Today I would like to turn our blog over to a guest poster….a client of ours who is closing on their current home and he came up with a top 10 list of things to remember when you are moving. Take it away Mike! As of 4:00 today, our house will no longer be “our […]

Well the Feb stats just rolled out as we are getting ready to head into the end of March. This data shows a continued slow start to 2014 in terms of sales, at least for the first two months of 2014 compared to the first two months of 2013. Some of this I don’t have […]

How to make a tough run even tougher…

This past Saturday I ran a trail race at the Sandridge State Park in Manito, IL, about a hour south of Peoria. I had picked the half marathon race option and at the time when I signed up a few months ago and thought, surely, by mid March the spring weather will be upon us […]

We would like to thank everyone that came out this past Friday for the Country Girls for a Cure benefit to raise funds for the Susan G. Komen Foundation! That’s Jennifer in the pink cowgirl hat in the middle. 🙂 We had some great raffles and prizes including Cardinal and Cubs tickets, Maui Jim […]

This has been one of the biggest questions we have not only gotten, but also that we have ourselves. When the tornado ripped through Washington this past November and wiped 100’s of homes off the map, logic would seem to dictate that most of the existing homes for sale in Washington would be snapped up.

Our son had to…I mean…wanted to produce a video for a school contest that dealt with the dangers of radon. We think he got pretty creative and we wanted to share it with you below. 🙂 Gotta turn that volume up to get the full effect. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9p80cGFpm7Y[/youtube]

New Rock Island Trail bridge in place!

While we don’t normally get excited about a new bridge, this is one I’ve personally been excited about for a while. It’s the last link to connect the Rock Island biking trail to other sections of the trail and everything should be complete this spring! This means that you can get on your bike or […]

I think a lot of sellers were waiting for March1st to roll around to get their homes on the market because yesterday was a busy day….not just for us-but overall there were more homes listed yesterday than other days recently. We are honored to present 5 new homes to the market. 438 Doubet is a […]

Really?

I’m thinking if you need a baby lock on a cabinet that is 6 feet up….your kid might be able to figure it out at that point. 🙂

Thank you to everyone for your comments and feedback on our new site. We feel we are still in the “beta” type testing of the roll out as we find new things to add and new changes we want to implement. For example, on the home page one of the buttons were were tinkering […]
