YOUR LOCAL REAL ESTATE EXPERT

Buying and selling property is one of the most important decisions of your life. My priority is to satisfy my clients’ real estate needs and represent their best interests at the time of buying or selling real estate with professionalism, integrity, expertise, perseverance, and results.

I was born and raised on the Northwest side of Chicago. I started my real estate career in 1991 at 23 years young and have been a full-time real estate broker ever since. I have closed over 3,000 transactions from Chicago’s lakefront to Marengo, Antioch to Naperville, and everywhere in between.

As your broker, understanding and achieving your real estate goals is my highest priority. Neighborhood knowledge and market insight, along with outstanding personal service are the cornerstones of my business. As a part of one of the leading brokerages in the Chicagoland area, I can offer you advanced tools and resources. Whether you are buying, selling or renting, I will provide guidance at each step of the way for a successful, enjoyable transaction. I invite you to contact me to discuss your next steps.

WHAT CLIENTS ARE SAYING

5-STAR AGENT

“Paul was professional in every aspect of selling my mom’s home. He was easy to reach when we had any questions. He went above and beyond our expectations. We would highly recommend Paul and will employ him to sell future properties.”

—S. Eck, Realtor.com

“...We tried selling our house with a Redfin agent. The lack of experience and caring really put us off, and our house didn’t sell. We were very happy to have found Paul to work with. He hit the ground running, and within 2 weeks we had a full price offer on our house! He made sure the whole process of selling went smoothly and kept us informed every step of the way. We also had him help us find a new home. The market is very tough, but with Paul’s guidance and unrelenting optimism, we were able to find a new home...We are confident that we are in the best hands when it comes to real estate.”

—Zillow.com

“I interviewed several realtors, and easily choose Paul. He was fantastic from start to finish. Very knowledgeable and professional, he made the whole process very easy. He created a lot of traffic and our home sold very quickly. Thank you Paul!”

—John P., Realtor.com

“Working with Paul was awesome from beginning to end. Paul is knowledgeable and very dedicated to his clients throughout the process which was our number one concern. We definitely would use Paul again in the future and have encouraged our friends and families to call Paul for assistance. We are so grateful for all he did for us.”

—Mims,

“Paul is extremely easy to work with. He is very knowledgeable and uses that knowledge with new technology. He goes that extra step to make us feel comfortable with him. Paul is always available for my phone calls or returned my call promptly. I highly recommend Paul to our friends.”

—Zillow.com

“I interviewed 5 agents when I put my house up for sale, only one, Paul Ambrogio, arrived without preconceived market analysis...fully prepared to inspect my house before suggesting a selling price. Paul listed the house for 15K more than the other agents and he sold it to the first prospective buyers. Paul negotiated a price higher than expected and kept the process moving forward at all times. We also used Paul to purchase our new home, he was so knowledgeable of the area that finding the correct house was a breeze. Paul also negotiated the price of the new house and was able to get a better price than we had thought was possible. Paul always responded to our queries within a very short period of time, kept us informed at all times and was a real pleasure to work with.”

—Zillow.com

“Paul was a crucial part of our first time home buying experience. We started with an offer on a short sale, a process we knew little about, but Paul walked us through step by step and gave us suggestions to help make the headache of a process much easier on us. In the end, we found a different home that we ended up purchasing. Paul was by our side through the whole process. He is a very strong communicator and negotiator, and he makes the process fun!”

—Zillow.com

“We worked with Paul to sell my grandmother’s home. He was extremely knowledgeable, resourceful, professional and friendly. Paul went above and beyond in every way to make certain the process went smoothly. We highly recommend Paul!”

—Karen F., Realtor.com

“Paul made home buying an absolute breeze! He made the home buying process extremely smooth by taking care of everything very quickly while sharing his knowledge the entire time. If you are looking for a great agent I would highly recommend Paul Ambrogio!”

MARKETING SERVICE PLAN

PRE-MARKET ADVERTISING – Exposure on social media through “Targeted Ads” on Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn to engage position buyers.

COMING SOON CAMPAIGN – Shoot “Coming Soon” video to give buyers a sneak peek inside. This will give your home massive exposure with “Targeted Ads” on Facebook and Instagram. Videos range from 2K-10K views.

PRE-MARKET ON MLS – Run a search and discover agents with potential buyers. Submit to Private Listing Network.

INTERNET ADVERTISING – Advertise your “New Listing” and “Open House” on 70+ top real estate websites worldwide for maximum exposure.

GO “LIVE” - OPEN HOUSE VIDEO – Shoot live video on Facebook and Instagram to promote upcoming open house. This will attract engaged buyers as well as passive buyers.

MEGA OPEN HOUSE – Massive attendance exposure to put buyers in a “Frenzy” and generate interest from multiple buyers. This will leverage your home for multiple offers.

MOBILE ADS – Mobile ads are reaching buyers with property specific, demographically targeted mobile web ads that appear throughout the Google Chrome Browser on mobile and desktop sites.

PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY – Pictures engage the consumer, if a buyer doesn’t like what they see online, they are less likely to schedule a viewing. Professional photographers will produce high quality, high-resolution images to encourage physical walk through traffic.

AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHY – In a world where what you see is what you get it is important to highlight outdoor features like a water view, pool, or golf course.

3D VIRTUAL TOUR – Cutting edge technology will be used to allow out of area visitors to virtually walk through your home using Google Goggles, a smartphone, or right from our website.

VIRTUAL FLOOR PLANS – A professionally measured floor plan will be generated and set to deliver online and in print in order to engage consumers with the layout of the property.

PROFESSIONAL PERSONALIZED COLOR BROCHURE – Professional photographs that have been visually enhanced will be utilized by Starck’s graphic design team in order to provide robust 8+ page full-color brochures specially designed for Luxury Collection properties.

RELOCATION PROGRAM – Information on your property will be listed in the Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices relocation packages that go to major employers. This will increase your exposure to relocating buyers. Last year, one in four buyers was from out of town.

PREMIUM BROKER TOUR – Offers a fully catered luncheon and a raffle or small appreciation gift.

PRE-INSPECTION – A pre-inspection is one way to protect your asset and make sure that you don’t lose out during home inspection negotiations. You will be able to make vital repairs before they are discovered by the buyer. Buyers can review the inspection report, verifying that repairs have been made, which will enable your transaction to move along smoothly with fewer surprises.

PRE-TITLE COMMITMENT – A Starck Title pre-title commitment will reduce your risk of any title problems at closing.

SHOWING CONFIRMATIONS – The Starck Client Care showing desk will call, text, and/or email in order to ask for your confirmation prior to every showing appointment. This personal touch assures your safety and security.

HOME WARRANTY – A home warranty protects you from unexpected expenses during the listing period and transfers that protection onto your buyer at closing for their first year of ownership.

BUYER OFFER PACKET – An informational brochure that contains a list of all your homes unique features and upgrades. In addition, it will contain a purchase contract, disclosures and answers to most FAQ from the buyer. This information will give buyers the confidence to write an offer on your property.

BUYER/REALTOR® SURVEY – A survey will be sent after every confirmed appointment, requesting buyer and Realtor® feedback on their showing of your home.

TRANSACTION MANAGEMENT – The details of your transaction will be communicated to your attorney, lender, and the title company to ensure that your contract closes – and you can move ON TIME! Over 80% of our contracts close on the date written in the contract compared to an industry average of less than 50 percent.

My market savvy keeps buyers from overpaying and sellers from missing an opportunity.
