COMMISSIONS ½% for all sales to the listing brokerage 2.5% commission to the buyer’s brokerage 2% commission if a home is sold by one of the 6 team brokers.
Marketing Plan TARGET AUDIENCE Professional couples 35 to 55, approximately half with children. These individuals value convenience, community, and access to amenities. They will be seeking a suburban haven in a familiar urban package. They want all the benefits of suburban living such as open spaces and great schools without giving up the conveniences of the city lifestyle of low home maintenance, access to great restaurants, entertainment and commuting. Many will work from home at least part-time. Almost all of the buyers will come from the Chicago area, most from the northwest suburbs. Approximately 20% will come from the City of Chicago. Given the upscale nature of the Bell Works Townhomes, the location and the extraordinary Barrington 220 schools, this development will have a special appeal to Asian and South Asian buyers.
