A Tinley Park Client
From its Mokena office next door, Berggren Law serves Tinley Park buyers, sellers, and families, with close attention to the village's two-county setup.
Tinley Park is one of the larger Southwest Suburbs, home to roughly fifty-six thousand residents and known as one of the best places in the country to raise a family. Founded in 1853 as Bremen and incorporated in 1892 at the Oak Park Avenue train depot, it grew up along the Rock Island line and still celebrates that heritage with its Engine 1892 monument and historic downtown district.
What makes Tinley Park distinctive for a real estate practice is that the village straddles two counties. Most of Tinley Park is in Cook County, but a portion sits in Will County, and that line determines where a deed is recorded, how transfer taxes are handled, and which court hears a probate matter.
Berggren Law works just next door in Mokena and handles Tinley Park transactions on both sides of that county line, making sure the right recorder, the right declaration, and the right court are used for each property.

Tinley Park spans both Cook and Will Counties. The county your specific property sits in determines where the deed records and where probate is filed. The firm confirms the county at the outset of every matter.
Yes. Tinley Park imposes a municipal real estate transfer tax on top of the state and county tax. Because the rate and the village's procedures can change, the firm verifies the current requirement directly with the village for each closing.
