Chicago Northwest Suburban Real Estate- Renting your home is a good option! - 02/27/09 04:28 PM
 

A few of my clients have tried to sell their homes this year, but unfortunately, they were not able to sell their home at their desired price.  If it was financial feasible for them to own 2 homes, I have advised these clients to lease  their home in these tough times, and wait for the housing market to turn around.     I have leased certain client's townhomes from $1850 to $2600 and luxury homes from $3000 to $5000 a month.  Two of my clients have received a corporate 3 year lease and can't be happier. 
 If you would like to lease your condo, … (6 comments)

Growth Leader- I hit the jackpot today! - 02/23/09 08:16 PM
I hit the Jack Pot today by having a Growth Leader website!
Within the last 24 hours,  Growth leader has provided me with 3 leads.   Two of the leads had only email addresses, but the third lead had a working phone number.   About 15 minutes after this lead was emailed to me,  I called the client and asked her if I could help her with her home search.    She said yes and that she was looking for a home in the Buffalo Grove or Arlington Heights area, and that she would need assistance.  
 I explained to her why it was a wonderful time for a first time buyer to … (17 comments)

One of my  newly married clients asked me yesterday if he would qualify for the $8000 tax credit.  The caveat is that his wife had previously owned a home before they were married.  The answer is No.... 
The following post answers this question and many other questions people will be asking all year regarding the First time home buyer credit.   It is one of the best summaries I have read on the tax credit thus far. You might want to keep it handy!

Dear Diary, My passion (besides real estate) is making people smile! - 02/19/09 10:37 AM
My real passion is.....
Trying to make people smile!  Since I ‘m not a good joke teller, actually I'm a horrible joke teller, I try to make people smile in other ways.
In today's environment, where all you hear is negativism from the time you turn on the news when you first wake up, to the time you fall asleep at night, it's easy to go a day without a real smile.  It's not that I'm oblivious to the news, or what's going on in the world, but since I can't change anything globally, I just love to make a little … (20 comments)
