    Instagram post Proud to once again support the Elmhurst Family Pride Fest. The Makinney Group has been a sponsor since the event’s inaugural year, and it’s been wonderful to watch it grow into a community celebration that brings people together from across Elmhurst and beyond. Best wishes to the organizers, volunteers, sponsors, vendors, entertainers, and attendees for another successful event on June 20. #ElmhurstPride #ElmhurstIL #CommunityMatters #MakinneyGroup Makinney Group | Elmhurst REALTOR®️ Instagram post Your buyer may not live in Elmhurst yet. One of the biggest misconceptions in real estate is that homes are sold exclusively to local buyers. While some are, many of today’s buyers are relocating from other Chicagoland communities in search of better schools, a shorter commute, newer housing, or a stronger sense of community. The map below reflects buyer activity from one of the nation’s largest real estate portals and shows where buyers are discovering my listing at 964 S Hillside Ave in Elmhurst. More than 11,600 views and counting from across the western suburbs, the North Shore, Chicago, and beyond. Exposure matters. The right pricing, presentation, photography, marketing, and distribution strategy ensures your home is seen not only by buyers in Elmhurst, but by buyers who want to be in Elmhurst. Thinking about buying, selling, building, or investing in Elmhurst? Let’s talk. #SellingElmhurst #ElmhurstRealEstate #Compass #NewConstruction #ElmhurstIL #ChicagolandRealEstate Makinney Group | Elmhurst REALTOR®️ Instagram post Read that. And then read it again.
