Paco had a very disarming approach with his clients. He understood what we wanted, and made sure that we had access to a wide range of opportunities. My fiancée and I work different hours and Paco made himself available during brief windows of time. Overall, we could not be more satisfied. ~ E & TJ Roy
I’ll recommend Paco, he was wonderful! He stayed in contact with me throughout the entire process. He earned every cent of his commission. As a matter of fact, I have recommended him to my friends. Go Paco! ~ Patricia
I will recommend Paco. He was friendly, helpful and understood our needs in the housing market. Paco was very accommodating and a pleasure to work with. ~ A & J Ziemba
I have already recommended Paco. Very professional and gave the right amount and type of information I wanted. He was also well prepared. After a bad experience with an Agent from another company, this was a great experience! ~ M & J Peterson
Your Agent Paco Aramburu made what should have been an extremely nerve-
Paco, I just wanted to take a little time to commend you on your efforts. Throughout the entire process, you have remained our professional realtor and counselor and we appreciate you more than our words could ever express. Keep up the good work!! ~ Eunice and Chemia
It was fun working with Paco! I'm so tired of Agents that only talk to me until they learn that I buy investment properties. All of a sudden, they don't answer the phone anymore. But Paco stayed with me and had my best interest in mind. ~ Kevin
Paco, I want to thank you for helping me find my home. It was truly a pleasure working with you. I feel very comfortable and satisfied with my purchase. You have an outstanding work ethic that is so rare today. You are a wonderful representation of your company; they should be very proud to have someone like you. I will definitely refer others to you as well as Jameson Sotheby’s; you will be the “official” Realtor of choice. ~ May
I’ll recommend Jameson Sotheby’s because Paco works there. Paco took me to see all the units that I wanted to see, even when other Realtors refused. He made recommendations and didn’t sell to me. Throughout the process, he has been wonderful, always available to answer questions and address my concerns. Paco; many referrals to come. ~ Victoria
Paco and my entire family worked hard to find us the house. We’re happy with him because he showed us everything, even when he knew it was no good for us. But we ended up with a great place, with room for everyone and we’re paying less than we hoped at the beginning.

We worked with Paco Aramburu. He was so wonderful. He was patient and he advocated for us like we were his family. After seeing many properties, having deals fall through and coming so close to the closing and not making it through − Paco held strong and didn't push us into anything we were not prepared for. He was wonderful and it was absolutely the best real estate experience we've had! We love Paco and thank you Smart Property!

One is for sale the other is for rent.
If you cannot afford to waste money on rent, you should be buying.
Let’s assume that you’re renting an apartment in Chicago. That means that you’re paying around $1,800 a month for a smallish place with a good location.
Adding it all up, you’ll pay your grateful landlord $21,600 at the end of one year and $108,000 at the end of 5 years.
“I know!” You say, “But I have to live somewhere and I’m not tied to a mortgage.”
The problem is that your landlord is paying his/her mortgage with your money and accumulating equity thanks to you.
“What do you mean by equity?”
Equity is basically the money you have left after you sold your property. So let’s work on this scenario:
You buy a condo larger than your apartment in a good location in Chicago – say on Lake Shore Drive and Schiller St. – with 1 bedroom, 1 bath, hardwood floors, stainless steel appliances, and everything ready for you to move in.Look for similar condos here.
“That would be too expensive. Wouldn’t it?”
If you put 5% down (you could put less, and in some cases nothing) your monthly payments would be $1,645.05 (including: mortgage, taxes, assessments, and insurance). You’re already saving $154.95 a month. Look for similar condos here.
“A modest savings,” you say. But there are other hidden benefits.
Your interest will be deducted from your taxes and – assuming a 30% tax bracket – you will get $3,039.63 from an uncle named Sam. This is for the first year, and if you buy well, there would be some equity left. Contact Paco to learn your affordability coefficient
“Okay, but it’s not rocking my world.”
You forgot the rent! You see, the rent is strictly an expense. So at the end of five years you’re out $108,000 – if they don’t raise it every year by at least 5%. Add to that the accumulated equity ($26,318.09) if the market continues in this present slump and property values do not go above the present 0.1% appreciation we’re in.

“This could change my life.” You finally agree with me.
