Marcia Rowley

About

BUSINESS PHILOSOPHY
Marcia's main goal is to educate her buyers and sellers so they are 100% confident with the decisions they make whether buying or selling. The information available on-line to both buyers and sellers is vast. Marcia can take the information a client has gathered and add specific details that aren't available to consumers, so a full picture is drawn. For Sellers it may be as simple as explaining what the differences are between their house and one that the internet says is similar, or explaining why there are sizable differences in prices for similar homes in the same neighborhood. Across the country many communities use square footage to determine price, not so much in the Chicago market and that has to be explained to both buyers and sellers. With rising prices appraisals are having difficulty verifying some selling prices. Marcia always meets the appraiser - ready to answer questions and with her own detailed analysis of the home to confirm the selling price. In today's market a properly priced house sells quickly and Marcia prepares her buyers before they start looking so they can react quickly when they find the home of their dreams. Marcia goes into great detail when designing a specific website for a listing which will draw a buyer to the property - she has been successful in selling homes when the buyer has only viewed the website. Every contract negotiation brings its own unique challenges and Marcia is ready to deal with all. With over 30 years of experience behind her you can count on Marcia to bring you strategic and skilled negotiations.
Marcia has worked with her team for years. If a client is ready to sell their home in Lake Forest, Marcia will meet with the client and describe how the team will work for them to bring them the highest price, and when working with buyers she is upfront about her involvment and those of her team members.
Owning a home may be the single largest investment an individual makes in their life and she is intensely aware of the importance of this item in their portfolio and in the emotional aspect of their lives. Marcia brings hard work, honesty and a real love of what she does to each and every transaction.
