Michael's Real Estate Market Update:

Trend: over supply of unsold inventory:
111,690 Active MLS Listings (May 1, 2008)

Michael's 2008 Predictions: 75% of all the properties that will be listed in 2008, will never sell this year - we simply are not going to have that many buyers.

Recommendations: List your property with a Reputable Broker (i.e. RE/MAX CITY) and a Top Producing Agent (i.e. Michael Sorensen) who can outsmart and outperform other sellers in your area, price your property right from the start and it will sell. LIST WITH ME - IF I CAN'T SELL IT - NOBODY WILL! (never happened before). 

However, if you owe more than the property could sell for in today's market but are forced to sell due to financial hardship - Call 773-987-8224 or click link below:

I Sell Everything. Everywhere.
I can list any property anywhere in Northern Illinois, however if your home is located away from my Chicago Norwood Park RE/MAX Office, you may want to consider one of the following:

1.) Place a key lock box (Supra) on your property, or
2.) Leave courtesy keys at a nearby real estate office in your neighborhood, or
3.) We schedule and you do the showings.

SELLERS.
My Risk-Free, Automatic Listing Cancellation Guarantee!
Entering into a listing agreement with a real estate agent can be a risky business. Every sales associate will promise you the world, but how many can back that up with a solid performance? Many listing agreements lock you into long term commitments and lengthy broker protection periods with heavy cancellation fees. In other words, it's an agreement protecting the broker, that your agent can get out of but you can't. With so many Realtors out there, how can you choose an agent who's right for you? That's why I'm offering you a way to list your home that is totally risk free. I believe you are the only one qualified to evaluate my performance. When you list your home with me, and are not completely satisfied with my service, I give you the right to cancel the listing at any time, with no penalty or obligation (provided that we have not already procured a buyer for your property) and you can list your home with any agent you like.

Your Home's Value
The correct market value of a home is the highest price estimate that a potential buyer might be willing to pay. To assist you in determining the correct asking price we provide you with a Comprehensive Market Analysis (CMA) of comparable properties recently sold and offered for sale in your neighborhood.
Pricing your home right from the beginning is critical. A home priced at a market value will attract more buyers and agents than a home priced above market value. Greater number of potential buyers will increase your chances for a higher sales price. Buyers and agents lose interest in properties that are priced too high. By pricing your property above it's market value, your home sits on the market and becomes "stale bread" and "old news", and you are only helping your neighbors sell their competitively priced homes. Consequently, in order to generate the interest back, the price will have to be reduced below the competition, and eventually may result in discounted below market sale. Don't lose the momentum! Remember, you can only make a first impression once.
20 Tips for Selling Your Home

Chicago FSBO - Illinois For Sale By Owner.
My Home Selling System & RE/MAX can bring your property in front of more prospective buyers than you can get on your own. Greater number of potential buyers will increase your chances for a higher sales price. Studies show that properties listed with a Realtor's assistance generate a higher net selling price than those listed without. 

Aggressive Marketing Plan.
National Association of REALTORS (NAR) estimates that 87% of homebuyers search for homes on the internet. Nobody will give you more online exposure than Michael Sorensen for less! My corporate RE/MAX website ranks in the Top 5 most visited websites out of all RE/MAX agents in Illinois. My listings are enhanced with Multiple Photos and Virtual Tours and submitted to Hundreds of Real Estate Websites and Search Engines to attract more buyers. Your property will be advertised in the Chicago Tribune in Print and Online until sold and Polish & Spanish language publications. Neighborhood Postcards and E-mail Flyer Ads sent to Thousands Realtors monthly. Those are just a few marketing techniques that I use to advertise your property. In today's real estate market it's important that your Realtor has an Aggressive Marketing Plan & Excellent Internet Skills. Any sales associate can list your home, but how many people will know about it?

Call now and you will get a FREE Virtual Tour with your listing!

Benefits of working with the Chicagoland's best Polish speaking real estate agent, broker Realtor.
Being bilingual English Polish speaking real estate agent in the Chicago metro area, is no longer a luxury. It has become a necessity in today's real estate market in the Chicago and Northern Illinois area. Speaking Polish has become increasingly important in all aspects of real estate transaction. From marketing, business referrals, negotiating the deal, to successful closing. Buyers simply feel more comfortable when they can communicate in their native Polish language. If you are interested in marketing your property to the Polish American community, you should strongly consider hiring a Polish speaking Realtor. If you are looking for an experienced, aggressive Polish speaking real estate broker, then you have come to the right place. I'm a Broker Associate @ ReMax City Realtors and I speak fluent Polish. I also have a strong and well established business presence in the local Polish medias - my listings are advertised in multiple polish language publications with color photos and rich property descriptions. I currently have about 250 prospective home buyers registered on my Re/Max website searching for homes, many of them are Polish and one of them might end up buying your property. Some of the benefits of working with a well established polish speaking real estate agent include: added exposure for your property, targeted marketing & advertising - reach out to more prospective buyers, handle open houses, answer questions, phone calls, inquiries about your property in buyer's native language (creates trust and bonding). I also work very closely with experienced polish speaking mortgage brokers, polish speaking lenders, polish apeaking real estate attorneys, polish speaking home inspectors, etc. to ensure a smooth and successful transaction.
