Willow Road Bottleneck in Northfield - Can It Ever Be Solved? - 09/28/09 05:25 PM
Many years ago when I lived in my very first apartment in South Pasadena in California, my house was just 1/2 block away from a street that was destined to become an extension of the Long Beach Freeway.  The street was called Meridian and those of us who traveled the area knew it was long overdue but also a shame since the street sliced through a nice leafy suburb with pretty homes.  To this day, the extension has not been built because of strong, vehement actually, opposition to it.
Fast forward to today and the scene is repeating itself in the … (1 comments)

So you want to save the commission? - 09/22/09 11:28 AM

Via Dr. Chantal Saucier (Keller Williams Realty Acadiana):
One comment we often hear as real estate professionals is "I'm selling my home myself to save the commission." That is fine so long as you don't think that your potential buyers don't know that.

North Shore Yoga - A Good Place to Unwind in Northfield - 09/02/09 05:02 PM
North Shore Yoga is a good place to unwind, stretch out and awaken your mind, body and spirit.  Tucked away in a second story office suite on Happ Road in Northfield, teacher and owner Sharyn Galindo helps clients to achieve their fullest potential - both physically and spiritually.
As an avid runner for over 30 years myself, I was surprised to hear that Sharyn has given up participating in marathons and triathalons to devote herself to yoga.  Although she still occasionally runs and walks and does some weight work, she discovered that yoga provides most of her workout and keeps her … (0 comments)

The August real estate sales for Winnetka,Wilmette, Northfield, Kenilworth and Glencoe have dipped and jumped like a roller coaster.  From month to month there is no steady increase or decrease that I can make any predictions about.
