My family and I have been residents of the Northwest Chicago suburbs since 2002 and we have lived in Arlington Heights since 2012. My pre-real estate background in Engineering, Process Improvement, and Quality Control taught me the importance of monitoring and continuously improving complex processes to insure a delightful result for customers. Today I am a full-time Real Estate Agent and my passion is applying my experience to help sellers and buyers achieve their real estate goals. Here is a summary of what I will do for you as your real estate agent: For Sellers: • Estimate your home’s market value and recommend a list price by reviewing current and recent market activity for similar homes in your area. • Estimate the net proceeds you will realize from the sale of your home. • Provide advice on staging your home for the market to maximize appeal and value. • Develop and execute a detailed customized marketing plan to achieve excellent market exposure for your home. • Work with buyer’s agents to schedule showings, obtain feedback, and receive and process buyers’ offers to purchase. • Negotiate offers to purchase on your behalf to achieve a “meeting of the minds” and a sales contract. • Insure the timely delivery of earnest money from the buyer. • Work with your attorney to assess and negotiate any requests for repairs or credit arising from the home inspection. • Work with the real estate appraiser, if applicable, to justify the sales price in the contract. • Recommend a title company. Work with the title company to track the title work for your home. • Monitor the progress of the buyer’s mortgage approval. • Attend the closing meeting to represent your interests at the finish line. For Buyers: • Discuss financing with you and, if you will be getting a mortgage loan, recommend a lender for you to work with to achieve mortgage pre-approval. • Establish your criteria for your new home - the price range, the type of property you are seeking, the location, and the features you prefer. • Set up a property search to identify homes for sale that meet your criteria. • Schedule showing appointments and accompany you to tour homes of interest. • Write an offer for your top choice home, utilizing market analysis to determine the offered sales price. • Negotiate with the seller’s agent to come to a “meeting of the minds” and a sales contract. • Recommend licensed home inspectors who can thoroughly and professionally inspect the home for defects. • Coordinate scheduling of and attend the home inspection. • Discuss requesting repair of or credit for defects from the seller. Work with your attorney to make the request to the seller. • Work with your lender to monitor the status of your mortgage, if applicable. • Schedule and attend a final walkthrough of the home just prior to the closing meeting to verify any defect repairs are done and to verify the current condition of the home. • Attend the closing meeting to represent your interests at the finish line.

Lane was an excellent realtor for selling my house. He helped me prep my house and get it ready to post for sale. Once it was posted Lane communicated very well with the showings. Once we had a contract in place Lane walked me through everything and helped the process go as smoothly as possible.
Lane was absolutely amazing. We are first time home buyers and the entire process was new to us. He made it effortless. He put together an amazing team from the lender’s broker to the attorney; everyone he brought to help us was amazing. He was there for us for every step of the way and even went out of his way whenever we came across an issue with the seller. We couldn’t be more gra...
Lane was very professional, efficient & caring throuhout the whole process of getting my aunts condo sold. Easy to reach & was very accommodating to keeping me informed as well. Glad he handled the job and cant recommend him enough.

Lane helped me through my ordeal of selling my condo. The condo was not my residence, but I decided that it was time to put it on the market as I no longer needed an additional property. Lane held my hand throughout the ordeal. I can be a pain in the backside, but thanks to Lane for putting up with me. He coordinated many repairs on the condo prior to the sale and also interacted directl...

Lane was a pleasure to have as my real estate agent to rent out my townhouse.
