5 Ways to Ring in the New Year on Chicago's North Shore

The new year is now just a mere days away, so why not start planning how you'll ring in 2017 on Chicago's North Shore? There are dozens of ways to celebrate the new year in Winnetka, Glencoe, Deerfield, Highland Park, Northbrook and the surrounding areas and as your local real estate expert, I'm happy to share a few of them with you below!

It's a Wonderful Life: Live Radio Play
December 30, 2016
Oil Lamp Theater, Glenview IL

This classic North Shore event is back again this year! Attend the show for complimentary cookies and hot chocolate and witness a cast of six actors reenact the popular It's a Wonderful Life story with the help of only a sound effects artist— as though it is Christmas Eve 1946 at WBFR Radio.

New Year's Eve at Pinstripes
December 31, 2016
Pinstripes, Northbrook IL

Head out to Pinstripes to watch two balloon drops, the first beginning at 8 PM (ideal for the kids!) and the second at midnight. There will be complimentary champagne, party favors and live music for all to enjoy. You can also try your hand at the pins as both the bowling lanes and bocce courts will be open!

New Year's Eve Bash
December 31, 2016
Kohl Children's Museum, Glenview IL

One entire wing of the museum will be transformed into a giant Times Square style party with a huge confetti drop to ring in the new year! The event lineup also includes a children's concert with Wendy Morgan & DB, DJ and dance party, hat making and horns, free hair styling, family photos and more! Kids under 12 months are free.

New Year's Day Skate
January 1, 2017
Winnetka Ice Arena, Winnetka IL

The holiday season may be coming to an end, but the winter fun is still alive and well in Winnetka! Celebrate the new year with an open skate around the ice arena. Admission is $2 and skate rentals are $3.50.

Wonderland Express
Through January 2, 2017
Chicago Botanic Garden, Glencoe IL

Kick off the new year on the North Shore with this light show, greenhouse extravaganza, railroad garden and more! Here you can find the city of Chicago in miniature form, explore while it magically snows indoors and take in every holiday exhibition before it ends on January 2! This display has been called one of the Chicago area's top holiday "must-see's," so you won't want to miss it!

The new year is also an excellent time to consider moving to a new home in Winnetka, Glencoe, Deerfield, Highland Park, Northbrook and beyond! Give me a call today for more information about available properties and next steps in the buying process.

Have a safe and happy new year!

Why You Shouldn't Wait Until Spring to Sell Your Winnetka, Deerfield, Glencoe IL Home

The question on many North Shore homeowner minds right now is whether or not to sell this winter or wait for better weather in the spring. It may be tempting to want to wait until the warmer months to list, after all more buyers will be out and about in the spring, right? That is not always the case!

There are many perks to selling your Winnetka, Glencoe, Deerfield, Northbrook, Highland Park area home this winter, without waiting until spring, and I've listed a few of them below.

There will be more competition in spring
Listing your home now allows you to avoid the wave of homeowners that will sell in the coming months. Not only will you be able to take advantage of rising home prices, but you can put your home on the center stage with fewer properties to overwhelm a buyer's decision.

Interest rates are rising
The Fed did just issue an interest rate hike this past week and by waiting to sell and move on, you never know what rates will look like. Selling your home now and moving on to a new property will allow you to lock in a lower rate than you might see in the spring.

Buyers are serious now
Think about it— many buyers in today's real estate market may be highly motivated to close due to a new job position. And as many jobs begin after the first of the year, buyers will be ready to purchase a new home now!

Buyers look constantly
With technology like smartphones, tablets, computers and the like, buyers no longer shop for homes by just driving by, reading the newspaper, or noticing a For Sale sign pop up in the neighborhood. Buyers are constantly browsing available homes online, therefore selling in the winter offers just as many opportunities!

If you're questioning whether now is the best time to sell your North Shore home, do not hesitate to give me a call! I am happy to provide more information on the current real estate market, available properties and what you can do to make your property more appealing to buyers.

I look forward to hearing from you!

How to Stage Your Winnetka, Glencoe, Deerfield IL Home for the Holidays

Did you know that homes tend to show better during the holiday season? It's true! The cozy feelings you feel over these chilly winter months can actually help you sell your home as North Shore buyers feel them too!

But how can you be sure you make an impact and take full advantage of everything the holiday season has to offer home sellers? As your North Shore real estate expert, I've included a few ways to successfully stage your home for the holidays below:

Stick to a color scheme
The holidays may tempt you to overdo it on the decor, with flashing colored lights outside, white lights on the tree and a variety of different ornaments, but don't get carried away. Sticking to a color scheme like metallics or reds or greens inside your North Shore home can feel festive without coming across as showy or busy.

Skip the outlandish outdoor decor
Does your neighbor have a giant, inflatable Santa towering over your yard? Or perhaps a swirling snow globe featuring Frosty himself stares at you from across the street? No matter, if you're selling your home in Glencoe, Winnetka, Highland Park, Deerfield, Northbrook or the surrounding areas, you will want to skip these large displays as they can turn off buyers.

Set the table
The holidays are a time for hosting, entertaining and gathering— many times over the table! Set your table with a simple holiday centerpiece like a garland table runner and adorn it with candles. Buyers who visit during this time will be able to envision themselves hosting future holidays and could just fall in love!

Make the mantel merry
A fireplace is an excellent focal point for your North Shore home and what's more, a selling point for local buyers! If you have one, consider an elegant garland draped across the mantel or again, stockings hung in a monochromatic color scheme. This is a great place to add holiday magic, but resist the urge to make it too complicated.

If you have more questions about selling your home in Glencoe, Winnetka, Highland Park, Deerfield, Northbrook or the surrounding Chicagoland areas this time of year, I am here to help! Give me a call today!

What to Do When Visiting Open Houses in Winnetka, Glencoe, Deerfield, Highland Park, Northbrook IL

You've just started house-hunting on Chicago's North Shore and you're likely browsing available homes online, clicking through listing photo after listing photo. Once you've found a property that grabs your interest, you will either arrange for your real estate agent to set up a showing or you will make plans to visit an upcoming open house being held at the home. But that doesn't mean you can just walk in and act like you own the place!

There are a few etiquette rules to follow when visiting open houses in the area and I've included the most important below:

Use open houses to learn the ropes
Just because you're visiting an open house in the area doesn't mean you're obligated to buy. In fact, open houses are a great time to get a feel for the market and what you can get for your money in a given location. Feel free to visit open houses to get a sense of what you're in for as you begin to navigate the market.

You don't have to sign in
Many real estate agents will set out a sign-in sheet for attendees at open houses, but you do not need to give away your information. Of course, it is always courteous of a buyer to greet the agent and introduce yourself, especially if you're interested in the home. This could come in handy later if you make an offer!

Ask questions
Do not be afraid to ask questions as they arise! You can ask questions like "Why are they selling?" or "Have you had a lot of showings?" to get a feel for the interest in the home. You can also ask how long the home has been on the market. The seller's agent should always be willing to answer these common questions!

Watch the other buyers
You can also gauge interest in a North Shore home by watching the other buyers at an open house. Seeing a lot of people walk in and leave quickly? That could be a sign there is something wrong with the property. Are buyers sticking around to ask questions or speak with their spouses in private? That could mean the property won't last long!

Contact me today for more information about available homes in the Winnetka, Glencoe, Deerfield, Highland Park, or Northbrook areas. With mortgage rates still hovering around historic lows, now is a great time to purchase your dream home on the North Shore!

I look forward to hearing from you!

Your Guide to Saving Energy in Your North Shore Chicago Home This Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving has arrived on Chicago's North Shore! It's time to start prepping your turkey, setting your holiday table and welcoming friends and family inside for the big Thanksgiving feast. But as you begin to bake and roast and sauté the long weekend away, there are a few adjustments you may like to make in order to keep energy costs down.

As your North Shore real estate expert, I'm sharing the following five tips for saving energy in your Winnetka, Glencoe, Deerfield, Highland Park, and Northbrook area home this Thanksgiving:

Keep the oven door closed
You may be tempted to peek in on your pumpkin pie time and time again, but every time you open that oven door, the temperature is reduced by as much as 25 degrees! Instead, consider using the oven light and you may just find you're able to plate your feast just a little sooner.

Turn down the heat
All of your holiday baking and cooking over the next few days will put off more heat than you know in your North Shore home. Head to the thermostat to turn down the temperature as your oven will do the job of warming up your guests and you can save on energy costs!

Use glass or ceramic pans
Did you know that these types of dishes retain heat so well that they will continue to cook your food even after they're out of the oven? By sticking to these when preparing your Thanksgiving meal, you can turn down your oven by up to 25 degrees and still see the same results!

Install a dimmer switch
You will likely be spending many hours in your Winnetka, Glencoe, Deerfield, Highland Park, and Northbrook area dining room this holiday season, so consider installing a dimmer switch on the main light fixture. This is an inexpensive project and can double the light bulb's lifespan just by dimming its brightness by 10 percent!

Use the dishwasher
Did you know that hand-washing your dishes uses more water than your dishwasher? Stick to hand-washing only the dishes that cannot be placed in the dishwasher and always make sure you have a full load before pressing start on that wash cycle. You can also leave the door open to let your dishes air dry and save the energy used during the heat cycle.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving! And as always, do not hesitate to reach out with any questions about buying or selling a home on Chicago's North Shore!

Real Estate Terms Every North Shore Buyer and Seller Should Know

No matter if you're buying a home or selling your property on Chicago's North Shore, you will undoubtedly run into a few real estate terms that you may not be familiar with. You could hear these used by your lender, your real estate agent or any of the parties involved in the real estate transaction.

But not to worry! As your local North Shore real estate expert, I'm happy to define a few of the essential terms you will hear throughout the process of buying and selling a home. Take a look through the glossary below and keep them in mind as you navigate the market:

APR
Stands for annual percentage rate and refers to the interest rate associated with your mortgage in Northbrook, Glencoe, Deerfield, Winnetka, Highland Park and the surrounding areas.

ARM
Stands for adjustable rate mortgage and refers to the type of loan whose rate changes after a specific amount of time or as market conditions change.

DTI
Stands for debt to income ratio and refers to the figure that many lenders will use to determine a buyer's eligibility for a mortgage. You can calculate your DTI by weighing all of your monthly debts, including credit cards and auto loans, against your monthly income.

PMI
Stands for private mortgage insurance. This applies to those North Shore buyers who put down less than 20 percent on a new home in Northbrook, Glencoe, Deerfield, Winnetka, and Highland Park.

HOA
Stands for homeowners' association. Homes and condominiums found within these communities typically have monthly dues or fees that cover maintenance, landscaping and snow removal.

Fixed Rate Mortgage
A fixed-rate mortgage unlike an adjustable rate mortgage that we discussed earlier has one rate that applies throughout the life of the loan. This type of mortgage does not have a rate that changes with market conditions.

Escrow
A third party is often involved in larger purchases to manage the funds associated with the transaction. Your money for a real estate purchase is held in an escrow account to show the seller that the funds are available.

Equity
If you're a homeowner on the North Shore, you've likely heard this term which refers to the amount of ownership you have in the property. You can find this figure by calculating what you owe on your mortgage and subtracting from its market value.

Appraisal
This is the process through which the value of your home is determined. Many lenders will want to know this figure before they determine how much to loan you via your mortgage to ensure the loan amount does not exceed the value.

Closing Costs
These costs include appraisal fees, real estate agent fees, loan origination fees, escrow fees, credit check fees and more. Typically paid by the buyer, a portion or all of the closing costs can sometimes be negotiated to be paid by the seller.

Have you heard other real estate terms that you're unsure about during your home buying or selling journey thus far? Want more information about the current real estate market on Chicago's North Shore? Give me a call today!

4 Things to Expect From Your North Shore Chicago Real Estate Agent When Buying A Home

When buying a home on Chicago's North Shore, the last thing you should be worrying about is whether or not you chose the right real estate agent. After all, it is the agent's job to walk you through the process and put their expertise to work. But do you know what to really expect from your agent?

As your North Shore real estate expert, I'm sharing four things you can expect from your agent when buying a home in Northbrook, Glencoe, Deerfield, Winnetka, Highland Park and the surrounding areas:

They will make it as easy as possible
Buying a home in Northbrook, Glencoe, Deerfield, Winnetka, Highland Park can come with its fair share of obstacles, but it is your agent's duty to eliminate them for you! The right agent will know which challenges can arise at what time and will negotiate on your behalf to make the process run as smoothly as possible.

They will find you the right home
It is no secret that inventory is limited in today's real estate market. However, your real estate agent will take into account your needs and deciding factors for moving and use them to find the best property. If there is an issue that will bar you from achieving your homebuyer goals, your agent will talk it through with you and discuss next steps.

They will honor your timeline
Many homebuyers today have a timeline in which they'd like to purchase and settle into a new home on Chicago's North Shore. For instance, if you're shopping for a home now, maybe it's because you want to be moved before the holidays. Your agent cannot always control the date of your move or speed up the loan approval process, but they will do everything in their power to honor your wishes and make it happen if possible.

They will be honest about prices
When you make an offer on a home, it is your agent's responsibility to talk over how they plan to have that price accepted by both seller and bank. You should trust your agent enough to help you formulate the best offer up front, being honest about what price may or may not win in the end.

Have more questions about what a real estate agent can do for you or the current market? Give me a call today! I'm here to help!

Getting Your North Shore Home Ready for Halloween

Can you believe Halloween is just a few days away? You may have started carving your pumpkins to set out as spooky decor and filling your candy bowl for trick or treaters— but what about making sure you have enough lighting outside? There are certain tasks that North Shore homeowners tend to forget on Halloween night that can really boost the safety factor as little ghosts and goblins make their way to your door.

Below are four must-do's this week—or weekend—as you prepare to welcome trick or treaters in Glencoe, Deerfield, Winnetka, Highland Park, Northbrook and beyond!

Avoid trips and falls
Kids can get excited about the Halloween season and of course, the candy, so much that they make a dash toward your door. Remove any obstacles in their way such as tree branches, sticks, exposed roots in the ground, extension cords, and cracks in the driveway or sidewalk. If some of these are not so quickly removed, block access to the area to ensure kids don't trip and fall!

Light up the night
A dimly-lit North Shore home may contribute to the vibe of the holiday, but it's just not the safest option for neighborhood children. But before you go installing additional lighting outside your home, remember you can just as easily use tea lights, illuminated pumpkins and decor, porch lights and luminaries to light up your pathways.

Stay away from open flames
Candles may be a long-standing tradition when it comes to lighting your jack-o-lanterns, but that doesn't mean you need to continue them. In fact, LED lights are a much safer option and will help you avoid chances of fire. If you use flammable decor such as cornstalks or hay, you should also be certain they are far from fire sources and even hot light bulbs.

Keep your pets calm and comfortable
Your pets may love children, but their costumes can frighten some pets! Keep your pets in a safe and secure room in your North Shore home while trick or treating is in play so they can remain comfortable and calm.

Want more information about improving your North Shore home to sell this year? I'm here to help! Contact me today for more information about the real estate market and selling your home in Glencoe, Deerfield, Winnetka, Highland Park, Northbrook and the surrounding areas!

Have a happy and safe Halloween!

North Shore Homeowner Home Security Tips to Follow This Fall

Whether you're a new homeowner on Chicago's North Shore or have lived in the same place for decades, home security remains an important issue. Simply forgetting to close the garage door at night or even not changing the locks after you've moved in can put you in a vulnerable state, regardless of where you live.

As your North Shore real estate expert, I've listed five home security tips to follow this fall—and all year long!

Research before you buy
Before you buy a home, research the neighborhood extensively. Know what you're getting into, what the homes are like in the neighborhood, the noise, and everything in between. The more you know about an area, the fewer surprises you will have after you have keys in hand.

Meet the neighbors
New homeowners and long-time homeowners alike should get to know their neighbors! Get involved in neighborhood watch programs, talk with them about local crime and reports of anything out of the ordinary. You can also, if you feel comfortable, ask neighbors to watch over your home if you go out of town or have to leave unexpectedly.

Keep a list of security services
Regardless if you've joined a neighborhood watch, you will want to have a list handy of all local security services. Make a plan of what to do if something suspicious comes up, who to contact and their phone numbers. Post this in a common place where all members of your home can see or find it.

Pay attention to prevention
There are many things you can do to prevent theft in your home. For instance, close all curtains at night, avoid showing any valuables through open windows, do not place packaging of valuables on curb or near trash, lock all doors before you leave the house, close the garage door and be mindful of who has a key to your home.

Consider installing a home security system
You don't have to break the bank to install a security system in your Glencoe, Winnetka, Northbrook, Deerfield and Highland Park home. Shop around for the best system that provides the peace of mind you're looking for— monitoring on your phone while you're away perhaps. You can also install a wireless alarm system yourself without paying for installation. What's more, the home security sign in the front yard is often enough to keep burglars away!

You can count on me to help you find the best home in the Glencoe, Winnetka, Northbrook, Deerfield and Highland Park areas this year. Give me a call today for more information!
