Personal Background

Eileen Romito (Eileen McAuslan) has been working as a real estate agent in Chicago, Illinois since 2007. She has a bachelor's degree in finance from the University of Iowa. She began working in the banking industry out of college and later moved into the field of real estate where she has grown to be an expert in various Chicago neighborhoods. 

Her deep understanding of the economy and the financial aspects of property ownership, along with her analytical background makes her a great Realtor to help you through the home buying or selling process.

Client Testimonials & Reviews

Eileen is a terrific real estate agent and I highly recommend her. She is professional and knowledgeable, as well as down-to-earth. She not only strives to find the perfect property for her clients but also makes the buying process as smooth and aggravation free as possibe. She is attentive to her clients needs and ensures that they are exposed to a wide range of real estate options that comprise things such as location, price and financing. I was fortunate enough to utilize Eileen as my agent for a property I purchased in 2009 and I was very happy with her work. As a first-time homebuyer, I was inexperienced with the entire process. Not only did Eileen guide me through the whole process, but she was attentive, honest, hard-working and comforting, especially when I felt frustrated, as the homebuying process sometimes can be. As a homebuyer, you want your experience to be as enjoyable and pain-free as possibIe, and your agent to be knowledgeable, dedicated and a source of comfort and reassurance. Eileen is that agent and I would definitely recommend her services to both first-time and experienced homebuyers. -Brendan D (Buyer - Roger's Park, Chicago)

Seller Services

At our listing meeting, I will go through a marketing plan tailored specifically to your property. However, below are some of the basic tenets of how I sell property, and I hope you will invite me into your home so I can show you the rest.

1) We will have an initial consultation and I will provide suggestions and guide you in getting your home "photo-ready" and "showing-ready".

2) I follow up with buyers after showings & open houses in order to determine the buyer's interest in your property & get feedback that will allow us to make changes to improve future showings.

3) I utilize technology in such a way that a broader audience of buyers is reached, and you are integrated fully into the sale process. The specifics of your property will determine what audience I target and by what means of communication I do so. We will discuss this further at our listing meeting.

4) I respond within the hour & usually within 10 minutes to all requests from buyers via the internet for showings or more information. Internet buyers want a quick response and I am able to give that to them.

5) Most Importantly: You are integrated fully into the sale process! This means that marketing information is very transparent for you! You will be electronically "linked-in" to the MLS transaction to see how your property is percevied by potential buyers. You will receive feedback from showings via e-mail. You will receive regular reports on how many "online showings" your property has received. And much more! We'll go over all of this together at our initial meeting.

Buyer Services

I'll meet with you for initial consultation before beginning work with you as a buyer. At this point, we will talk about your needs, as well as how I do business. I will help you get a full grasp on the buying process, and answer any of your questions so that you feel comfortable. If you and I feel we are a good fit for eachother, we'll begin the quest to find you the perfect property!

I will make sure I have a full understanding of your property criteria and begin the initial footwork. I'll then be able to save you time by narrowing down the listings that I know won't work for you & showing you only the best.

As we start visiting properties, I'll help you understand the good points and potential "problem areas", and familiarize you with the neighborhoods and nearby market trends. I'll also dig up listings that you might not necessarily have considered on your own due to the listing being overpriced or needing some work, and I'll show you how you might be able to get it within your budget and/or fix it up to make it exactly what you're looking for.

Once we've found you the right place, I'll discuss with you what it may be worth based on the current market conditions. I'll help you write up the offer & go through the property disclosures with you.

Once a contract has been accepted, I'll attend the inspection(s) either with you or on your behalf, and I'll be the point of contact between you, the listing agent, your attorney, & your mortgage lender to make sure all of the pertinent paperwork gets processed on time.
