Tim Binning, new owner |
The RE/MAX Great American North office at 40W160 Campton Crossings Dr., in the Wasco area of St. Charles, Ill., recently was acquired by Tim Binning, the broker/owner of RE/MAX All Pro, which has offices in Bloomingdale and Sugar Grove, Illinois. The three offices, serving the DuPage, Kane, Kendall and Will county portions of the Chicago real estate market, will operate as a group although the Wasco/St. Charles office will continue to be known as RE/MAX Great American North.
“We are delighted to expand our reach in the west suburban market. The Wasco/St. Charles area is an outstanding community, and RE/MAX Great American North has a respected name there, along with a highly capable group of agents, so we don’t want to make a lot of changes,” said Binning. He noted that Bobbie Gerbrecht-Grayson, who has been managing the office for several years, will continue in that role.
“We now have what amounts to a triangle of locations serving the metro Chicago real estate market, and all our agents, no matter which office they use as their base of operations, will be welcome to utilize any of our facilities,” said Binning. “Our focus is on supporting our agents, making sure they have the resources needed to deliver the best possible client service and build successful careers.”
Binning had been a RE/MAX affiliate for five years when he acquired RE/MAX All Pro in Bloomingdale in 1997. In 2005, he acquired the Sugar Grove office, which recently added 15 agents. Now, with his newest acquisition, Binning’s three offices serve more than 65 agents.
“We intend to be among those who master the challenges of the current Illinois real estate market,” Binning said. “It seems as if we’ve been seeing an increase in buyer activity over the last four to six weeks, but we’ll have to see if this translates into sales.”
