If you are looking to buy or sell a home in Waukegan then it is important to have the right professionals on your team to execute the deal.

This is easily accessible from Waukegan and we are familiar with the Waukegan real estate market. If you are ready to proceed with your real estate transaction, then you will want to take the following steps:

1. Contact our real estate lawyers so that when a contract is in place we can promptly review it;

2. Retain a real estate broker to market your property (if you are selling) or to show you properties (if you are buying). If you don’t know any real estate brokers, do not worry, we work with many great real estate brokers who will be happy to assist you with your real estate transaction.

3. Obtain financing. If you are not paying in cash to buy a property, then you will want to speak with a mortgage loan officer to ensure that funds will be available to you to purchase a home. On the flip-side, if you are selling your home you will want to speak with your mortgage servicer to obtain payoff letters.
