elk grove village il: Elk Grove Village Community Profile - 06/15/11 03:39 PM
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)

The average list price in Elk Grove Village is $145,475 and there are many homes available in the most popular price range of $100,000 to $200,000. The lowest … (1 comments)

elk grove village il: Elk Grove IL Buyers - Great Step for peace of mind - Lyn Sims (847)230-7324 - Elk Grove Village IL Buyers Agent - 12/13/08 12:13 PM
WHAT IS A HOME WARRANTY AND HOW DOES IT WORK?
WHAT WILL IT DO FOR ME AS A BUYER?
A home warranty can give a purchaser peace of mind. If anything catastrophic happens in the house, you are only financially liable for the deductible. So if the furnace goes out one evening and you just can't get it going (as long as it is maintained and not abused) you would call the warranty company and they would send out a technician to fix/repair/replace the furnace depending on the problem. So yes, if the furnace did indeed blow up (heat exchanger) you … (4 comments)

elk grove village il: 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 village il: Roselle Illinois - 6 Common Problems that Spook Buyers - Lyn Sims (847)230-7324 RE/MAX Suburban - 07/06/08 02:24 PM
Today's potential home buyers with lots of homes to choose from can be easily spooked by disclosures and the results of property inspections - even when the shortcomings are typical for homes of a certain age.In a jittery market such as this one, it's critical to give buyers tools and knowledge so they can decide which problems are serious.Agents do represent their clients but I always insist that my clients accompany the home inspector so they can put the problems in perspective. Anything a handyman or an electrician could fix in a few hours isn't really worth worrying about! Buyers should be there to … (2 comments)
