Find your dream home with The Chodaczek Team at LoFaso Real Estate in Medina County
By Mary Malik
Every successful team has a game plan. It’s a strategy for achieving an objective. Your real estate team should be no different, especially when that objective is finding your true dream home, an essential part of a well-lived life. The Chodaczek (show-da-zak) Team at LoFaso Real Estate in Medina County specializes in connecting with your family and helping you find the home you need, the home you want, and the home you deserve.
Team leader Jessica Chodaczek has been working as a licensed real estate agent for seven years. Three years ago she formed the Chodaczek Team in order to help even more families find not just a house, but their true dream home.
“Our goal is to find your family your next home, one that will do much more than satisfy your basic needs,” says Jessica. “It should be the one that allows you to live well right now and into the future. This space should fill your needs today, tomorrow and maybe forever. That’s our goal for you.”
To achieve that goal, The Chodaczek Team’s game plan starts by interviewing your family and discovering your needs, of course, but also your heart’s desires.
“What will make your next home the one that allows your family to live the life they long for and deserve?” asks Jessica. “We’ll guide you through our unique and proven process and find you exactly that home. You don’t have to settle. Especially after this year of lockdowns and social distancing, we’ve all discovered the importance of living the life we want right in our home—for our entire family.”
Jessica’s team consists of three additional licensed agents and an assistant who all work together for their clients and focus on the Medina/Brunswick areas of Medina County.
“We are always recruiting additional quality agents for our team,” says Jessica. “We look for people who, like us, have a passion for this community, for helping families find their next home here and for guiding them through our process with integrity, knowledge and professionalism.”
Jessica and all of the team members live and raise their own families in Medina County. They understand the market here as well as the value and unique advantages the area offers its homeowners. And now is a great time to buy or sell. Whatever your needs are, The Chodaczek Team will show you the way.
How Do You Know When it’s Time to Move?
Home ownership usually progresses in stages. The first home is often bought by a single person or couple with few if any children. This “starter home” fills the needs of the family at that time.
Then things change. A family may add another child or simply find they’ve outgrown their space. What does the next home look like?
“This is where we come in,” says Jessica. “We know, because we’ve been there. An important part of making this decision to move up to a bigger home is giving yourself permission to dream about what that home looks like for your family now.”
Perhaps nothing has changed a 2020 homebuyer’s perspective more than Covid-19. We’re living differently now, and maybe for a long time to come.
“These past several months have transformed home life in many ways for all of us and changed how we use our homes on a daily basis,” says Jessica. “For many, the house is now the office, activity space for the kids, school and study space, and maybe even a bed and breakfast for adult children or elderly parents. Ask yourself this question, does your house work for your family anymore?”
If walking in the front door has become the most stressful part of your day, it’s time to move.
Are You Ready to Move?
Here’s a list of questions to help you assess how your current home is working for you:
- Are you constantly clearing the kitchen table of laptops and paperwork so you can eat a meal with your family?
- Are you tired of stepping on Legos in your bare feet and tripping over your children and pets in the minefield that once was the dining room?
- Are your adult children sleeping in their old bunk beds and working and studying from every corner of the house or wherever they can find an available electrical outlet?
- Are you dreaming about that sewing room, workshop, man cave or she-shed you always promised yourself? And if you have that space, is it now being used as a makeshift bedroom or home office?
- Are you storing your new InstaPot in the oven, hall closet, even the clothes dryer because there’s no storage in the kitchen?
- Does your backyard back up to many others, making entertaining and relaxing difficult?
- Is the family fighting over…well, just about everything?
“A ‘yes’ to any one of these may mean it’s time to go,” says Jessica. “If you answered ‘yes’ to more than one, it really is time to move. Your old home literally doesn’t fit your new life. And now is a great time to upgrade to the home that works for you and your family.”
Just like you, Jessica and her team wear many different hats throughout the day. And in recent months, all of those hats are being worn at home.
“So many of us are working from home, teaching kids, cooking more than ever before,” Jessica adds. “Whatever happened to your home being your oasis? There’s no reason your home can’t be the place that fulfills your needs and dreams – every day.”
I’m Ready to Go…What Happens Next?
The decision has been made. You’re ready to make the move. What can you do today to get the process started?
“First, contact us to receive our free Living Well Guide, which outlines the signature process we use to get our clients into their next home,” says Jessica. “We’ll set up a free initial consultation where we will apply the Living Well method to your unique, personal situation. And don’t think it’s too soon to start the process. It’s never too soon. We often work with clients up to a year or more in advance of the time they’re ready to move, and our typical client is three to six months out.”
Once you’re ready to begin the journey to your perfect home, The Chodaczek Team will put their marketing plan into motion to sell your current home quickly and efficiently.
Selling Your Home For Top Dollar
Right now, inventory is tight and many homes are receiving multiple offers above the asking price. Still, smart marketing can net you even more for your home.
“Our marketing plan includes professional photography of your home at our cost, 3D walk-through tours, precise digital marketing targeting specific demographics, and much more,” explains Jessica. “We are thorough and aggressive in the techniques we use to sell your home. Over the past two years, our average days on market for our listings is 11, and they sell for 99.75% of asking price. Every home is the perfect home for someone. We’ll find that buyer for yours.”
Jessica advises that even if you’re not ready to move yet, follow The Chodaczek Team on social media and get to know them and what they can do for you. When you see them making clients’ dreams come true, you might find yourself ready sooner than you thought.
“The Chodaczek Team believes your home should allow you to rest and recharge at the end of your day and enjoy your time together as a family,” says Jessica. “You should accept nothing less. If you’re trying to cram your life into a house that’s too small it, only increases your stress and that’s not good for anyone.”
And Jessica and her team work with experts in the mortgage and financial fields, home inspectors and others who will get you the most for your home if you’re selling and help you determine a comfortable purchase price for your new home.
“Mortgage rates are very low,” says Jessica. “It’s a great time to make that dream home of yours a reality. There’s enough stress in the world right now. Let your home be the place where you retreat, regroup and recharge. The Chodaczek Team has the game plan to get you there.”
