Al Gould

After a successful career on the floor of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, Al Gould decided to pursue a career in real estate. He is proud to be an experienced agent with Coldwell Banker Realty in Long Grove, Illinois. 

The integrity Al Gould displayed on the trading floor continues in his real estate endeavors. Al’s clients frequently commend him for his honesty and for putting their best interests first. Al’s philosophy is clear. Listen to the client, provide them with candid advice and help them make the best decisions whether they are buying or selling.

Al's first step in working with a seller is to access the property to determine what needs to be done to bring the highest price possible with the least amount of work and stress. He considers a home sale a team effort with communication being a key component to a successful transaction. Al conducts a market analysis to determine the home's current value. His proven marketing strategy includes utilizing Coldwell Banker Realty's Spotlight Marketing Program to showcase the property. Professional photography, glossy brochures, print advertising, direct mail, television spots and social media advertising are just a few of the marketing tactics Al may use. Whenever Al has a new listing, he announces it to his extensive network of real estate agents and prospective buyers. 

When working with buyers, Al Gould learns about their price ranges, desired communities, home "must-have features" and deal-breakers. In addition to knowing which properties are for sale on the MLS, Al scours every source ranging from the Private Listing Network to Coldwell Banker Realty's Exclusive Look program to his real estate colleagues. 

Al Gould serves the Chicagoland area and the northwest suburbs. He brings empathy and a great sense of humor to every situation, no matter how challenging it may be. Al’s clients consider him a trusted advisor as well as a good friend.
