A Wonderful Winnetka Welcome - 05/31/12 07:38 AM
A Wonderful Winnetka Welcome Last week my out-of-town clients moved into their beautiful new Winnekta home. As any family with four children might do, their top priority was an excellent school system. They did their due diligence by investigating other Chicagoland communities, but ultimately Winnetka was tough to beat.
And this family would be involved in all the grade schools because of their children's ages: the youngest to nursery school, one in Crow Island, one at Skokie School, and one heading to Washburn Junior High. I stopped by to visit on moving day with some edible treats and was talking … (1 comments)

Outdoor Grilling: Staying Safe - 05/29/12 03:41 PM
People in the Chicago area are not deterred by winter weather when it comes to grilling outside. Nevertheless, these safety pointers are a great reminder to be sure to use caution when doing extra grilling in the summer months.
Via Gene Mundt Mortgage Lender Chicagoland Mortgage Lending (815.277.4036 www.genemundt.com):
Outdoor Grilling: Staying Safe If you were like me, you were called into action to do some outdoor grilling over the holiday weekend. Seems like celebrations, especially during the summer months, are always accompanied by great food cooked on a grill. Grilling safely is obviously … (0 comments)

Winnetka Area Farmer's Markets Guide 2012 - 05/23/12 07:01 AM
Winnetka Area Farmer's Markets Guide 2012 It's that wonderful time of year again - fresh produce delivered to you via farmer's markets. In the northern Illinois area we have an abundance of fresh corn and tomatoes that are grown locally and are especially good later in the season. In addition to fruits and vegetables, many other vendors are setting up stalls and selling breads, jams, cheeses, sauces, jewelry, and landscaping plants. There is sure to be one close to you - I visit several throughout the area just to see what's available. Please note the different dates and times - not … (3 comments)

Romney's in the 'Hood - Winnetka - 05/15/12 03:39 PM
Romney's in the 'Hood - Winnetka Helicopters flying overhead, limos streaming down the street, and people dressed to the nines. What in the world is going on? We live near a church - is it a notable funeral? There's a school down the street - what could be that fancy there? Aha! A quick conversation with a limo driver - Mitt Romney is having a fund raising dinner down the street at a local well-known business magnate's home.
Is it true? We'll know when the evening news comes on. Something different than your usual Tuesday night in Winnetka.

Winnetka & the North Shore Ranked as Most FASHIONABLE - 05/11/12 08:53 AM
Winnetka and the North Shore Ranked as Most "FASHIONABLE" You knew it all along, didn't you? You didn't need a data collection agency called Bundle, to tell you that. After all, you have the credit card receipts to prove it. I know I do. So Winnetka and several other villages in the North Shore are ranked right up there with shopping meccas like Newport Beach, Beverly Hills, Greenwich (Conn), La Jolla, Malibu and Palm Beach, Florida. Based on households that had at least four transactions at top-end designer stores in the past 30 months - they selected the top 50 communities. … (14 comments)

Even Beautifully-Decorated Homes can Benefit from Staging - 05/07/12 10:21 AM
When I bring up the subject of staging, some sellers feel that their decorating style is being criticized. Not true at all!
A decorated house is for you to live in and enjoy - a staged home is meant to bring in a buyer who will live in and enjoy the home!
Via Maureen Bray ~ Home Stager Portland OR ~ Home Staging Portland Oregon (Room Solutions Home Staging Portland OR):
Even Beautifully-Decorated Homes can Benefit from Staging
As professional home stagers, we often explain that the difference between decorating and staging is that decorating is done for the homeowner's taste and … (0 comments)

April Real Estate Market Report - Winnetka, Wilmette, Kenilworth, Glencoe, Northfield - 05/01/12 01:08 PM
April Real Estate Market Report Winnetka, Wilmette, Kenilworth, Glencoe, and Northfield Homes sales have been solid - but I expect they will be even stronger in May and June. In April, 54 homes sold in Winnetka, Wilmette, Kenilworth, Glencoe and Northfield. BUT, there are 97 pendings and 163 under-contract currently in those five villages. While not all the under-contract homes will go to pending, there are a high number going under contract every day. One amazing statistic that I saw was that the list price to sell price ratio has come way down. During the past several years, that number was … (1 comments)
