Why buy with me in Huntley
I'm Laurie Arslani, a REALTOR® with eXp Realty, with 12+ years in the business and over 100 homes sold. I'm a Certified Real Estate Negotiator (CREN), so I know what to lean on when it's time to make an offer. I want you to buy a home you can live in comfortably, not one that leaves you stretched thin.
How I help you buy in Huntley
Huntley is one of the fastest-growing communities in the far northwest suburbs. The 2000 census showed almost 6,000 residents and the 2020 census almost 28,000, and quite a few new developments in recent years have helped it grow. A lot of the homes are ranch homes, and there are a couple of 55-and-over communities.
Before we tour any home, I always have you sign a buyer agreement, and I go over it with you first so you know exactly what it covers. From there, the steps are on my buying process page. I teach you every step, and I never rush a decision.
Local context for Huntley buyers
Huntley has a historic downtown, and it's only about 10 minutes from Algonquin's Randall Road for the main shopping and more restaurants. There are quite a few places off Route 47 too. Route 47 is the main corridor and gets you to I-90 quicker. It's about 50 minutes to O'Hare and a little over an hour to downtown Chicago, depending on traffic. Huntley's main school district is District 158, and I encourage you to check the schools yourself for any address you're considering. For more on the town, see my Huntley page.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to sign anything before we tour homes?
I always have my buyers sign a buyer agreement before we tour. I go over it with you first, either when we meet, or by email and phone if you're ready to start sooner.
How long do I have to inspect a home once I'm under contract?
In Illinois, the contract has an Attorney Inspection Review period. The inspection has to be done within the first 5 business days, and your requests have to be submitted by the 5th day. I walk you through it so you don't miss it. This describes my general process and is not legal advice.
Will you help me stay comfortable with what I spend?
Yes. I want you in a home you can live in comfortably, and I never rush a decision.
