My dog, Honey, and I moved to Chicago from St. Louis, MO. I fortunately found the Dreamtown website. My agent was such a big help to me. I had to fly in on a few occasions to look at properties and he always had the showings lined up allowing me to see what I wanted in the least amount of time possible.
Since I moved from out of state, my agent dealt with the small issues for me that must be done for a move that I couldn't handle long distance. For example, he worked with the alderman's office for moving truck parking permits, and he really looked out for us in all aspects. I was ready to pay full price for my home, but he negotiated a lower selling price, even though that meant a lower commission for him. I wholeheartedly recommend Dream Town if you want an agent who has your best interests in mind.
