Two years after I wrote the article about Sunset Foods coming to town, the residents of Long Grove, Il still only see dirt and no signs of the Sunset Foods strip mall. For many months there were many trucks getting ready for the construction of the Sunset Foods, and then all of a sudden the consturction trucks ceased coming.
Well last week, the Chicago Tribune reported the following....
Hoffman's Lakewood Real Estate Solutions is working with the property's owner, Pinnacle Capital Group, on the $30 million, 141,000-square-foot project. Sunset is scheduled to open in about a year at the southeast corner of Illinois Highway 83 and Aptakisic Road.
Thank you LakeWood Real Estate- maybe now, Long Grove will get the Sunset they finally deserve!
In November of 2007, I wrote the following post....
Many of the residents of Buffalo Grove and Long Grove have heard rumors for the past few years that Sunset Foods may be adding their 5th grocery store at the South East corner of Aptakisic Road and Route 83 in Long Grove. Will this ever be a truism, and not just a rumor? At a recent Village Board meeting, Mike Firsel, co- founder of Mid- America Development Partners pitched the idea to the Village Board and the proposal will now be discussed by Long Grove's Plan Commission.
Village President Maria Rodriguez said the town has been trying to bring in Sunset Foods for more than a year now. "There was a definite cry from residents for practical stores," she said. "It's a family-owned business; it's a high-end grocery store. We think it's going to be an absolutely perfect fit."
Presently Sunset Foods has locations in Highland Park, Lake Forest, Libertville and Northbrook and many Buffalo Grove and Long Grove residents make a 20 minute trip to these other towns in order to do their weekly grocery shopping trip. 
Sunset's customers stay loyal to this 70- year family-owned company because of the store's excellent customer service and reputation. The company's employees load the customers' groceries, provide complimentary cooking and nutrition classes and offer to special order products that are not on the shelf. Sunset is also a popular stop for busy moms and professionals like myself since they always have delicious pre- cooked meals, exotic salads and other tasty dishes.

Buffalo Grove Real Estate Analysis- October 2009
Everywhere I go these days, people are asking me the same question, how is the real estate market doing in the Buffalo Grove area?
The below analysis from Coldwell Banker indicates that sales in October are up , (good news)Buffalo Grove home inventory is down( that's also really good news) but Buffalo Grove prices are down! ( that's not good news!)
The median sales price in October was $225.000- down approx 20% from October of last year. Why has the median price decreased by almost 20%. One reason is that there are more short sales and Bank Owned Property than there have ever been.
Whether you are in the market to buy a home or to sell your current home in Buffalo Grove, it is important to keep abreast of the Buffalo Grove market statistics (or at least to work with a REALTOR who does.)

One of the charities that I feel passionate about is Cured

Take the time to watch this amazing video and you will learn more about the disease.

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

Thank you so much for selling my home. You laid out a very thorough plan to market the home and secured multiple qualified buyers in just days. Your attention to detail made all the difference. My only regret is I couldn't take you to Canada to help with the purchase of my next home.
Naveen Kapahi
Thank you for all your help! I truly appreciated your patience throughout the househunting process. You gave me great advice and never wanted to sell me something that was not exactly right for me. I knew that I did not have to worry about knowing about every house that was in the Wheeling market in my price range. You are truly a professional that cares about her clients. I will definately recommend you to all my family and friends!
Howard Stone
Judy consistently displayed the highest level of professionalism, integrity and dedication in both the sale of our old home and the buy of our new home. On the sell side, she strategically staged our home in order for us to receive the highest sales price. On the buy side, her expertise and contacts in the Long Grove area greatly benefited us. My wife and I were able to see our dream home before it was even on the market. In both transactions they made the entire process as smooth and hassle free as possible. Be assure that I would always recommend Judy to anyone looking for a realtor in the Chicago Northwest Suburbs

Recently we were relocated to Chicago and as with all relocations; we had a short fuse to find a home. We got in touch with Judy Greenberg via her website and subsequent phone conversations. We signed on with her based on her knowledge of the area. Judy respected our urgency, took time to understand our needs (and desires) and found us the perfect home in a matter of days.
Judy, thank you again for finding exactly what we wanted; everything you showed us was always the type of house we wanted to see. The showing time spent with you was planned efficiently. You are a true professional with outstanding attention to detail. You are a Realtor that not only listens, but more importantly, understands. We appreciate all of your assistance and are lucky to have you as a friend.
