At least the realtors and landlords know that in the economic time with which we find ourselves, getting 100% qualified renters with clean credit: is not commonplace. Many unfortunate people have fallen prey to the economic turn that has thrown our county into a tail spin. And those folks are not what this blog is about.
Just because someone has an unfortunate event, doesn't mean that you have to fall prey to the
"Serial Stealer".
Families who move around and continue to rent when they have no intentions of paying. I dealt with such people for 4 years - Only paid on time and in full, twice in the period that they lived in my property. And with the constant flow of additional squatters, the untold wear and tear: well it is hard to put in words.
Heads up Carol Stream..............you can go to DuPage County and run their social security number and see whether there are judgements against a potential renter, or what their past history is. The eviction process is long and not healthy for the landlord. Do your due dilligence. The renter can stay in the property for many weeks without paying....Run the Social Security numbers of all renters...and go to the last known address that they lived...and speak in person with the landlord. Check the tax records on the property that they lived in most recently and contact that person. Tax records are accessible through the county assessors office. If they don't pay on time.....serve the 5 day notice immediately...
Don't fall into the trap that so many have. You are renting your home so that you can have someone cover the expenses.....not make things worse...
If you need help with understanding how to check a potential renters background, please contact me.....It is rumored that the people to which I am referring, are out there again ready to rent your property..

It has been reported by the Associated Press that the newly combined MillerCoors LLC company has signed a 15 year lease in Chicago's West Loop, commencing in June 2009. They will take over approximately 130,000 square feet of office space. 400 employees and senior executives, will take up business at this new location.
Some will be relocated from the SABMiller's US Headquarters in Milwaukee, Wisc and others will come from Golden Colorado which houses the Molson Coors Headquarters. 150 to 175 workers from each location will be our new Illinois residents. Significant operations will still remain in the Wisconsin and Colorado facilities.

There had to be a better way --- someone was telling me that with everyone home for Thanksgiving and the fact that they use a ton of dishes each day, their poor dishwasher and their poor wallet were screaming for help. (sorry dishwasher...I can't help you)
But I came across a great little website that has tips for many different way to create your home at home cleaners, crafts, dog biscuit recipes, etc.
I made the dishwasher detergent with 1 cup of Baking soda and 1 cup of Borax. They do encourage putting vinegar in the rinse cycle, or if you wish, some essential oils.. (maybe that is the Lemony Fresh idea)
I personally had tried to the make at home dog biscuits before..and my dog really liked them. Made from Peanut Butter and Wheat flour.. I just find that they don't keep as long as store bought. But, I am going to try and freeze some for a later date.
check it out and share the info with your friends. Some homemade gifts might be a great way of saving this holiday.
If you appreciate this information or if you have some wonderful tips of your own, please submit to
LauraResnick@REMAX.net and I'll post on a forthcoming blog.

Think about the New Year now and plan ahead.... Alot of people believe that changes are going to happen when the new administration is inaugurated. I happen to agree.
Instead of waiting and procrastinating with a "Wait and See Attitude" take charge of your finances and get them in order. This is THE BEST TIME TO BUY in more than decades.. Have your credit checked to see if there are any reportings that may be on it, that are not yours, no longer applicable, incorrect? Get these things taken care of in advance, so you are ready to be off and running - if you are in the mode of "Waiting" right now.
Loan programs change every day, so be sure that what you have been investigating, is going to be available next year. FHA is changing downpayment requirements - make sure that you and your loan officer know what you are planning. Keep close contact with them... Dont go nutty trying to get everything done at the last minute..

I have been pursued several times, by a particular site, to become listed as a real estate agent to represent the Gay and Lesbian Community. As much as I would like to join and pay the fee to be listed on any site, (which is not that much money - but that is not the issue) I can't imagine that simply making myself available to ALL groups of people would not be just as good. Whether you have specific religious beliefs other than mine, have a different skin color than mine, different sexual preference than mine: My Job is to find your best possible home. To all of you potential customers, I want your busines and desire to work for you and with you. Please feel free to contact me. I await your call. There are also rules and regulations against discriminating against any particular group----and if you feel that you have been discrimnated against, there are avenues to file your complaint.
