Fine Dining at The Melting Pot in Naperville IL | Plainfield IL Homes for Sale - 06/22/10 12:12 AM
My in-laws offered to babysit for us this weekend so that Tony and I could go out for dinner.  Despite our favorite downtown Plainfield IL restaurants like Baci’s, The Front Street Cantina, and Bin 48… we opted to try something different.
It’s been a while since we’ve had a chance to eat out sans kids, so we decided to take full advantage of not having to order from a children’s menu, cut up food into tiny pieces, or ask for extra napkins.  We could never “foudue” with our crazy crew with hot burners in the middle of the table, but it’s … (2 comments)

Plainfield Summer Fest 2010 | Living In Plainfield - 06/22/10 12:08 AM
Nothing says summer like a heavy dose of festival food, carnival rides, and cotton candy.  I’m sure you’re sick of me posting about the many fests that take place in Plainfield IL, but I can’t help it… they’re my favorite.
This summer, the Plainfield Summer Fest is taking place in downtown Plainfield starting on Friday, July 16th at 5:00 pm and running through Sunday, July 17th to 6:00 pm.
This is the biggest of the three seasonal Plainfield Fests, and probably the most fun!  Bring the kids, slap on some sunscreen, and get ready to enjoy summer!
See you at the … (0 comments)

Shenandoah Luxury Homes | Plainfield IL Homes for Sale - 06/11/10 01:21 AM
The other day I touched base with a past client.  During our conversation I was reminded of a beautiful property they had made an offer on  in the Shenandoah neighborhood in Plainfield IL.
Unfortunately, this was a short sale property and things didn’t work out the way we had hoped… but wow, this house was beautiful!  The master suite had a sitting area, in addition to a double walk-in closet.  The finished basement had a cinema room, custom built-in bar, exercise room, and sauna.
If I had the energy to move again, which I don’t, it would have been on my … (2 comments)

Hazards of the Profession: A case of what the grass is like on the other side | Plainfield IL Homes for Sale - 06/09/10 01:43 AM
Last week my sellers at 2212 Candlewood Dr. in Plainfield IL sold their home, and they needed to find a new home on the double!
One of the hazards of my profession is wanting to move into a vast majority of the homes I preview with clients.  Like... real bad.
It depends on the price range, and the sellers taste in decor of course, but I get a really bad case of "keeping up with the Jone's" when I see something I like. 
The awesomeness of home shopping with the Farrows is that they have 5 kids too.  They were looking … (0 comments)

Plainfield Luxury Home Sales for the 1st half of 2010 | Plainfield IL Luxury Homes For Sale - 06/04/10 12:47 AM
The Plainfield IL luxury home market has slowed a bit due to the lack of buyers in the market in this economy.  Most of the buyers in this market are first time home buyers which has slowed the volume of luxury home sales in Plainfield, IL.  Sellers priced above $350,000 can expect longer market times and higher seller concessions during negotiation in this market, but the good news is that homes are selling!  Buyers have somewhat of  a limited amount of choices in this price range because sellers that don’t have to sell, are reluctant to sell in this market.
