Equal Housing Opportunity & Fair Housing statement
Ali Shabazz and Realty Of America fully support the principles of the Fair Housing Act and the Equal Credit Opportunity Act. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, familial status, disability (handicap), or any other class protected by federal, Illinois state, or local fair housing law.
Every buyer and seller is entitled to the same professional service, access to housing opportunities, and honest representation, regardless of background. If you ever feel this standard was not met in your interaction with us, please contact us directly. We take this seriously.
Brokerage relationship disclosure
Ali Shabazz is a licensed real estate broker affiliated with Realty Of America (Brokerage License #88555), operating under the Illinois Real Estate License Act.
- Browsing this Site, downloading a free resource, or submitting a survey does not, by itself, create an agency or fiduciary relationship between you and Ali Shabazz or Realty Of America.
- A formal representation relationship, as a buyer's agent or seller's/listing agent, begins only once a written representation agreement has been reviewed and signed by both parties, consistent with Illinois disclosure requirements.
- Prior to signing any representation agreement, you will be provided the required written agency disclosure describing the nature of that relationship, as mandated under Illinois law.
Not legal, financial, or tax advice
Information provided on this Site or during a consultation with Ali is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute legal, financial, tax, or investment advice. Before making binding decisions, including signing a purchase contract, listing agreement, or loan application, you should consult with your own licensed attorney, CPA, and/or mortgage professional.
Market data & valuation disclaimer
Any pricing ranges, market trends, or home value estimates referenced on this Site, in marketing materials, or during a consultation are Ali's professional opinions based on currently available data. They are not formal appraisals and should not be relied upon as a precise valuation of any specific property.
For a certified appraisal, please engage a licensed appraiser. Market conditions in Cook County, IL can change quickly, and prior results do not guarantee future performance.
Testimonials & results are not guaranteed
Client testimonials referenced on this Site, including timelines such as "keys within 45 days" or "sold within 40 days," reflect the individual, genuine experiences of those specific clients. Every transaction is different, and factors like financing, inspection outcomes, market conditions, and the actions of other parties can meaningfully change your timeline and outcome. Past results do not guarantee similar results for you.
Listing data (MLS/IDX)
Where property listing information is referenced or displayed on this Site, it may be sourced in part from the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) or Internet Data Exchange (IDX) feeds. This data is believed to be reliable but is not guaranteed accurate, complete, or current, and is subject to change or withdrawal without notice. Always verify current listing status, price, and details directly with Ali before making decisions.
No guarantee of availability
Homes referenced in a custom home list, market update, or marketing material may go under contract, sell, or be removed from the market at any time, sometimes within hours. Receiving a custom list does not guarantee that every home on it will still be available by the time you're ready to view or make an offer.
General disclaimer of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Ali Shabazz and Realty Of America are not liable for any decisions made, or losses incurred, based on general information provided through this Site, free resources, or informal conversations. Formal terms of any transaction are governed exclusively by the applicable signed purchase agreement, listing agreement, or representation agreement.
