Illinois Real Estate License Law Changes Again!

2010-02-15T16:30:19Z

Change is never easy but it is almost unavoidable. When we first obtained our real estate license almost 14 years ago, there were 2 kinds of licensing. There was Sales Associate and Broker. In order to be a Broker, you had to be a licensed Sales Associate for at least 1 year. For those who do not understand the difference, in simple terms, with a Brokers License there was more schooling required and you could own or manage a real estate brokerage. Then somewhere around 1999 or 2000 they did away with that prerequisite and one could obtain a Brokers License right away. Many disagreed with this move for the simple reason that one could own a brokerage without ever having any experience in the field of real estate.

As of 2010, the state of Illinois is doing away with the Sales Associate license. The 2 types of licensing is now, Broker and Broker Manager. Both requiring more school and more continuing education hours than the Sales Associate. Some believe this is a good move for Illinois. During the hot real estate market, many people got into real estate because they thought it was easy money. When the real estate market slowed down and the "bubble burst" many of those people got out because it was no longer "easy money." The real estate profession started "thinning out" so to speak. You actually had to work and spend money to make money. Many feel this will just add to the "thinning out" process.

What is your take on this change? What are the licensing laws in your state?

Carol Stream 2008 Halloween Trick or Treat Hours and Safety Tips

2008-10-19T15:05:02Z



The official Village of Carol Stream Trick or Treat hours are Friday, October 31st from 3-7pm.

To ensure a safe and fun Halloween, please review these safety tips with your children.

_________________________________________________________________________________________

                                     ~ SAFETY TIPS ~

Make sure your child's costume does not drag on the ground.

Make sure the costume fits your child and is brightly colored or has reflective markings.

Wear a watch. Preferably one that can be read in the dark.

Accessories like light swords and sticks should be soft and flexible.

Carry a flashlight!

Obey traffic signals. Cross streets between crosswalks or at intersections. If there are no sidewalks, walk on the parkways. DO NOT WALK IN THE STREETS!!

Walk, don't run! Stay on sidewalks! If there are no sidewalks, walk on the side of the road facing traffic.

Stay away from all animals you don't know. Especially, do not pet dogs you don't know.

Children should trick or treat with an adult.

Trick or treat in neighborhoods you are familiar with and avoid unfamiliar and unlit homes.

NEVER enter a home of someone you do not know for any reason!

Do not eat any candy until it has been inspected by an adult. Even if the candy is wrapped, it should be checked for openings, pin size holes or evidence of tampering. Any "homemade treat" should not be eaten unless it comes from someone you know.

                                                                     IF EVER IN DOUBT, THROW IT OUT!!!

I think we have all come to terms with the status of the real estate market. Like it or not, things could not continue in the direction they were going and now we have to work through the adjustment period. The Bloomingdale market still continues to have people moving in and out. Things have not come to a halt, just a snail's pace for now.

When looking to make a move, it is important to hire a real estate agent that knows the market in your area. Your agent must have an aggressive marketing plan and an extensive online presence.

Carol Stream Homes for Sale | What Has Been Going On in the 2008 Real Estate Market

2008-10-19T12:27:34Z

The holidays are fast approaching. The weather is changing, the colors are changing...and there is no denying, the real estate market has changed. We all have gone through an adjustment period.

The Carol Stream real estate market has changed. Pricing has changed, marketing times have changed. The way we as REALTORS do business has changed. It is important to choose an experienced, knowledgeable and aggressive real estate agent when you are considering buying or selling. Long gone are the days of just needing a sign in the ground and the help of the MLS (Multiple Listing Service) to sell a home. Your real estate agent must have an aggressive marketing plan with a wide range of online presence to be sure that all areas of "online shopping" is covered.
