Welcome to LeavingIL™

I created this page to help Illinois homeowners explore their options if they’re considering leaving the state.

Many people are thinking about relocation because of property taxes, cost of living, or lifestyle changes.

If you're curious what your options might look like, you can start here:

Elgin Men's Shed. They do so much good for the community and are a great organization. Check it out.

This year the Elgin Area Men's Shed added some skills to our team by making doll beds and wooden tops and more types of vehicles. We donated 120 various toys to the Salvation Army Angel Tree program, including gift bags and some tissue paper.
Doll bed spreads were made by ladies at area senior centers, churches and members’ spouses and both men and women at some senior centers assisted in painting both cars and beds.

Thanks to all the ladies and gentlemen that participated in this worthy cause. Hopefully these toys will put smiles on some deserving faces.

My thanks also to Paul Reardon for making sure this gets posted to our page. Thanks Paul.

I work with homeowners in Elgin and surrounding communities who are thinking ahead — whether that’s downsizing, relocating, or simply understanding their options.

My approach is calm, practical, and focused on clear communication and smooth transitions.

If you’re planning a move in 2026, it’s never too early to talk.
