Buying from a distance
Ingrid can preview homes for you, host live video tours and send detailed notes about condition, noise, lot orientation and surroundings. Illinois closings can often be coordinated with remote signing arrangements through your attorney and title company.
Ask about buying and selling at the same time if you also need to sell your current home.
