Highland Park High School Highland Park ILFootloose is coming to Highland Park High School in Highland Park IL in February.

This year's Musical at Highland Park High School is Footloose.  This musical production is about a boy who moves from Chicago to a small farm town.  When Ren, the teenage boy, arrives to his new town he realizes that many things are different in this small town.  The major difference is that he has moved to a town where rock music and dancing are illegal. Come see  Ren's courage and determination and what he does  to transform this small farm town.

This fabulous HPHS production is right around the corner - February 10-12, 2011 at 7:30 p.m. The cost per ticket is $10.00.  Tickets can be reserved from January 31-February 6 by calling the ticket hot line (224)765-2386.

Don't miss this wonderful production - I'm looking forward to attending and seeing the talent of the High School students - many which I know.

Simple tips when selling your home in Highland Park IL

selling your home in highland park ilSimple tips when selling your home in Highland Park IL.   It's the simple things that do not have much cost affiliated to them that often times make a big difference to a potential buyer.  I found the  following post ~ If you are selling, it may be time to come out of the closet ~ a valuable one.  If you are thinking of selling your home in Highland Park IL  - give me a call.  We will come up with a plan that is specific to your home to make it look its best!

Via Valerie Zinger (Royal Lepage Gale Ottawa-Ontario-Canada):

Your front hall closet is going to be viewed when Buyers come to look at your house.  Most people have the front hall closet packed tight with coats and jackets, boots, shoes, gym bags, school back packs, dog paraphernalia and some other pretty odd assortment of things. Before you put your house on the market, de clutter the closet. 

  • Buy a box of wooden hangers (they look solid and substantial while costing less than a dollar each). 
  • Take out all the coats and jackets and choose one or two for each person in the house - one if there is little space, two if there is more room. 
  • Take out anything that is not coat, boot, scarf and glove related.  Find a different place in the house for these items. 
  • If it summer, take out the winter coats and vica versa.  You can pack your seasonal coats and outerwear now, in anticipation of the move.  You might take this opportunity to have your coats cleaned and/or given to the Salvation Army.
  • When everything is out of the closet, sweep and wash it. 
  • Toss the bent hangers and mismatched mittens. 
  • Find a new home for your dozen purses, vacuum cleaner and the kitty litter bag. 

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to make your front closet clean, neat and look as spacious as possible. 

Hang on to your Buyers.

Highland Park IL Real Estate Market Update for 2010Highland Park IL Real Estate Market Update for 2010

2010 has come to an end - what will 2011 bring? As an active REALTOR I think that it is premature to forecast 2011.  The opinions are all over the board - some   believe that it will be similar to 2010, others fear it will be worse and some think that it will be a very good Spring Market.

Snowflake Club - Offers Ski and Snowboard Trips for Kids Living on Chicago's North Shore

Snowflake Club - Offers  Ski and Snowboard Trips for Kids Living on Chicago's North Shore.

The Snowflake Club is a well organized program offering kids between 8-16 an opportunity to ski or snowboard on the weekends.  This is a wonderful program which is offered by Williams Ski & Patio.  If your kids enjoy skiing or snowboarding as much as my two boys then I recommend checking out the snowflake club for your kids.

This is a well run program which includes adult supervision, ski/board instruction and bus service on coach buses for kids between 8-16. There are five locations for bus stops - Deerfield, Highland Park, Kenilworth, Lake Forest and Wilmette.   Various trips are available for boarding or skiing at  different ski areas like Alpine Valley, Wilmot Mountain, Cascade, Devils Head, and Chestnut.  I've got one son off to Cascade already and the other one is headed to Wilmot today.

For more information check out the Snowflake Club.  Our boys really love boarding, having an opportunity to hit the slopes on the weekends is something they love.   We  think it's a well run and fun program for them.  Just another great reason to consider living on Chicago's North Shore.
