How Can I Help You

Hi, I'm Tim Soper and my only goal as a Real Estate Professional is to help my clients buy and sell property by providing them prompt, expert, and complete counsel in the pursuit of their real estate objectives. So I ask you: How can I help you?

Community Information: Real Estate

Do you want in-depth knowledge about SW Chicagoland Real Estate?  Information and advice about Shorewood Real Estate, Joliet Real Estate, Channahon Real Estate, Minooka Real Estate, and surrounding towns? I can provide you with up to date statistics and reports about local real estate market conditions, plus an "on the ground" perspective of what is happening locally.

Community Information: General

A community isn't a collection of houses and buildings, it is the people, businesses, and activities that make it a community. These are the communities that I live, work, and play in. In addition, I can provide you links to community information such as Shorewood schools, Joliet Park District, Channahon Park District, Minooka schools and much more.

Expertise & Knowledge

Are you looking for an expert to guide you thru buying, selling, or investing in real estate? I offer my sellers an innovative and effective marketing plan to get their home sold. In addition, I  handle every step of the real estate process from "contract to closing"; be it an expertise with contract terms and procedures or a wealth of knowledge regarding loan programs, investments, and/or first time buyers.

Distressed Homeowners

I specialize in finding solutions for distressed homeowners facing foreclosure in Illinois. I am Certified Distressed Property Expert (CDPE), a Certfied Short-Sale Professional (CSP), and hold the National Association of Realtors' Short Sales and Foreclosure Resource certification (SFR).

In addition, I have developed an online knowledge base specific to distressed homeowners: a resource for foreclosure prevention in Illinois, a blog with the latest on the Illinois foreclosure process and Illinois foreclosure laws, plus a FREE Illinois foreclosure prevention book.

Trust & Confidence

Most importantly, are you looking for a trusted teammate? For competent negotiation and complete management of the buying/selling process on your behalf? I can help you.
