Testimonials To Whom It May Concern: I want to express my gratitude to Christine Wilczek.
She is truly a gem in the real estate world that is crumbling as I’m writing this. Christine went above and beyond anything I ever expected a real estate agent to do. My family and I listed our home
six months ago. We had an offer within a few weeks (because of the amazing advertising on our home) that ended up falling through, obviously due to reasons that were completely out of Christine’s control. She was patient, understanding and really made us feel at ease during that disappointing time. Fast forward five months and we have another offer. After agreeing on the price, things seemed to be going smoothly. The close was going relatively quick (about a month after the offer) but we had plenty of time to get everything taken care of. Less than two weeks before our scheduled closing date, we were informed that the buyer’s lender had done a “drive by” appraisal and we appraised
Christine literally went above and beyond her call of duty. She was on the phone demanding a “real”
for less than our sale price.
appraisal. In this market, especially in the Lemont area, a drive by appraisal is just unacceptable and Christine made that very clear to the lender. They agreed to schedule a new appraisal but by now, we were only a week away from closing. Her relentless calling resulted in a “rush” appraisal being ordered. Bright and early Saturday morning (six days before we were scheduled to close), with a smile on her face, Christine was at our house ready to meet the appraiser. He told her the results would be in on Monday. Christine made eight phone calls on Monday trying to get the results. Christine knew that obviously me and my husband were nervous at this point seeing that the “drive by” appraisal came in lower than our agreed sale price. Tuesday came along and Christine continued her pursuit by making eighteen phone calls. Finally, after several more phone calls on Wednesday, she received the
results of the appraisal (which came in where it needed to). At this point the buyer had to file for an extension on the closing, which resulted in us filing an extension on our new home. By Friday of this week (the day we were originally scheduled to close), the buyer still didn’t have a clear to close and Christine never stopped making call after call after call on our behalf. Monday came around
We are finally scheduled to close on Thursday and I honestly believe that without Christine, this would not be happening. and her calls began once again.
Throughout this entire process, Christine has been absolutely amazing. She has never made me feel like I’m bothering her (and believe me… I called her a lot!), She has been calm, reassuring, sympathetic (we have two very young children and living out of boxes is not pleasant), and just plain wonderful. She called me at 8:00 pm one night, with her kids in tow, to let me know she finally heard back regarding something we were waiting on. It’s as if her work day never ends! Her dedication to her clients is
outstanding!

She is a go-getter and WILL get
I can’t imagine going through this process with anybody else. The real estate world is a mess
right now but it does have a shining star in Christine. I cannot thank her enough for
everything she has done for my family and I. Her commitment to her job, compassion for what she does and who she represents, and understanding of the fact that peoples lives are involved throughout this whole process just one piece of what makes Christine one of the top real estate agents in the country! I would recommend Christine in
a heart beat and feel very lucky that we chose her to sell our home. Thank you Christine, Sarah and Matt Eigel

Integrity. Trustworthy. Meticulous. Strategic. Professional. Empathetic. Forthright. Vigilant. Perceptive/Intuitive. Loyal. Those are
the first words that come to my mind when thinking about working with Jason and Christine; if you do not wish to read the rest of this review, just refer to the aforementioned list. That list forms the foundation (pun only slightly intended) for what makes Jason and Christine the best. My family and I had to undertake a local move as we needed a larger house (and some other qualities). We only relocated about 10 minutes away from our home in Lemont to our new home in Orland Park. Jason was our primary point of contact, but it was always obvious that he and Christine make a great partnership as Christine seemed completely up-to-date in the few instances that I had a question

under several thousand words would do justice to the product afforded us by Jason and Christine - I have many examples, but the first that comes to mind was a situation that I will mention in the form of a question……….... Have you ever even heard of a real estate agent disapprove of the state of your new home, prior to your moving-in after closing, and to rectify said situation took it upon his/herself to fill up 20 hefty bags of garbage (left by movers and seller) so that you didn’t need to deal with the headache and could just “enjoy” your new home? Ours did exactly what is described– the movers and prior owner left an extraordinary amount of trash around the house; Jason didn’t want our first time in our new home marred by the actions/laziness of other people… Jason, by himself, filled 20 XL garbage bags; I didn’t ask, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Jason did all that cleaning while wearing a suit... It should be noted that Jason even purchased the

their personal touch makes that “human” difference when its most needed. C&J could
have easily been arrogant and not willing to spend the time finding exactly what my family needs in a new home, but they were partners with us beginning to end. I am sorry of this all seems sycophantic, but I cannot think of any “bad” qualities…. However, I could definitely keep telling stories about Jason going that extra mile for us.
Thank you! The Hall Family Shawn Sr. Dana, Shawn-Michael, Greyson, and Avalene

Staging
Before After Y
ou know a thing or two about curb appeal. No one has to sit you down to explain the importance of the “first impression.” You get it. After a thorough cleaning and primping, your home has never looked better. You may just move your REALTOR® to tears of joy as they enter your listing. Later. Much later. So why isn’t your home selling? Sometimes even the most beautiful, well-appointed abodes need a little extra help that goes beyond another sweep of the broom or pillow fluffing. Many savvy REALTORS® are embracing the concept of “home staging” to give their listing a competitive edge in this aggressive market. While it’s necessary for homeowners to do the due diligence involved with readying a home for market, deconstructing the home of many of the owners’ personal elements will greatly enhance sales potential, according to Julea Joseph, home stager, interior stylist and owner of Reinventing Space.
Ultimately, what buyers are looking for in your home (aside from decor, layout and amenities) is to be able to see themselves in your home. Oftentimes, instead of seeing the home for what it is, buyers will get mired in the elements of the home that reflect the owners’ personality. “We are all proud of our collections and we want to display them in our homes. But what starts to happen is those collections can become very distracting to a buyer if they are overdone.” Joseph said. “If there are excessive family photographs strewn throughout the home, guess what a buyer is going to look at? They will fail to notice all the lovely architectural and functional elements unique to the home. It’s human nature.” The last thing a seller wants is their home decor leaving an impression on the buyer. Instead of your home being “the one with all the Lladros (figurines) or “the one with all the duck decoys,” you want it to stand out on its own merits. You want your home to be known as “the one with the exquisite
crown molding” or “the one with the custom cherry wood flooring.” Christine Wilczek, Broker Associate of Realty Executives Elite in Lemont, specializes in the ultra-competitive luxury home market. “You only have 30 seconds to make an impression on a buyer. A home has to look its best in the first day it’s listed. As part of my services, I do a complete walk-through of the home and determine what improvements or finessing needs to be done, I give the homeowners my suggestions and, if needed, recommend they work with a home stager.... It’s a proactive measure to ensure the property is ready from day one. In my experience a staged home greatly increases the likelihood of a sale.” Wilczek noted. One of the most common challenges Wilczek encounters with her listings is improper furniture placement. Too much furniture can make rooms appear smaller than they are and it can disrupt the flow of the room. Conversely, a sparsely furnished room can be too
708.420.2424 Cell/Text | 630.755.0700 Office
depersonalized, leaving a lot of guesswork as to how a room can be arranged. “Sometimes a home will be very decor-specific and we’ll work to neutralize it. Or it can be as simple as repainting walls with more modern colors,” Wilczek said. Enter the home stager. Joseph works directly with REALTORS® as well as homeowners. She provides an initial evaluation and determines whether or not a complete or partial staging is required. “It really depends on the house or marketplace. Sometimes I just work with the public area of the home. In other instances I’ll go as far to stage the entire home down to the closets and medicine cabinets,” Joseph said. For instance, in older homes where closet space is at a premium, complete staging is often required
to fully optimize and showcase limited storage space. If painting or repairs need to be done, Joseph works with a select group of vendors who can get the job done professionally and expediently. Otherwise the homeowner can opt to do it themselves. Then if it’s adding decor, Joseph makes recommendations for accessories and can either shop for her clients or rent them from her personal inventory. When furniture is needed, she works with a furniture rental company. “I like to use a lot of what the homeowner already has. In many cases, it comes down to putting things away or in storage and rearranging furniture to showcase a room’s focal point,” Joseph said.
Both Joseph and Wilczek said there is an emotional element that comes with depersonalizing your home. Although some homeowners are reluctant to do so, they ultimately see the bigger picture and are amazed by how quickly their homes can be transformed. Costs of staging services vary. A designer with an assistant can be in the ballpark of $200 per hour, with a typical staging ranging from two to three hours. Extras such as painting, additional accessories and furniture rental are all ala carte. The stager lends their keen understanding of not only the marketplace, but their expertise on how to orchestrate the look and fluidity of a home. “I provide this service to my clients at no additional charge because it’s a great tool that tremendously fosters sales,” Wilczek said.

Salt and pepper ribs, then dredge in flour. Set aside. In a large dutch oven, cook pancetta over medium heat until complete crispy and all fat is rendered. Remove pancetta and set aside. Do not discard grease. Add olive oil to pan with the pancetta grease, and raise heat to high. Brown ribs on all sides, about 45 seconds per side. Remove ribs and set aside. Turn heat to medium. Add onions, carrots, and shallots to pan and cook for 2 minutes. Pour in wine and scrape bottom of pan to release all the flavorful bits of glory. Bring to a boil and cook 2 minutes. Add broth, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and plenty of freshly ground black pepper. Taste and add more salt if needed. Add ribs to the liquid; they should be almost completely submerged. Add thyme and rosemary sprigs (whole) to the liquid. Put on the lid and place into the oven. Cook at 350 for 2 hours, then reduce heat to 325 and cook for an additional 30 to 45 minutes. Ribs should be fork-tender and falling off the bone. Remove pan from oven and allow to sit for at least 20 minutes, lid on, before serving. At the last minute, skim fat off the top of the liquid. (Can also refrigerate mixture, then remove solid fat from the top.) Serve 2 ribs on bed of potatoes, spooning a little juice over the top.
