What areas do you serve?

We help clients across Chicagoland, including the city and south, southwest, and northwest suburbs, plus nearby Northwest Indiana when it makes sense for a client's goals. If you are moving beyond our local footprint, we will connect you with a vetted partner in your destination so your handoff is smooth and you are not starting from scratch.

Do you work with military families and VA loans?

Yes. Our team is veteran-led and experienced with VA loans, PCS timelines, and base-to-base moves. We coordinate with your lender to verify eligibility, explain appraisal and inspection expectations, and structure your offer so your benefits are protected while staying competitive in today's market.

Can you help with PCS relocations or out-of-state moves?

Absolutely. For inbound moves, we set up a short planning call, refine your search, and run virtual tours when needed. For outbound moves, we refer you to a trusted agent in the MIL-Estate network, share your priorities with them, and stay available for questions until you are settled.

What property types do you handle?

Single-family, condos, townhomes, 2–4 units, larger multifamily, mixed-use, and select commercial. We help you weigh condition, rents, taxes, and local ordinances, then map those details to your budget and timeline so you can make a confident decision.

Do you support investors?

Yes. We review rent rolls, expenses, and market comps, and we model conservative scenarios that account for vacancy, capex, and financing costs. You will see the upside and the risk clearly so the numbers, not the noise, drive the choice.

How do I get started?

Reach out on our contact page or call us. We start with a short conversation to understand goals and constraints, outline your financing path, and set a simple game plan. If you are selling, we add a preliminary pricing range and a prep checklist.

How are buyer agents typically compensated?

In many transactions, buyer agent compensation is offered by the seller side. Arrangements can vary by property and market conditions. We discuss options up front, in writing, so you know how representation works before you tour the first home.

What sets your team apart?

We focus on clarity and follow-through. You get direct communication, realistic timelines, and plain-English explanations of contracts, inspections, and lending. Our background with veterans and relocating families means we are comfortable managing tight schedules and complex logistics.

Can you help me price my home correctly?

Yes. We analyze recent comparable sales, active competition, and days on market, then factor in condition and timing. The goal is to attract serious buyers early, reduce price cuts, and keep your leverage during negotiations.

Do you offer guidance to prepare my home for sale?

We provide a prep plan that balances return and effort. Expect targeted touch-ups, exterior cleanup, light staging, and a photo plan. If larger work could change your pricing tier, we will price out options and help you decide if it is worth doing.

Do you provide floorplans or layout visuals for listings?

Yes. Every Dorazio Real Estate listing client receives a professional floorplan as part of our marketing package to help buyers understand layout and flow before touring. We also provide floorplan services for homeowners, landlords, investors, builders, and designers who need measurements and visualizations for renovations, marketing materials, or property management. We deliver clean, reliable layouts suited for MLS listings, short-term rentals, or long-term planning.

Where can I see your current listings?

Visit our listings pages to browse residential, multifamily, mixed-use, and commercial options. If you have something specific in mind, tell us your criteria and we will set up alerts so you see new matches quickly.

Do you provide referrals if I'm moving elsewhere?

Yes. We partner with reliable agents in other cities and share your goals and timeline with them. You get a warm introduction, context, and continuity so your transition stays organized.

Can you help if I need to buy and sell at the same time?

Yes. We start with a clear plan for financing, timing, and risk. Some clients list first and use a closing or rent-back to bridge the gap; others secure the next home with a financing approach that lets them move without rushing the sale. We coordinate timelines with lenders, attorneys, and the other side so your move is organized and the numbers make sense.

Do you have trusted partners for lending, inspection, legal, and repairs?

We maintain a short list of proven lenders, inspectors, real estate attorneys, and contractors. You choose who you work with; we simply provide vetted options and help you compare. We also manage introductions and scheduling so the process stays efficient.
