On September 15, 2009, Woodlawn Middle School in Long Grove, Illinois was announced as one of the 2009 National Blue Ribbon Schools.

My twin eighth graders attend Woodlawn Middle School and I can't say enough good things about it. They don't miss a beat!

Four public Illinois middle schools earned 2009 recognition from the U.S. Department of Education. "The U.S. Department of Education Blue Ribbon is one of the most prestigious awards in education and we are very humbled to be receiving this recognition," Woodlawn Principal Greg Grana said.

"The great thing about an award like this is that everyone–from the Board of Education, students, teachers, and support staff to community members and administrators–gets recognized for his or her excellence," noted Principal Grana. We are going to continue to do what is best for students and strive to be a premiere school and district."

Woodlawn Middle School in Long Grove is the third school in District 96 to be distinguished by the U.S. Department of Education with the Blue Ribbon award; Twin Groves Middle School was honored in 2007 and Ivy Hall Elementary School was honored in 2008. The first school to earn national recognition in the District was the Willow Grove Kindergarten & Early Childhood Center, which earned accreditation in 2004 from the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC).

Go Woodlawn! We are so proud of you!

Long Grove Realtor- Finding the best one for you!

•1. Choose a Long Grove Realtor that best suits your personality!

It is incredibly important to choose a Long Grove agent who makes you feel exrtremely comfortable since you will be spending many of the next waking hours with this person.

To see if our personalities click, we can either meet for coffee- I like Dunkin Donuts better than Starbucks, but I never refuse a good latte, we can chat on the phone, or you can read a few of my blog posts at www.judygreenberg.com.

•2. Choose a Long Grove realtor you trust!

There are certain professions where trust is of the utmost importance and included in this list is realtors. A good Long Grove realtor is someone who you know will do his or her best for you.

No -brainer! The high level of integrity and complete honesty bred into me enable you to put your trust in me to help YOU with your next real estate purchase. I will provide you a list of my past clients in order for them to give you a good idea of how I operate. A great percentage of my business is referral based.

•3. Choose a full- time Long Grove realtor

These days, it seems that almost everyone's a realtor. Some Long Grove realtors do it as a hobby, and some do it as a full time job. I do it almost 24/7. By hiring a full time Long grove realtor, you help assure that their search for your new home is full time as well. During your search for the perfect home, most Long Grove realtors will be looking for the home on the multiple listing service that meets all of your criteria.

I go beyond that. Many times when I have a buyer in a specific price range and they can't find a home that they are truly in love with, I go the extra step. I ask the realtors in my office, Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage, if anyone has a listing that they know that is coming on the market soon. If this networking proves unsuccessful, I take it one step further and ask my close friends and colleagues I trust in the other offices in town to see if they know of any listing that is going to meet the needs of my buyers. Although inventory is high, and you are probably laughing to yourself that a person can't find a home in today's market, many times the best homes do not even hit the market

•4. Choose a Long Grove realtor that wants what you want.

Will your realtor listen to your needs and wants and understand that during this process your needs will change.

It took me 2 years to find my dream home, so I completely understand! I work hard to ensure each move and home purchase/sale is as smooth and pleasant as it can be. Buying a home can be stressful, so my goal is to take some of that stress away.

•5. Choose a local Long Grove realtor.

It is important to choose a realtor who knows the area like the back of her hand. Your Long Grove realtor should be completely versed in the schools, subdivisions,school districts, boundary lines, commuting, type of water the home uses, conservancy laws, etc

Let me give you an example. Suppose a school district changed boundaries within the last few years. Many listing realtors are relying on old school information, and submitting incorrect schools or incorrect spelling of schools on the MLS sheets. This is happening more frequently today, especially with the influx of foreclosures and bank owned property on the market. The seller's bank hires the Realtor and this realtor may live and work hours from the property. If a buyer's realtor does not know the area, they will incorrectly rely on the listing agents mistakes.

When you are negotiating on behalf of your client, it is always better to be the one who is more knowledgeable about the area. If you are representing the buyer and the seller won't budge on the price, you always have the advantage if you have seen the inside of the comparables and the reason that they sold for the price they did. A local realtor has the upper hand in the negotiations.

A local realtor also knows the best deals since she has seen all of the homes and can compare which one is the best. Two weeks ago, my client just bought the hottest deal in town. It was one of the prettiest homes I have even seen and my clients bought it for a great price.!
