I had lunch with a friend today and we were discussing internet advertising and how far it can reach versus print advertising and it's limitations. Of course we were talking real estate but the principal applies to much more. Consider the upcoming Black Friday. Many buyers will do research online, go shopping on Friday or the new trend forget Friday and shop on "Cyber Monday" online. Back to real estate: There is no doubt as each year passes, more real estate buyers and sellers are using the internet in their pre-buying or selling research. Sellers want to know what market conditions are like and with many local agents providing regular market reports on their blogs, this information is freely available, published by Realtors and Brokers online with charts and graphs to back up the "spe...

Barrington Hills Real Estate Agent Answers "When Should I List My Home?" When should I list my Barrington Hills real estate with my agent? It's only January, there is still a lot of snow on the ground and it is still cold. Are there really any buyers looking at this time of year? As your Barrington Hills real estate agent I would first say that this does depend on what your personal moving goals are and this really is the first thing I would want to discuss with you. Once we have established what your home moving time-frame is we can decide on a plan of action for you and your Barrington Hills property. Now we can address the other two aspects to the question. First let's deal with the weather. Yes it is cold, snow is on the ground and spring is at least three months away. Granted March...

Barrington Hills-Algonquin-N River Road-Fox River Front Homes For Sale N River Road runs alongside the Fox River in Barrington Hills and Algonquin. There does seem to be more than the usual amount of river front homes for sale on N River Rd but then I suppose that is true of all of Barrington Hills and Algonquin. The photo of Fox River taken from the north side in Algonquin today under gray skys is a little choppy. Homes on the other side are well hidden by the new spring growth on the trees and only a couple can be seen. This is the part of N River Road that is in Algonquin and is close to Route 62. Is a river front home in your future? Would a home on N River Rd in Barrington Hills or Algonquin suit you?  Here are some considerations. Homes on N River Rd have direct access to Fox Rive...

Recently I had the priviledge of spending most of my day with an outstanding guy.  I have heard him say "Give me a nail gun and a saw and I can do anything".  Well, I believe it! Marshal Gibson of Marshal Construction comes highly recommended by some pretty impressive folks.  One of his clients has this to say: "BEST contractor in Chicagoland" "I had the pleasure of having the BEST contractor in Chicagoland work on my home in North Barrington. Marshal Gibson is ethical, dependable, honors his word, and does incredible work. Marshall is meticulous to a fault and very creative about what one should do when building a new home and/or remodeling or enhancing an existing home. Without hesitation I recommend Marshal Gibson for any and all construction work one needs done and personally use hi...

Barrington Hills 60010-HALO-A Dark Sky Community or Not? If you have driven through Barrington Hills lately you must have seen the yellow HALO signs. What are they all about? If you have not heard there are members of the community and board of trustees that want Barrington Hills to become a member of The International Dark Sky Association. A community that joins becomes known as a Dark Sky Community. Simply the community reduces it's use of lights to benefit science, the environment and the residents. The proposed ordinance calls for minimizing unnecessary outdoor lighting. It has limitations on lumens per acre, the direction lights are pointed and the number of hours lights can remain on. What about the cost? Is it fair to Barrington Hills residents to make them pay for changes to the...

A typical lot size is 5 acres but you can get more or less. Some of the farms here have 600+ acres with thoroughbred breeding facilities, other smaller establishments offer boarding and riding lessons. Barrington Hills ...
