"Most people realize knowledge is power, and I work very hard to make sure my clients are the most well informed, educated consumers in the Chicagoland real estate marketplace."

Risa grew up in Deerfield (IL), lived in Las Vegas and Chicago, and recently moved to Mundelein in the Northern Suburbs.

Customer service is paramount in the home buying market, and there are no other REALTORs® who can match the service I provide", Ms. Weiss states.

"I use the internet and email extensively to keep my clients informed about homes that are coming on the market and to help manage the flow of information throughout the purchase and sale transaction. The great feedback I get from my clients with regard to my responsiveness is tremendously satisfying both personally and professionally."

Testimonials

"In response to the person looking for a real estate agent on the northwest side, I recommend Risa Weiss at Prudential Preferred Properties. Risa sold a city condo for me in about 3 weeks during a declining market. She was the third REALTOR® I tried and did the job in a fraction of the time. Risa works as a team with her husband David, so you have double the effort supporting you (and not some fill in agent who stands in for yours and who has no stake in the outcome). Most importantly, Risa makes deals happen and has impressive sales figures to back it up. If you want to sell quickly, call Risa." - D. Bacall

More Media Attention

Dave (my husband and business partner) and I get more than our fair share of media attention due to our marketng efforts on the internet and our videos.  Here's a list of a few nice opportunities that have come our way:

  • Dave appeared in a nice, long radio interview on Real Estate Radio USA about our Wicker Park video
  • I was featured in a front page article in the Chicago Tribune's real estate section about marketing
  • Dave has been featured in two internet marketing and video articles that were published in the National Association of REALTORs monthly trade magazine
  • I was the featured REALTOR on the most watched HGTV "House Hunters" show ever - "More Room for Baby" (I have another espisode of "House Hunters" airing this month).
  • Our videos were written about in a very popular real estate marketing blog called "The Future of Real Estate Marketing".

Dave and I just got an email yesterday from someone who manages several very large real estate web sites, and we hope there are some more good promotional opportunities there, too.  We'll see.

Yes, all this publicity helps us to build our business, but it helps our clients, too.  Our notariety becomes their notariety, and our brand becomes bigger and bigger as time goes by.  Additionally, our focus on new media and the internet targets qualified buyers and sellers very effectively. 

There's no doubt people are finding us on the internet.  And when they find us, they find our clients, too.

Be Remarkable

"I believe advertising is the tax you pay for being unremarkable."

This is a quote from Robert Stephens, the founder of the ubiquitous "Geek Squad" - the Best Buy technology guys who drive around in VW Beetles and fix your computers for you.  Stephens started the company on $200 back in 1984.  Today, the company, now owned by Best Buy, has 11,000 employees.

We do our best to follow this idea - we work hard to differentiate ourselves every day through a tireless pursuit of excellence. 

Great customer service

Great marketing

Great follow up

Never saying "I can't"

We're the one and only choice for selling real estate in this tough market because we refuse to cut corners, give in, or give up when it comes to selling property.
