Coldwell Banker Honig-Bell Moving

The end of October has finally arrived.  And the Coldwell Banker Honig-Bell acquisition of the Sycamore ERA Elite office is in full swing now.  Starting next week we will be at our new location at 1957 Dekalb Ave in Sycamore.  I look forward to the new, larger location. 

The market is starting to pick up again after a slow end of summer.  Many new listings are coming on the market and many existing homes are getting contracts.  If you are looking to sell now is as good as time as any.  Contrary to popular belief there are buyer looking to buy even in the winter months.

I hope everyone enjoys their Halloween and gets an opportunity to head out to Sycamore Pumpkin Fest this weekend.

4 WAYS TENANTS LOSE MONEY

Ah, the joys of renting! No property taxes, no maintenance worries, and the freedom to pack up and move when you feel like it. But let’s be real—renting isn’t always a walk in the park. Despite the perks, many tenants find themselves losing money in ways that could be totally avoided. Yep, we’re talking about those “gotcha!” moments that have you screaming, “I wish I knew this sooner!” So, sit back, grab a cup of coffee, and let’s dive into the three main ways tenants lose money. 1.

Fail to read this, and you might end up paying for months you didn’t intend t...

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Happy New Year to All! I love looking back at 2010 to see all the great things that have happened.  The year was filled with ups and downs.  But with every down there must be an up to follow.  I hope that your year was filled with great times spent with family and friends.  One of the most rewarding things about being a Realtor is being able to meet new people and help them with the buying or selling of a home.  The satisfaction that I feel personally when the right home is found is indescribable. Every time I meet someone new I feel my life has been blessed by their presence. I hope that 2011 will be just as full at 2010.  I wish everyone the best of luck and may all your dreams and wishes come true!

Anyone who lives here or just passes through can appreciate the charm and personality of this small town complete with a historic and thriving downtown district. And now they have been recognized nationwide.

Sycamore is in the company of many cities that are in warmer climates such as Arizona, California, Hawaii and Florida just to name a few.
