"My wife and I really didn’t know where to begin "
"My wife and I really didn’t know where to begin our search for a home in Naperville… So many different neighborhoods, so many different homes. We came across Jay Shepherd’s site online, and were immediately drawn in by the clarity and usability of his online tools. We used Jay’s site to filter down to a few target homes, and Jay made himself available for home showings in very short order. To our delight, Jay exceeded our expectations when we met him in person. He was extremely knowledgeable about houses and neighborhoods, but really down to earth and above all, very genuine. He wasn’t pushy, and if anything, he was more apt to point out potential troubles with homes we toured than boast insincerely about their positive features. We decided on the spot that we’d hire Jay to sell our current home as well.
Jay and his team did a top-shelf job photographing and marketing our home. The online listing was excellent, and the print materials were frankly the best we’ve ever seen. I could go on about Jay’s effectiveness on the sell-side, but nothing beats this fact: Our home sold in 3 days flat, at the price we’d wanted. I also feel it’s critical to note that this took place during a down market. Friends and Family were amazed that we’d sold our home so quickly and easily given the difficult “buyer’s market”. On the buy-side, Over the course of over 20 home tours, Jay’s expertise and work ethic proved invaluable. He helped educate us on various neighborhoods and home features, and we ultimately narrowed our search and zeroed in on an amazing home that we absolutely love. We’ve already begun recommending friends and family to Jay. If you’d like your current home sold quickly, and at the right price, then I’d heartily recommend Jay Shepherd. Likewise, if you’d like help finding a home that meets your needs and (importantly!) feels right… I’d also recommend Jay Shepherd."

Closing or Settlement >Final Arrangements
Some homebuyers approach the final days of the home sale transaction with great enthusiasm, feeling utterly confident that the end is in sight, and feeling completely organized about the move. They have accounted for every detail, contacting the moving company, arranging for the transfer of their telephone, electric, water, and gas accounts and having the home professionally cleaned. They start checking off the days until the closing on their calendar. But in reality, the closing may not be entirely predictable.
It is very useful for homebuyers (and sellers) to remember that closing dates are not set in stone. Lenders, appraisers, title attorneys, credit check services, and anyone else who is involved in the transactions can potentially cause a delay in the closing. If buyers keep this in mind while making arrangements, they can minimize the possible cost and inconveniences due to a delay.
As the closing approaches, the real estate agent will stay on top of the situation and keep in touch with everyone involved in the transaction to prevent any unnecessary delays.
