Home Buyers Team

Home Buyers Relo is an Illinois based real estate company specializing in relocations and practicing "exclusive buyer representation".  We’re set apart from all of the others because as company policy, we never serve sellers and take no listings. 
 
Founded in early 1991 by Merrill and Paul Ottwein, the company is in its 16th year without a listing but has served more than 2100 buyers purchasing homes in southwest Illinois.  

Operating a traditional agency and disturbed with the fact that home buyers were usually unrepresented, (but often thought they were,)  Merrill and Paul be­came early advocates of buyer representation…this “exclusive” variety.

Recog­nizing the strong rela­tionship with reloca­tions, and the growing popularity of several cities in SW Illinois as desirable relocation targets, they opened this 1st, and still only such specialized agency in SW Illino­is.  They offer service to all of the best of SW Illinois, serving companies on both sides of the river and Scott AFB, often working in concert with similar realty firms west of the river.

Offices are at 6620 Center Grover Road in Edwardsville, and at 515 W. Highway 50 in O’Fallon.

The team at Home Buyers Relocation Services has many years of professional and relocation experience, not large, but dedicated and teamed!    All know the territory....and the real estate and relocation businesses.  All are disciples of exclusive buyer representation. With client satisfactions high, ours are too! We’re having a wonderful time, consistently delivering the best in home buying services.

Long ago, we learned that we relate to people as much as to property.   So we try to build in a special sensitivity to every con­cern, enhanc­ing the expe­rience for the whole fami­ly, hu­maniz­ing an often emo­tional experi­ence.
 
Our offices become your ­home where you make your own coffee and help y­ourself to cookies and coke, until together we find that single best home for your next chapter!  While you’re here, you’re family!

We intend to provide the most successful, pleasant total relocation experience possible….that which we would want for ourselves if we were going to a new "home town"!   We claim the tools and the attitude to consistently do that.  We intend to make the home finding experience a celebration....not  a chore!  We  want….for each and every one of our clients….nothing less than a GREAT relocation experience!
