Look, I get it, you’re busy. If you’re a REALTOR® the market
is good, you don’t need any new buyer clients. If you’re looking for a home in
the area, you’re just going to cruise REALTOR.com and look at listings online
and then maybe reach out to your great Aunt Mable who (you’re pretty sure) is a
REALTOR®. Or maybe you already own a home in the Joliet area – you’re way too
busy with (insert whatever keeps you busy here) to come to a Housing Expo on
Sept 9th. Allow me to
convince you otherwise:
REALTORS®: Of
course, you want more clients. Did you know that homeowners in the City of
Joliet have already used $600,000 in down-payment assistance and there is an
additional $300,000 coming available in September? The Joliet Housing Expo on
September 9th is your opportunity to recruit buyer clients, learn
about Joliet’s down-payment assistance program and get some deals going. Last
year’s expo had approximately 300 attendees. If you’d like a vendor table at
the event, just call or email me (gblustein@illinoisrealtors.org
or 847-899-1873).
Looking for a home?
Okay, so you’ve been looking at houses online and you think you’re ready to
take the next step. At the Joliet Housing Expo on September 9th you
can interview expert REALTORS® from the area and find the right REALTOR® for
you. Not to mention – there is free money available to pay your down-payment.
Come to the expo to find out if you qualify (pssst…you don’t even have to be a
first-time homebuyer).
Already a homeowner? The
real estate market is doing great right now and the biggest challenge is a lack
of inventory. Why not come to the Housing Expo September 9th and find
out what your home is worth – you might be surprised. Not to mention, many
community groups will be on hand to discuss why Joliet is such a great place to
live and work. You may learn something about your neighborhood!
Convinced?
Great! Here are the details.
