I'd like to talk to a seasoned real estate agent about possibly listing my home in a few months. The house is located in Oak Park and in great condition - new kitchen, new forced air system, hw floors throughout, etc. If any of you have worked with a great realtor in the Oak Park area, I'd appreciate receiving your referrals. Thanks in advance.

I second the recommendation for Margaret McSheehey, she helped us with our house in OP. She lives in OP (has for years) and knows the area very, very well. Highly recommended. Good luck!

We haven't sold with her, biut we had a great buying experience with Marion Digre at ReMax in the Village. We didn't know OP/RF/FP at all and she helped us find the perfect spot AND knew a ton about the entire area, what was for sale at the right price and what was for sale at the sellers convienece/price. Her daughter and huasband often work with her, and I found them both nice, but would make sure to have Marion at any negotiations. Good luck!

When my husband and I bought our house in OP two years ago, we worked with Karin Hansen and Steve Nasralla, Re-Max in the Village. I truly think they are the best realtors in town! Here's Karin's e-mail address: ____@____.com

We just bought a house in July -- he worked with us from January through June until we picked one...we were interested in many suburbs because we had no idea where we wanted to live...he traipsed through them all with us, was very accomodating, etc. We must have looked at 120 homes ;) ha! He also owns his own condos, rehabs and sells them...he does both buyers and sellers. Plus, he is in your area. Good luck!

Hi Megan, I see you've gotten lots of responses! We are hoping to buy in OP, so I just thought I'd say hi... not sure what your place is like but we are looking for a 3BR/2BA (ideally) for $300K or less.. In our experience, this is very hard to find (one that's decent, anyway)... so anyway, I just wanted to say hi and good luck, and let me know if you want to provide more details. We have been looking for quite a while.

Megan,
We used Margaret McSheehy of Historic Homes Realty in 2003 and not only was our house sold in 5 days (of course, different market back then) but she listed it well above what we intended on selling it for and we got almost our asking price! Margaret really listens to all your needs and works primarily in the OP/RF/FP area, she really understands this market. I'd highly recommend her!
