About Michael Lescher
Serving satisfied clients for 30+ years in the Fox Lake area, I’m a RE/MAX Hall of Fame realtor who knows the Chain O’ Lakes region well and shares my expertise after learning your home buying or selling needs.
I help you from start to finish. From lakefront to commercial deals – short sales or investment properties, it’s my job as your realtor to:
- Bring you market information and interpret it.
- Listen to your goals and time frame.
- Market your property and give you feedback.
- Negotiate for you.
- Follow through until closing the deal.
I’ll provide you personal attention, eagerly out-working other agents. I meet with you in person and communicate regularly about the analytics of similar nearby homes and action on your property.
I guide you, but you ultimately make the final decisions – because after all – it’s your house.
