Saturday, March 14th
A tradition since 1962 on the morning of the annual St. Patrick's Day Parade - snag your spot along Upper Wacker Drive for the best sights! The fun starts at 10:00am when the Chicago Journeymen Plumbers Local Union 130 will dye the Chicago River green!
The 71st annual St Patrick’s Day Parade will run along Columbus Drive between Monroe Street and Balbo Drive. Dress warm – there’s a chance of snow!
Pull out the ladder and check your roof and gutters for debris. If someone is looking at your home on a rainy day you don’t want them being soaked by overflowing gutters!
Don’t be surprised on inspection day! Make sure to have your air conditioner serviced prior to selling – it’s a great selling point too!
Make sure your home is flooded in all of the natural light possible! If you have a lot of windows or you are in a 2-story home it is best to hire a professional.
Show off your sidewalks, decks, porches and all exterior surfaces! Your outdoor spaces are some of your biggest selling points so don’t overlook them.
Spring means it’s time to turn outdoor water back on and if you are planning to list your home you need to test auto timers and look at sprinkler heads to make sure they are up, undamaged and functioning property.
Tackle the remaining debris from over the winter and clean out all of your flower beds. Make sure the entryway of your home is inviting!
We are always so humbled to hear the wonderful things that our clients have to say about us and we wanted to take the opportunity to share a few of our reviews with our followers.
“We cannot recommend Jane highly enough! As first-time homebuyers relocating from out of state, we were nervous about navigating the process – especially in a competitive market like Glen Ellyn. Jane’s patience, knowledge, and availability made all the difference. She took the time to explain every step and answer all our questions (no matter how small). Her expertise helped us craft a winning offer on our dream home, and we felt supported from start to finish.” ~Google Business
Buying a home in Illinois while living out of state could have been an incredibly stressful process for us, but Michelle worked to help make it as easy as it could possibly have been, reassuring us through the whole process and allowing us to feel at ease making such a big decision. ~Zillow
“We felt so fortunate to work with Brian on the buy side and Kathy and Maureen on our sale. All three are a true dream team! We couldn’t be happier on both ends. Thank you for being a pleasure to work with!” ~ Realtor.com
We have a team of experienced professionals who regularly receive kudos and reviews from their appreciative clients and we thought it would be fun to share some of them every month. Thank you again to all of our clients, friends and family for putting your trust in us to do the job for you!
