What Are People Saying About The Haas Team? 
Stephen and Caryn Haas are by far the most exceptional real estate professionals that we've ever worked with. From start to finish, they were honest, extremely patient, available and dedicated to helping us find a lovely home to raise our family in. It was an absolute pleasure working with them, they truly are top notch. ---Paul and Liza Moles and Family
We sold our house and I'm writing to tell you all about our realtors, Caryn and Stephen Haas (aka, the Haas Team). If you are buying or selling in Chicagoland, you need to contact them. They are based in the Koenig & Strey, GMAC Wheaton office. They mentioned that they cover a lot of the Chicagoland area, and in the few areas they don't cover they know good agents for referrals. As many of you know, we moved out of the area before selling our home, and the service that Caryn and Stephen gave us really went above and beyond my expectations. Feel free to contact me if you want more details, but I'll just say that I don't think you'll find a more helpful realtor team around. So, give them a call, or forward this to anyone else you know who might be in the market! Patrick & Mary Schroeder
"I have never been so impressed with customer service as with Stephen & Caryn Haas. They exceeded every expectation, were always available, treated us like royalty, and worked tirelessly behind the scenes for us. Absolutely fantastic team!" --C & S Lonnett
"Stephen and Caryn Haas provided tremendous service to us during the sale of our house. We have purchased and sold multiple properties over the last 25 years, employing numerous real estate agents. Caryn & Stephen exceeded our expectations as Realtors, truly the best we ever worked with." --L & P Richart
"We would like to extend our sincere thanks for all the work you did to help us sell our house in Glen Ellyn. In such unique circumstances, with us overseas and the tough market, it meant so much knowing our house was in good hands. We appreciate all the extra things you did to keep our house in good shape and to continue to attract potential buyers. Your communication was fantastic, which was invaluable given our distance. We've greatly enjoyed our relationship with you over the years- buying and selling our first home and buying and selling our second home. If we find ourselves in the Chicago area again, we'll use you for number 3 too! Best of luck to both of you in the future! Carmen and Patrick Carruthers

Bargain Properties >Bargain Homes
Most buyers want a home that is in tip-top condition and ready for them to occupy, but many homes sell for bargain prices because they need work. Buyers love "fixer-uppers" for the obvious reasons: the affordable price and the satisfaction of remodeling the house to accommodate your tastes and needs.
Whether you are buying the property for yourself or as an investment, choose a house that is in a good location and structurally sound. It should be priced enough below market value (usually 25%) to allow plenty of room for a profitable re-sale after the work is completed.
It is important to educate yourself before taking on a fixer-upper project. Inexpensive cosmetic improvements often give the greatest return on your investment-- paint will increase the value three times for every dollar invested. Landscaping, carpeting, and light fixtures are also relatively inexpensive improvements. Try to avoid purchasing a house that needs expensive structural improvements such as a new roof, plumbing, wiring, or foundation repairs.
Remodeling a kitchen will rarely add more than the cost of the upgrade, but new appliances usually give a fine return. An extra bathroom is the best renovation from an investment point of view, often giving twice its cost in added value.
