RENTING?
How an agent can help you find the right rental
Renting a home has distinct benefits versus buying a house. For first-time buyers, a new house is a ton of work, requires dedication, and can be overwhelming. Many people opt to rent an apartment, house, or condo to avoid the maintenance tasks. Lawn care and emergency repairs are two more things that deter people from taking on a mortgage.
When you want to find a rental that fits your needs, meets your budget, and sits in your desired neighborhood, it is important to contact Maria. With local experience and a keen eye for details, I can narrow down the selection and make the process streamlined and efficient. Let me help you enjoy finding your next house for rent.
Renting can help you get into your favorite neighborhood.
When Lombard is the only community you want to live in to be close to the festivities for the Lilac Festival, then I can show you the best places to rent. When you are a college student attending Elmhurst College, then a rental in Triton can be an excellent starting out area. From Hillside to Lisle to Downers Grove, I have the inside scoop on the newest listings.
Minimizing responsibilities is a huge advantage when renting a house.
The high cost of a down payment for a house, closing costs, inspection fees, and appraisals make buying property a huge drain on your finances. When you are unsure about whether now is the time to buy or not, my years of experience and local market knowledge can guide you in the direction that makes the most financial sense for your situation and goals. Renting can help you avoid costly fixes when the furnace goes out in subzero temperatures or the air conditioner starts spitting out water all over your new carpet. Other tasks you can avoid when renting:
► Mowing the grass
► Shoveling snow
► Fixing leaky faucets
► Repairing the garbage disposal
► Painting the exterior of the house
► Finding a solution for a leaking slab
► Paying costly repairs for roof replacements
► Keeping up with preventative maintenance
Temporary job assignments make buying more difficult.
Family changes can make it difficult to stay in one place when you have aging parents or someone with serious health issues. Renting can make it much easier to pack up and move to another area. When your job requires you to relocate around the country, state, or globe, then renting is a much more cost-effective answer. Plus, you do not have to worry about trying to sell a house you love.
Avoiding additional monthly expenses with a rental can help you save money.
As a knowledgeable real estate agent with tons of local experience in Chicago, I know I can help you save money when you decide to look for a rental property. Let me guide you to the best selection in your desired neighborhood. I will show you how you can put money back for a down payment for when the time to buy is right for you.
