Originally settled by New England farmers in 1834 and later by German immigrants in 1848, Elk Grove Village flourished along with the crops in its fields. Named for the herds of elk that called the local woodlands home, Elk Grove continued to grow to include commercial enterprises - such as general stores, smithies, creameries and churning houses. In 1868, the first school (Biesterfield School) was built; the building still stands and is used as a private residence.
Elk Grove Village, covering 10 square miles northwest of Chicago in Cook and DuPage Counties, is indeed a great place to live, work and … (3 comments)

elk grove il realtor: Chicago Northwest Suburbs Market Conditions - I'm tired of the media! - 08/20/08 01:18 PM
I’m tired of the media.  I’m tired of hype and spin that turns out to be nothing at all.  Let’s glamorize a small topic so we get viewers and listeners. 
That’s what’s basically going on today when you turn on the TV or listen to the radio on the way into work.  So what or WHO are we to believe when it comes to our home values in the area? Our local market conditions in Northwest Chicagoland are often times different from what's happening nationally, so it's best to work with a real estate professional to determine timing, pricing and … (2 comments)

elk grove il realtor: Not knowing enough about your Credit Score can hurt you! - 06/19/08 03:22 PM
In the wake of the credit crisis, lenders have become much, much more selective about whom they lend to. Here are some basic facts that will help potential borrowers understand what they face.The measurement that most lenders use to assess applicants' credit risk is the 'FICO Score' developed by Fair Isaac Corp. The score ranges from 300 to 850.There's not one FICO score. Buyers have three scores: one for each of the three credit bureaus which are Experian, TransUnion, and Equifax.Each credit score is based on information the credit bureau keeps on file.  Since credit bureaus don't share their data with … (4 comments)

Now is a great time to buy a home, say the financial gurus at the Wall Street Journal.The Journal calls it a buyers market and offers these suggestions for first-timers getting their feet wet. While their advice is solid, it's not revolutionary, but some potential customers might find it reassuring.Remember this is a place to live not a stock market investment, they say. Lenders want buyers to spend no more than 28 percent of their gross monthly income on mortgage payments, real estate taxes, and home insurance. Buyers shouldn't count on stretching further because lenders won't approve their loans.
