Many Schaumburg Subdivisions border parks or nature preserves and are convenient to shopping, transportation and other amenities. As much as Schaumburg is recognized as a center of business and commercial activity, the residents who make their homes here have a ture sense of community.

These are the scheduled 'Tea Parties' held near Schaumburg IL on the July 4th, 2009 weekend. When this originally started there was only one 'Party' to attend and that was in Lisle. So the movement is spreading and there are a few more areas that you can go to as your having fun on the July 4th weekend. I have included a link for all of Illinois also.

See you there around 12:00 or so!

A new Buyers Broker Business Model? Scared this buyer right away!

An out of town client recently contacted me regarding becoming his niece's buyers broker for a townhome in the area. After asking many prequalifying questions of this gentlemen I was a little hesitant to meet with him and his wife who would be leaving that day and flying back to Tennessee. A plethora of questions on representation and 'who works for who' so I decided that maybe a face to face meeting was just the thing we needed to clear things up.

So upon arrival at my office, the whole story unfolded about a new buyers broker program that these folks stumbled upon on the internet. They understood the concept of a buyers broker being a benefit for any buyer in today's market which was great. The program with the other agent was anything but simple! Here's what I could get from the other agents contract:

Doesn't really seem like a bad business practice does it? But ... the whole program was presented in such a confusing manner the buyer's uncle didn't want anything to do it. There were more additions and complications - If they do this 'I get this' thruout the entire agreement. They wanted to be compensated somehow 'above and beyond' the normal commission rate for the sale.

'KISS' - my business model. Keep It Simple Stupid. This is a classic example of an 'engineer type' writing up and complicating an all encompassing buyers agreement!

The buyer just didn't feel comfortable and didn't want the hassle. Isn't it complicated enough already?
