lisle: "WHY ARE THERE SO MANY FOR SALE?" - 04/20/09 11:35 AM
I hosted an open house at my listing in River Bend on Sunday.  The weather was fairly typical for an April day in Illinois.  Wet and raw.  Highs in the lower 50's...
Despite the inclement weather, the turnout was solid.  Nine groups came through...
The comments were fairly consistent.  Tons of space.  Gorgeous windows.  Love the neighborhood and the model...                                                                                                                                                
"But why are there so many for sale?" many visitors asked.
"There must be 30 homes for sale!" said one very impressed yet concerned visitor.
"Actually, there are 15," I answered, knowing the conversation wouldn't stop there.
"Why so many for … (12 comments)

Only 10 minutes from downtown Naperville lies one of my favorite towhnome communities.

The location is great too.  Close to several major highways, Lisle is between Downers Grove and Naperville.
The homes are now priced VERY affordably...

lisle: MEMORIES...DELIVERING THE NEWSLETTER...KEN'S RIVER BEND VIEW, LISLE ILLINOIS - 10/23/08 08:02 PM
Almost half way through my plan...
It was cool and windy today.  Typical for late October.
I was delvering more newsletters today.
My target was River Bend, one of the best little subdivisions in the suburbs, located in Lisle Illinois.  Just off Route 53 and 59th Street, these homes are an easy 5 mile drive from downtown Naperville.  The townhomes, very attractive with brick fronts, sell in the mid to high 200's. 
I have good memories of River Bend.  I proposed to my wife Nicole here.  We lived in our home (pictured below) for 5 years before we had Erin.  It's a great neighborhood...

lisle: HAS ACTIVE RAIN JUMPED THE SHARK? - 09/02/08 07:09 AM
One month ago, Active Rain pulled off one of the greatest marketing tactics I have seen.
THE LOCALISM LAND RUSH.
Active Rain has always been fun.  The point system allows for a little friendly competition between Realtors across the country.  They publish member numbers in the top right corner (107,073 and counting).  We who post are ranked in our community, our county, as well as our state.
It's all neat.
But last month, with the release of the New Localism, and more specifically the Local Land Rush, I find myself wondering...
Has Active Rain jumped the shark??? (for those of you who haven't seen the Fonz in a while, … (32 comments)

lisle: "I'M NOT GOING TO LOSE MY SHIRT" - 08/26/08 05:58 PM
I was back at it today.  I was delivering my newsletter.
Today it was the River Bender.
It was a gorgeous day in Lisle, Illinois.  75 degrees.  No humidity.  Not even a cloud in the sky.
Perfect.
I had a 140 newsletters to deliver.  I hang them on door knobs.  I use plastice door hanging bags.  Anyway...
While I was out, I ran into a guy I knew from the neighborhood.  He was walking his dog, enjoying the day.
He asked about work.
"If I had it my way, I would sell my house and move to California," he said.

lisle: SO HOW IS THE REAL ESTATE MARKET? - 08/21/08 12:49 AM
I was sitting on the couch with my 9 year old niece this morning.  I was drinking my coffee, reading the paper, and CNBC was on in the background.
"So how is the real estate market, Dylan," I asked. 
It felt good to ask someone else this.  As a Realtor, I am asked this question many times every day.
I was curious how a 9 year old girl would answer the question.
"I have heard that it is not very good," Dylan answered.
"Where did you hear that," I followed up, nervous she would name me as the source of her … (35 comments)

lisle: SALES PICKING UP AT THE RIVER BEND TOWNHOMES, LISLE ILLINOIS - 08/12/08 06:54 PM
After what could be best described as a sluggish spring real estate market for one of my favorite little subdivisions, the River Bend Townhomes, the summer market is really starting to heat up.
After only 4 sales in the first half of the year, the townhomes, located in Lisle Illinois just off of Rte. 53 and 59th Street, have seen 3 contracts written in the last two weeks. 
Prices have come to down to a level where buyers could sit on the sidelines no more. 
And the buyers have moved in aggressively, with one third of the homes FOR SALE now under contract.

lisle: SO I SPONSORED A COMMUNITY - 08/05/08 02:47 PM
I am not sure exactly what it means, but I sponsored a community on Localism today.
I gobbled up one of my favorite towns, Lisle Illinois. 
My first sponsorship!!! 
Will a Little League Baseball team be next???
I hope so.
It cost $9 today plus $9 per month. 
There were still plenty of cities available.  Glen Ellyn, Winfield, Hinsdale were all tempting for me.
I thought $9 would per month would be safe.  I hope Nickie approves! :)

One of my prospective sellers called me this morning.  We had met on Saturday.  He has a nice home in my farm area, River Bend.
"Ken, I appreciate your time on Saturday, but my wife and I decided to go in another direction with selling our house.  We decided to use another Realtor," he said.
"Hey, I thank you for the call.  I must say, I am a little disappointed, but good luck to you.  If you do ever need anything or have a question, call me anytime," I responded before hanging up the phone.
A little disappointed.  But no more.

lisle: I "LOST" A LISTING TODAY - 05/01/08 07:00 PM
I write that with a smile.  I didn't really lose the listing.  I just didn't get the listing.  She never asked me.
That's right.  Asked me.  I think people should. 
She was a nice lady in my old neighborhood, River Bend.  She knows me.  She knows I am a realtor.  She knows nobody sells more homes in River Bend then I do. 
In the last year, 11 homes have been sold in River Bend.  I sat at the closing table on 4 of them.
She is in my database.  I contact her from time to time. 
She may be reading this post...

lisle: "WELCOME TO THE PROSPECTING BUSINESS!" - 05/01/08 11:43 AM
Gary Jacklin is a good man.  He is the broker owner at my office RE/MAX Action.
We have fought.  Plenty of times.  But he is still a good man.
I have threatened to quit.  He has threatened to fire me.
When I first became a licensed real estate agent in October 2005, I interviewed at a local Coldwell Banker office. 
It was right across from my favorite Starbucks.  Mmmm coffee.  Great location.  Busy parking lot.
The broker at the Coldwell office had his back turned to me when I arrived for my appointment.  He continued to "work" on his computer for at least 30 seconds while I stood there … (6 comments)
