| Is the neighborhood nice? | |
| Select a community that will allow you
to best live your daily life. Many people choose communities based on
schools. Do you want access to shopping and public transportation? Is
access to local facilities like libraries and museums important to you? Or
do you prefer the peace and quiet of a rural community?
Once you think you have found a community you like, call us and we can introduce you to people who live there or we can tell you what we know about the area. More than anything, we want you to be comfortable with your new Chicago Illinois home... and that includes living in a neighborhood where you will feel comfortable. |

| What happens if I feel discriminated against. | |
| You should immediately contact the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) if you ever feel excluded from a neighborhood or a particular house. Also, contact HUD if you believe you are being discriminated against on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, nationality, familial status, or disability. | |

| How do I know how much a home is really worth? | |
| We can give you a solid range by looking at a number of homes that have recently sold in an area and compare them to those currently being sold to help you determine the average price for a specific community or neighborhood.

| What about property taxes? | |
| The total amount of the previous year's property taxes is usually included in the listing information that published in the local MLS. You can call us to obtain this information. If it's not listed, we can ask the seller for a tax receipt or contact the local assessor's office. Tax rates can change from year to year, so these figures maybe approximate. | |
| Are there any other tax issues? | |
| Mortgage interest and real estate taxes are deductible against your income. There are other tax benefits and liabilities as well. Call us and we will be more than happy to sit down with you and "crunch the numbers." | |
