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?

How do you market Luxury Homes to Realtors in the Area? Think outside the box!

In the Buffalo Grove, Long Grove area most realtors do not attend broker’s opens to see homes for potential future clients unless they are given gourmet lunches, bottles of wine, or great big gift certificates to various venues.

However, marketing to other realtors is very important for luxury homes, whether you are selling a home in Long Grove, Illinois or Armonk New York. That is when I decided to think outside the box and hold a Girl’s night boutique in one of my luxury home listings . This magnificent home located in Royal Melbourne was completely redone by a reputable builder, and is currently awaiting a buyer interested in their future dream home.

I contacted many women realtors in the area, as well as my friends( they may know people who would like to buy this home) all by evite, www.evite.com and invited them to view this home as well as buy early Christmas/ Chanukah gifts for their family and friends. Additionally, Wine and other refreshments will be served.

The following vendors will be displaying their goods at the event

Tastefully simple

Lauren Margolin Inviting Ideas

Sipada Jewelery

Southern Living

Arbonne

So far 50 people have signed up to attend and I'm really excited about the event. If you are in the Long Grove area on Thursday, evening, please call come by...

I love Didier Farms… Every time I pass by Didier Farms I have many fond memories of when my children were young and they had the best time getting lost in the maze or finding the biggest and best pumpkin after the hayride tractor dropped us off in the fields. When Didier Farms closes in the fall on Halloween, it kind of depresses me that Winter is approaching. Actually this year we are experiencing an even earlier winter.

During the next few weeks at Didier Farms there is one admission fee until 2:00 ($10.50) that covers the tractor hayrides , corn maze, petting zoo, pony rides, moonwalk and other mechanical rides. After 2:00 pm and all day on weekends,tickets at Didier Farms will need to be purchased separately for all events.

Wristband Thursdays is $13 for unlimited rides. That was always my favorite time to go with the kids

If you want more information about Didier Farms hours and location, please go to the Didier Farm website

Now my twins are 13 and my oldest is 17 and I don’t have anyone to go with. Writing this blog on Didier Farms made me very sad about my boys growing up, so I pulled out a favorite picture from 10 years ago.

Those were the days!!! It made me reminisce how much fun it was when we took them to places like Didier Farms. This adorable picture was taken 10 years ago today....
