Your Neighborhood Realtors

If you’re considering buying or selling a home in Wheaton, Geneva, Batavia, or anywhere throughout Chicago’s western and far western suburbs, you’re in the right place. Samantha “Sam” Bauman-Nelson and Raul Delgado of BHHS Chicago | The Move Smarter Team bring years of real estate expertise plus hospitality experience, combining strong client service, strategic marketing, and hands-on guidance throughout every step of the buying and selling process.

Having helped over 200 families throughout the Chicagoland area and surpassed $100 million in closed sales, our team is known for building relationships first and helping clients move forward with confidence. From first-time home buyers and relocation clients to growing families, downsizers, upsizers, divorce situations, estate sales, and luxury home sellers, we provide personalized guidance tailored to each client’s goals, timeline, and stage of life.

Whether you’re ready to move now or simply starting to explore your options one to two years down the road, we believe smart real estate decisions start with a plan. We take the time to educate clients on the local market, explain timing and strategy, and create a customized approach designed around your goals — not pressure or sales tactics.

Selling a home today requires far more than simply putting it on the market. It takes preparation, presentation, pricing strategy, and marketing expertise to truly stand out online and attract serious buyers. As a Certified Home Stager, Sam helps sellers prepare their homes to maximize appeal and create a strong first impression from the moment a listing goes live. Combined with professional photography, video marketing, social media exposure, strategic pricing, and strong negotiation, The Move Smarter Team is committed to helping clients sell smarter and move forward with confidence.

Whether you’re relocating to the Chicago suburbs, buying your first home, upsizing for more space, downsizing into a new chapter, navigating a divorce, or preparing an estate property for sale, our goal is simple — to help you move smarter with confidence and clarity.

Proudly serving clients throughout DuPage, Kane, Cook, DeKalb and Will Counties with offices in Wheaton and Downtown Geneva.
