Hi, I’m Bill and I’m a Realtor. Or, more accurately, I’m an advisor, friend, confidant, therapist, chauffeur, tour guide, investor and rehabber, landlord, kitchen and bath design consultant, and most importantly, your trusted consultant.
I love real estate. Houses. Architecture. Neighborhoods. Oak Park and dozens of other local communities. Most importantly, I really love seeing people have a positive experience buying or selling their homes.
You won’t find a harder-working partner dedicated to your success. I give as much to an investor seeking at $35k condo as I do to a family upgrading to or selling a $1,000,000 home.
You can expect a full array of services with me, including: expert price analysis and recommendations; staging your home for a fast and high offer; placing ads in local papers; hosting weekend open houses; offering professional photography, online listings and custom brochures; and a full range of (other) resources Baird & Warner makes available.
Some key facts about me you should know:
My clients usually say their experience working with me is informative, fun and somewhat personal. I build strong relationships rooted in loyalty, fighting hard for my clients and being focused on their satisfaction.
Bill was the best realtor I’ve ever worked with
