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!!!

Rick and Lynn Orze | Carol Stream, IL RE/MAX Real Estate (RE/MAX All Pro) — Sun, 19 Oct 2008 12:52:15 -0500

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.

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.
