“When Rose and I decided to downsize from our home in Lincolnshire and look for a 55 and over community, we contacted Tom Reinhofer of Ricke Realty. He helped us prepare our home for sale and researched the market to price our home of twenty years, properly. We came to an agreed price, Tom worked with a professional photographer to help show our beautiful home to the marketplace. At the same time, he began to help us look for a home in an over 55 community. These are not plentiful on the northshore, which meant Tom had to work hard to be able to show us an appropriate and fair selection of residences. The marketing of our existing home was in full swing and we had showings immediately. It was in the second week we had our first offer. Not only did we get our asking price, but the marketing went well enough that Tom was able to get us more than asking within a three week period. Now was crunch time to help us find a home, arrange legal advice for closing, home inspection and for money to close and buy something else at the same time. I must say that Tom handled all of that without us having to worry about anything too much. He arranged everything and all went without any problmes, including the people he had arranged for. This will make your head spin...home inspection, legal advice, bridge loan and closing on both the sale and buying of our new home in Libertyville in a very short time. Thank you, Tom and Ricke Realty.”
