It's Testimonial Tuesday! And I received a 5 Star Review!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Thank you for putting your trust in me!
Deborah was amazing! She helped me sell our uncle's home as part of his estate and I was challenged with being 800 miles away. She went above and beyond with her guidance. Deborah made the home look fabulous with her staging efforts. She kept me updated at every step. She regularly checked on the house especially through this extremely cold winter. She worked with the clean out/estate sale service since I could not be onsite. She even took some useful items to a local woman's shelter. She worked hard to get to know my uncle and stage the house to represent what it meant to him and so others could see the possibilities. I would gladly list another property with Deborah if I had one available. Thank you Deborah!

P.S. The Home went under contract in 8 Days & Sold over List Price!

If you’re a fan of big, swanky steakhouses, 2025 was your year. The Alston in the Gold Coast, Adalina Prime in the West Loop, and The Greggory in South Barrington all opened, and the crowds followed.

While the latest steakhouse trend may be “the bigger, the better,” if you’d rather dine in a more intimate setting, Boeufhaus is the ticket. Hidden in plain sight on Western Avenue, the French- and German-inspired restaurant has a concise menu of steak as well as seafood, shareable plates, soup and more.

Crain’s recommender-in-chief touts the short rib beignets, salade du marché, boeuf fat fries, and his go-to pasta: cavatelli with merguez sausage, caramelized shallots and fried ceci beans. The mostly French wine list is extensive, with plenty of options by the glass.

Village of Flossmoor, Illinois Simply the BEST!!!

Real estate agent Lisa Finks works in several North Shore communities, but in 2025 one of them demanded more of her time than the rest: Wilmette.

The data bear her out. Home sales in Wilmette grew by more than 20% in 2025 from the year before, according to preliminary sales records at year-end. It's one of nine places in the city and suburbs where Crain's found sizable increases in sales.

These upticks stand in contrast to the metro-area housing market, which was flat overall. In the nine-county metro area, home sales ended 2025 at about 0.2% higher than 2024, early results indicate. Underscoring the flatness is the fact that 2024 was the lowest-selling year for Chicago-area homes since 2011. The 2025 figure may change slightly when Illinois Realtors releases its official tally of sales for December in a few weeks.

Also on the list of places where home sales rose a lot are the city neighborhoods of Little Village (up 24%), Avondale (19%), Humboldt Park and South Shore (both about 13%), and the suburbs of Plainfield (14%), Flossmoor (12%), Schaumburg and Glen Ellyn (both 11%). This is not a comprehensive list; other locations with the same level of activity may surface as more year-end data becomes available.
