I Was Quoted in the Local Newspaper!

I know it’s a self centered headline, but that doesn’t happen very often, so what the heck.

After I published a blog post on Glen Ellyn and Wheaton 2008 sales, market times and total number of homes sold, Brian Hudson, reporter for the Glen Ellyn News and Wheaton Leader called me about my statistics. We had a wonderful talk and he asked if I would mind being quoted in his article. Well, no; please go ahead and quote me!

He later called me back and asked if I would be willing to find a buyer and do a photo shoot for the article. I called Kathy Quaid, another fabulous agent in my office. I told her I have a house if she could bring the buyer. We met the photographer at 120 Tennyson, Wheaton. Kathy did an amazing job showing her client all the features of this wonderful home.

Not only does the article cover home sales in Wheaton and Glen Ellyn, but talks about the decrease of tax revenues and an interview with Kathy Doremus of the DuPage Homeownership Center, a nonprofit affordable housing agency.

Don’t get too down about the headline. I just ran numbers for Wheaton townhouses and the prices actually went up in 2008. There is hope!
