE HEART IS THE KITCHEN: Your Kitchen can have a tremendous impact on the potential sale of your home. Make sure that the kitchen is exceptionally clean and smells fresh. You can spruce up cabinets by replacing all the knobs. Or, simply clean the exterior. Buyers have a tendency to open and close cabinets and doors, because of this you may want to consider re-organizing the contents. Try not to leave many small appliances on top of countertops. This will allow your kitchen to seem less cluttered and more spacious. Wipe down the outside of all your major appliances. Especially if they are Black on Black color or made of Stainless Steel.
  • THE BATHROOM: Today, most people look for Full Spacious Baths. To help you attain this look, consider removing any clutter from sink tops or extra decor. Consider replacing any old seat covers. You may Freshen the room with potpourri or light air freshness products. Make sure the shower doors are shiny. Fix any leaking faucets. And shine that faucet. Lighter colors or brightened window treatments may enhance the room.
  • GENERAL MAKEOVER: You may want to go through the home and do a general cleaning. Make sure you pay particular care with windows, mirrors, fixing squeaky doors or draws, always make sure your bed is done, organize any closets or cupboards, never leave dirty dishes in the sink, check ceilings for spider webs. Vacuuming alone makes a tremendous difference. BEFORE YOU LEAVE: Consider leaving the radio on to soft background music, or leaving behind a nice fragrance or scent, always make sure the home is vacuumed, put away any items of value, leave any fans and lights on, leave blinds up to allow more light in, and finally, leave any information about your home on the kitchen table or in the entry way for buyers to pickup. Especially a Previews Booklet.

    Preview Booklet And Agent Fliers

    Promotion is Everything. Your home will be professionally marketed to find the right buyer. The first thing I will do is create a previews booklet for your home. These booklets are important because often times a buyer will preview several homes a day. It will be difficult for them to remember all the homes that they visited. By giving them a Custom And Specially Previews Booklet, they will remember your home and be able to compare it to other homes. Many Agents do not take the time to create a Previews Booklet. I will also prepare Fliers to distribute weekly to hundreds of Real Estate Agents in Offices in your Surrounding Area And Others. Agents will receive a flier detailing your home. I personally stop by and visit numerous offices on a weekly basis and distribute fliers on all my listings. Few agents take the time to do this. I continue the flier distribution until your home is Sold.

    Finding The Right Buyer For Your Home

    Again, my goal is to Market the home in order to find a Qualified Buyer. Another Agent will actually Sell your home. As many buyers will preview your home, it will be my priority to make sure that they are Qualified Buyers. A Qualified Buyer is one that has a true mortgage commitment. A Pre qualification is not a full mortgage approval, but rather an estimate of what one can afford. But A Pre Approval is stronger. I will do my best to provide you with Pre Approved Buyers.
    Return to menu

    Open Houses And Agent Showings

    At your discretion, I can conduct an open house at least once every two weeks until your home is sold. Open houses often times attract neighbors and curious “drive-by's”. But occasionally, they do attract that buyer.
    Return to menu

    Progress Reports

    I am committed in providing my Clients with Five Star Service. I challenge you to find another Agent that offers weekly Progress Reports. Even Immediate progress reports if you call me. You will receive various progress reports on a weekly basis. These reports are essential in keeping you up to date on showing history and market trends in your area. Common reports I send will include:
  • Showing History Reports: Showing you who visited your home and When

  • Return to menu

    Presentation Of Offers

    Once a Buyer is interested in purchasing your home, the Buyer’s Agent will contact me. I will provide them with instructions on where to deliver the Offer or Contract. This is often done by Facsimile. I will attempt to ascertain some initial information regarding the Contract. Once I receive a Full Valid Contract, I will contact the Agent with any questions I may have. Once I fully understand the Offer and clear any errors or questions I will notify you immediately. At that time I will go over the Contract with you in great detail over the phone. Generally, I will meet you in person and go over a contract when we are accepting a Contract as Final. At this point it will be necessary to meet in person because It is preferred to obtain original signatures. While going over the contract I will take notes of all your likes and dislikes. For example, The buyer would like to keep the Washer/Dryer, but you did not originally list it as part of the sale. The buyer also is offering $ 205,000. When you listed your home for $250,000. I will give you my opinions and advise you on concerns and potential issues the Buyer may have. But you ultimately make any final decision. Keep in mind that we are Agents and not Attorneys. We cannot provide you with legal advise. If you do not accept the contract as written, then the next step is to make a Counteroffer. By making a counteroffer, you are basically Voiding the First Contract and Creating a New Offer or Contract.
    Return to menu

    Counteroffers And Procedures

    Counteroffers are commonly conducted over the telephone. The reason is quite simple, if we go back and forth with constant changes on the Original Contract, it will eventually be an Indecipherable Mess. I will contact the Buyer’s Agent and go over our changes or alterations to their Offer. At this point the Agent will notify his Buyer and then contact me again with Acceptance of the new terms or with a New Counteroffer. This will continue on for several hours or even days. But once both side reach a mutual agreement. Any changes will be made on the Original Offer and I will make arrangements to meet with you to go over the Contract one final time and to Obtain All Signatures of All Sellers. At this point we have a Valid Legally Binding Contract. As Real Estate Agents, we can no longer change any portion of this contract. It will be forwarded to your Attorney and the Buyer will do the same. The Attorneys will take over from this point. They can negotiate, re-negotiate or try to change any part of this contract (For Example; Negotiate a new closing date, or request a Mortgage Contingency Deadline Extension....)But they cannot change the Excepted and agreed upon Price. This is very important to remember. For your safety and protection your Attorney will review the Contract. S/he will even examine it for omissions, as even agents are not infallible. But you will need to consult your attorney once a contract is Accepted and signed by both sides.
    Return to menu

    Accepting An Offer

    Once you the seller sign, and the Buyer signs the Final Contract, we have a Valid Legally Binding Contract, Your selected Attorney will represent you and guide you from this moment forward. It is his or her responsibility to review the contract and prepare you for the closing
    Return to menu

    Attorney Review

    Fact: the respective attorneys for the parties may approve, disapprove or make modifications to the contract, other than stated purchase price, within 5 business days after the date of acceptance. Must be in writing. If within 10 business days after date of acceptance written agreement on proposed modification(s) cannot be reached by the Parties, Contract is null and void.
    Return to menu

    Contract Facts

    Click Contract Facts for a brief overview of contract facts and details. Please note that not all of these items may be covered here or apply to your situation. These are however the most common components of the contract which are valid.
    Return to menu

    Sales Pending, What's Next? ?

    At this Junction you will be consulting with your attorney. Once your attorney reviews the contract s/he will notify you with any concerns or comments. Please continue to have your home available for showings until the expiration of the 5 day Attorney Approval and Home Inspection. It is these 5 days that are critical to a Contacts survival. An attorney can Void a contract for any Valid reason during this period. Not just your attorney, but the Buyers attorney as well.
    Return to menu

    Monitoring All Activity And Progress

    During this process and even past the closing, my duty is to Monitor and Observe all activity. This is done in order to ensure a smooth transition. I will constantly be in touch with You, Your Attorney, the Buyers Agent, Buyer’s Attorney, Home Inspectors, Loan Officer or Broker, Closing Coordinator and many others, to ensure a smooth Closing.
    Return to menu

    Home Inspection

    Once a Buyer orders an Inspection date, I will be contacted by the Inspector and schedule a time that is accommodating to both you and the Inspector. The main purpose of the inspection is to search for major defects that need to be repaired or addressed. Fact :The Buyer may at own expense, conduct a home, radon, lead-based paint and/or wood insect infestation inspection(s). Buyer shall serve written notice upon Seller or Sellers attorney of any defects disclosed by the inspection(s) which are unacceptable to the Buyer, with a copy within 5 business days. (10 for lead based paint). If within 10 days after date of acceptance written agreement cannot be reached by parties w/respect to resolution of inspection issues, either party may terminate the contract by written notice. The Buyer has 5 Business days from the time the contract has been accepted in order to conduct a home Inspection. Your Attorney should contact you with the results of the home inspection. The Buyer may still conduct a Home Inspection after this time, However; s/he may not be able to use its findings as a way to Void the Contract.
    Return to menu

    The Waiting Begins

    After all inspections are done and attorney reviews have been completed, we wait ! We wait for the closing. Your attorney should contact you several days or even weeks prior with the location and time of your closing. Until that Time, I will continue to monitor the Buyers Loan Process. Generally at this point, the only way the contract would fall apart is if the Buyer did not receive financing. The contract stipulates this. Fact: Contract is contingent upon Buyer obtaining an unconditional mortgage commitment by the date specified. Buyer shall make written application within 7 calendar days after the Date of acceptance. Failure to do so shall constitute an act of default under the Contract. If Buyer having applied for the loan specified, is unable to obtain a loan commitment and serves written notice to Seller within the time specified, the Contract shall be null and void and earnest money refunded to Buyer upon written direction of the Parties to Escrowee.
    Return to menu

    The Buyers Final Walk Thru

    Several days prior to closing, the Buyer’s Agent will contact me and schedule a Final Walk thru. This is conducted to ensure that the property is in the same condition as it was when it was agreed to purchase. Fact: Buyer shall have the right to inspect the Real Estate, fixtures, and personal property within 72 hours prior to closing to verify that all is in substantially the same condition as of the date of acceptance. If there are any issues at this point, the Attorneys will contact each other and then your attorney will notify you of the results. You may even try to request a copy of this report from your attorney. If, for Example, there is a leak in the basement and the carpet is stained, you may be asked to either clean/replace it or allow a credit (reduction of purchase price) to satisfy the buyer. If a credit will not be issued, the buyer may again schedule a Second Final walk thru to ensure that it was fixed to their satisfaction. Closing dates may be postponed if things are not to the satisfaction of a Buyer. This is more common than you might think.
    Return to menu

    The Long Awaited Closing

    Unlike many Agents, I do my best to attend each and every closing. Your Attorney should contact you far in advance of your closing date. Once I obtain the closing information, I to will contact you with the information. You will also receive a Closing Information Letter from me with the closing details. Your attorney will notify you of anything you need to bring to closing. The closing generally will take place at a time and location previously agreed upon by both Attorneys. The Closing will be conducted by a Title Company. Their duty is to act as a type of Coordinator for proper distribution of all funds. They will ensure that funds are distributed according to Agreement. For Example, they will make out all the checks and pay the Attorneys their fees, the Real Estate Agents their Commissions, The State their Tax, The Bank the Credit Report Fees, etc......... Closings can take 45 minutes to All Day. Sometimes they run into a second day. There may be a few obstacles that occur at a closing. Please be prepared so that you are not worried or stressed out. A common problem is that Banks may wait till the last minute to disburse the funds to the Title Company. If the bank does not disperse the proper funds to the proper escrow account, this to can slow down the closing. I have been in a situation where a bank sent the funds to the wrong Escrow account. As a result, the closing was postponed a day to correct the problem. If the Title company does not receive the funds, then a closing Without the funds cannot take place.

    Helping You After The sale

    Once the closing is complete my services still continue. Should you ever need anything, please do not hesitate to contact me. If you are looking for a replacement home, I will now help you find your new home. Visit Buyer Services for complete details. Often times if you are Selling your home and Buying another, the closings are set up on the same day or a few days apart.
