About Chris
Spotting value in things comes naturally for Chris. From the time he was young, Chris´ favorite hobby was collecting rare coins from around the world. His interest progressed to commodities, such as silver and gold, and eventually the stock market. After graduating from the University of Miami with a degree in finance, Chris became a trader on the Chicago Board of Trade and the Chicago Mercantile Exchange for 14 years.
With over fifteen years of Chicago real estate experience behind him Chris Pagano is now among the top 1% of Realtors nationwide, with Cook County residential sales in excess of $150,000,000. As a real estate agent specializing in Chicago properties in the Gold Coast, Lincoln Park, North Side and Lakefront neighborhoods, Chris utilizes the same skills he exhibited as a trader. He uses his strong negotiations skills, ability to spot value, and knowledge of finance and interest rates to ensure his clients get the most for their money. "My goal as an agent is to find top value for my clients in an ever-changing real estate market. I can´t rest unless I know I´ve helped them make an informed investment decision."
Please tell me what you are looking for or how I may assist you with any of your Chicago real estate needs.

Financing Your Home >Mortgage Myths
Nationwide surveys indicate that a large number of potential home buyers count themselves out of the market because of widely-held myths about home financing.
Some of the most prevalent myths include: 1) home buyers need large down payments (more than is actually the case); 2) the loan process works against people under age 35; 3) owning a home is more expensive than renting; and 4) minorities have no chance of getting a mortgage.
The surveys found that many people view the mortgage process as "difficult, stressful, and incomprehensible." Many qualified first-time buyers are unaware of special programs designed to make home ownership affordable to them. The home loan industry is always looking for new ways to dispel these myths because lenders want more business, not less. The alternatives to traditional 20% down, thirty-year fixed mortgages are astonishing. Mortgage brokers are experienced in explaining today's financing and debunking the myths.
