Frequently asked questions
Why work with a team instead of a solo agent?
Coverage and specialization. Your listing gets the pricing desk, your search gets a dedicated buyer specialist, and someone is always reachable — vacations and closings never leave you waiting. One process, four sets of eyes.
Who will I actually work with?
A named lead for your transaction — Elena or Marcus on listings, Priya on buyer searches, Tom on relocations and senior transitions. The rest of the team backs them up; you always know who owns your file.
What does it cost to sell with Harper & Vale?
Commission is agreed in writing up front. Staging consult, photography, and the full marketing package are included on every listing — the process is identical at $400K and $900K.
How do you price homes?
The pricing desk runs closed comps from the last ninety days at the neighborhood level, adjusts for condition and competition, and gives you a defensible range in writing. We show you the comps, not just the number.
Do you cover towns beyond Wheaton, Glen Ellyn, and Downers Grove?
Our depth is in these three towns and that is where we add the most value. For moves beyond them we will say so honestly and refer you to someone with real depth there.
