Data-driven, people-first

Looking out for his clients

He will tell you what is wrong with the house. “I act like an underqualified inspector,” is how Nick puts it. Anyone can point out the granite and the stainless steel. He is also looking at the outlets, the panel and the grading, and telling you which of those is a today problem and which is a five-year problem, before you write an offer.

The comps keep you from overpaying. The walk-through keeps you from buying the wrong house.

About Nick

What is your home worth

A free evaluation, from closed sales rather than an algorithm.

An online estimate cannot see that your kitchen was redone or that the house backs onto a road. Nick pulls what actually closed near you, shows you the comps behind the number, and tells you whether this season or next is the better one to list.

Free home evaluation

No cost, no obligation. Prefer to talk? Call (815) 258-1471.

For buyers: start with step zero

What can you actually afford?

Income, debts, down payment. Three numbers in, a price range and a monthly payment out, using the same 28/36 standard a lender starts from. Two minutes, before you fall for a house.
