Dedicated Realtor Almost Freeze's at Open House!
The never ending winter here in the Chicagoland area did not stop this weekend.  I got lassoed into having an open house by a negotiator that was working on a short sale listing I have about 40 miles north of my office.  I won't tell you the story how I ended up with this listing....too long.  The negotiator insisted that if I followed her instructions we would get several offers during the weekend.  Well, despite my gut feeling, I went ahead and followed her instructions. 
I posted the listing all over the Internet...thanks Postlet!  I sent out emails to listing agents in the city where the property is listed and even past agents that showed it.  The home really is a great bargain.  Located in Keele Farm, a Kennedy Homes subdivision in Carpentersville next to Barrington Hills at only
$165,000 - 3 Bedroms, 1.5 baths, fireplace, eat-in kitchen, dining room and partially finished basement.  It has some issues - broken window in kitchen, water came into basement when they turned off electricity and sump pump didn't turn off (has been drained).  You get the picture...some cosmetic work and it's a nice home for the area.  Well, have you ever stayed in ... more
