I was moving from Virginia to Wadsworth in Illinois and contacted three realtors online - Jillian was the first to actually get back to me and I never looked back. If you're opinionated like me and know what you want, then she is a great real estate agent to know in this area! We'd schedule two hours to see houses and do it in about 25 minutes because I'd walk in and it's like "nope, let's go." - She's very easy to be yourself around and I liked that about her. But she also made some great observations - we'd start liking a place and she'd be the first to spot things like mold, so she was very helpful in ways I wouldn't have thought of. Since this was a long distance move, she supplied me with a huge number of contractor types - from a plumber to somebody who could clean my home, even a landscaper because the outside was a jungle.

Since this was a long distance move, she supplied me with a huge number of contractor types - from a plumber to somebody who could clean my home, even a landscaper because the outside was a jungle. She got a feel for what I wanted, and as soon as the right single-family went on the market, we literally toured it before the open house and made an offer on the day so I could lock it in. She helped me with all the Illinois-specific things I wasn't familiar with, like how they pay back taxes and closing costs. The house was 'as is' and she helped with wheeling and dealing on certain things. She's well connected, very resourceful, and exactly what you need when moving to a new place.
