THE 2026 DUPAGE COUNTY HOMEBUYING PROCESS:
1. GET PRE-APPROVED - Know your budget before looking. Whether it's $300K or $500K changes everything about your search.

2. MLS SEARCH - Get new listings sent automatically so you never miss the perfect house.

3. WRITE AN OFFER - I provide contracts ahead of time (no surprises!), then negotiate on your behalf.

4. ATTORNEY REVIEW (5 DAYS) - Complete home inspection, submit earnest money, negotiate any repairs or credits.

5. APPRAISAL & LOAN - Lender orders appraisal and processes your loan. You'll need homeowner's insurance in place.

6. FINAL WALKTHROUGH - Confirm the house is in the same condition and repairs were completed.

7. CLOSING DAY - Bring funds and ID. Sign papers, get keys, move in!

YOUR ROLE:
Sign the contract, provide documents to your lender, let me handle negotiations. That's it!

TIMELINE:
From accepted offer to closing: 30-45 days typically. Finding the right home? Could be 60 days or a year depending on market and your needs. I've written 9 offers for buyers before getting one accepted, so don't get discouraged!

WHO AM I?
Hi there! I’m Amy Pecoraro, a Realtor in DuPage County, Illinois!

I became a Realtor after a horrible experience of trying to build a new home. My husband and I knew nothing about real estate, working with builders, and what a new home entailed.

The main reason I started in real estate was to help alleviate the time, stress, and added expense that can occur in real estate transactions. I wanted to make sure no one ever had to feel that way.

Even though I love every area I get to work in in DuPage, Will, and Kane Counties, I’m a fifth generation Lombardian, so Lombard will always have a special place in my heart 💜

On my channel, I’m sharing the real estate tips & tricks I’ve learned over the last 30+ years. I’ll also show you the can’t-miss places you have to visit in Chicago’s western suburbs!
