RE/MAX Superior Properties In Huntley Has New Ownership

New ownership is now in place at RE/MAX Superior Properties, 10880 Hwy. 47, Huntley, Ill. Tony Bellino, a RE/MAX agent with 20 years experience who was formerly based in Algonquin, Ill., acquired the office in partnership with his son, Daniel Bellino, an attorney.

“Huntley today reminds me so much of Algonquin when I first entered the real estate business 20 years ago,” said Tony Bellino. “It has seen a good deal of growth in the last decade and will see even more in the years to come. For a real estate professional, this area is one of the outstanding opportunities in the northwest suburbs, and my son and I wanted to be part of it.”

A resident of Algonquin, Bellino is implementing a 90-day program to upgrade and expand RE/MAX Superior Properties. The service area will remain the same: Algonquin to Huntley and McHenry to Elgin.

“We will start by improving the office infrastructure, which includes upgrading the office interior and carefully selecting the best new technology options. Then, our focus will shift to recruiting additional agents,” he reports. “After that, our job will be to acquaint the community with our new team.”

Bellino brings with him to Huntley his four-person team of real estate professionals. Their job, said Bellino, is to use their skills to improve the office and support the six agents already there, as well as those Bellino hopes to recruit.

“This area has so much potential that I’m confident we will be able to expand our staff of agents quite readily,” he said.

One reason for his confidence in the future of Huntley, according to Bellino, is his comfort with the community’s political leadership.

“The leaders here have taken a very thoughtful approach to the planning process, learning from both the successes and the mistakes of other communities, and the result has been the creation of a great plan for future growth. I’m excited about the prospect of helping move that plan forward in our role as Realtors®,” he said.
Bellino joined the RE/MAX office in Algonquin in 1988 after an 18-year career in the restaurant business. A few weeks ago he was inducted into the RE/MAX Hall of Fame, an honor that recognizes RE/MAX agents who have assisted 350 or more clients in their RE/MAX career.

“We welcome Tony and Daniel as RE/MAX franchise owners,” said Jim Merrion, regional director of RE/MAX Northern Illinois. “Both are outstanding professionals, and I know that the people of Huntley will find them to be real assets for the community.”
