Sushi Kushi San 3 in Vernon Hills has recently opened!

Are you looking for a great Sushi place near Vernon Hills, Buffalo Grove or Long Grove?

Sushi Kushi San 3 just opened in Vernon Hills and I highly recommend it! As a matter of fact Sushi Kushi San 3 opened 3 weeks ago, and I have been back 3 times. Sushi Kushi Toyo and Sushi Kushi Too are already located in Lake Forest and Highland Park

The food is amazing and definately very fresh! You will be able to find over 30 unique Sushi rolls on the menu. Besides the Crunchy Roll, I tried the Black Tiger. Yum!

The second Sunday it was open, you couldn't even find a table. That's remarkable for a restaurant in the suburbs.

Want to protest your real estate taxes in Lake County, Il ? Do it Now!

In Lake County,Illinois, the real estate tax assessments were just recently mailed to all of the homeowners. The scenerio in most households goes like this.

You can't believe it- your real estate taxes have increased, but your real estate property values have decreased.

If you want to protest your Lake County real estate taxes, do it now!

In Lake County Illinois, there are only 30 days after you receive your notice of assessment,(not 30 days after you receive your real estate bill),to file an appeal for that year. In other words, it is imperative at this time to act fast since the assessments were already mailed to the owners of record at the beginning of November, and the due date of the appeals would be at the beginning of December. If you snooze - you will lose! ( your shirt)

An expert can help you appeal your taxes if you don't feel that you have been fairly assessed. According to Carl Peterson, (see below) it is important to verify that your real estate property record card reflects accurate information when you receive the reassessment form. The number of baths, basement area, finished lower level, gross building area, garage type, etc. are important components of your total market value. If you find an error, contact your particular township to discuss these errors and if they agree with your findings, they will correct the property record card to reflect your changes.

If your property record card is already accurate, and you believe your assessment is too high, it is important to find 3 or more comparable properties from your neighborhood which are the most identical to your home. The homes you choose should be the same style, i.e. ranch, split level, 2-story, etc. as your home; be of similar size and have similar amenities, such as bath count, fireplace, garage size, etc. Next, compare the assessments of these properties to yours to determine if you are equitably assessed. If it appears that your assessment is higher than the comparables, you may consider contesting or appealing your assessment. This appeal needs to be filed on the County RESIDENTIAL REAL ESTATE ASSESSMENT APPEAL FORM FOR TAX YEAR 2009

Carl Peterson has been a real estate appraiser for over 30 years and for the past 15 years has been actively involved in the real estate tax assessment field, as a Certified Illinois Assessing Officer (CIAO). He has reviewed thousands of parcels and has worked on correcting the assessment of homes that have been assessed incorrectly. If you would like help in protesting your taxes, please free to contact Carl Peterson of The Third Principal Meridian (708) 826-2101 or by email at The3rdPM@aol.com

Take pictures of your home now, if you want to list your home in the spring!


Royal Melbourne home Buffalo Grove /Long Grove real estate agent Judy Greenberg emphasizes how important it is to take pictures this fall if you plan to list your home later this fall, this Winter or next Spring. .

In my opinion, timing and knowledge are the keys of selling your home quickly and for the highest possible price. My goal is to educate the sellers and buyers to take full advantage of the present market.

This purpose of this blog post has one purpose only....

Take remind everyone to take pictures of your home in all seasons- especially those that emphasize the beauty of your home.

Let's say you want to put your home on the market in early spring, one of the times most people ultimately first think about selling their home. Imagine what the photos of your home would look like at the time of year. If you live in Chicago's suburbs, your pictures would either include dirty snow or ugly barren trees. (Sometimes not a pretty site and one that does not make a good first impression.)

According the National Association of Realtors, nearly 80% of homebuyers start their home search on the Internet. This number is increasing on a daily basis. The potential buyer narrows his list of homes he would like to see by looking at pictures on the internet.

My suggestion is that if you are contemplating putting your home on the market in early spring - take your pictures now. Maybe even buy some hearty mums for additional color. Everything is very green ,especially after the week of rain we had a couple of weeks ago. Fall is a beautiful time of year and it would be a good idea to show the potential buyers what your home looks like in different seasons. To your left- this backyard in Long Grove will not photograph as well in the middle of winter as it does in the middle of the fall.

In my opinion, it's the photos -- and good photos -- that ultimately brings a potential buyer to your home, and you only get one chance to make a first impression. A good picture is worth a 1000 words, a bad picture on the other hand may result in the consumer skipping over your home in their internet search and ultimately lose the sale.

For all of you realtors who are reading this blog... would you take a client to a home which had no pictures on the internet? What about one that had bad pictures? What about potential buyers, what do you think?
