“You don’t understand, there is a body in the basement”……

access_timeApril 23, 2015personMark and Jennifer Monge

 I, quite literally, could give you a thousand reasons why I love my job, and most of them would be centered around the great people we work with and our clients. Occasionally we run across a scammer that “lifts” info on a house we would have for sale, and then reposts it on Craigslist as […]

If you build it….they will come

access_timeMarch 11, 2015personMark and Jennifer Monge

There is so much exciting news going on around Peoria I don’t know where to start. The temps are finally getting above freezing and are expected to hit 60 degrees today-so time to break out the grills and flip flops. How about this for starters…. Louisville Slugger is building a brand new state of the […]

Another example of Zillow getting it wrong….

access_timeJanuary 13, 2015personMark and Jennifer Monge

You may often hear Realtors warn about some of the things you might read on Zillow. It usually pertains to their accuracy and their idea of a homes value with the estimates, or rather, their Zestimate. The following is a new one though…someone passed this along to me and it’s Zillow’s latest post predicting what […]

Beer or yoga…yoga or beer…decisions, decision, decisions.

  Jennifer loves yoga, especially hot yoga, especially when it’s -5 degrees outside. I, myself, don’t mind an occasional microbew every now and then. Well, it appears the universe’s have collided and I don’t have any further excuses to not try out a little yoga session. The Peoria Yoga Projekt and the Peoria Brewing Company, […]

Hot Market? Cold Market?

access_timeJanuary 8, 2015personMark and Jennifer Monge

  As I write this, the temperature is hovering around zero with a windchill well below. Does that make the market cold? Freezing cold? Well, the temps may be cold but I do feel there is a warming trend coming to the market. We are getting pretty excited with the number of calls coming in […]

One of the best (worst?) real estate ad ever written.

access_timeDecember 29, 2014personMark and Jennifer Monge

I did not write the following ad, for the above referenced pink palace, but some day I think I’d like to. Below is an actual transcript for the actual house in the picture above.  Think this house is some sort of joke? Think again, chief. This house should only be purchased by the manliest of […]

Quick Market Update for the local Peoria area-for November

access_timeDecember 29, 2014personMark and Jennifer Monge

If you have ever been on the receiving end of one of my emails, you know it’s never quick or short. I don’t expect this entry to be any different. We are a little behind on posting commentary on the local market. The end of Nov stats came out about 2 weeks ago and here […]

Ready for Roller Coaster Open House?

We have often wondered what we could do to make an open house or showing more exciting. This Dutch company I think has nailed it. Check out the roller coaster they built that takes prospective clients through the home!
