The North Shore has always been a beautiful place to live. There is LakeMichigan, with miles and miles of Public Beaches. There are parks interspersed throughout the suburbs, from the large Gilson Park in Wilmette, to Kalk Park in Glencoe. There are sites worthy of both tourists and locals alike: Baha'i Temple, the Chicago Botanic Gardens, miles of bike trails, the Forest Preserves, and the magnificant city of Chicago, just a short Metra train ride away! Throughout each suburb there are very good schools systems, each feeding into the renowned New Trier High School. It is a wonderful place to live.

I have lived on the North Shore for over 40 years, and am extremely knowledgable about the area. I am in Presidents's club, representing the top 2% of agents at Coldwell Banker.
My sellers receive an average list price/sales price ratio of 95.2% while the average for the market is just 92.0%.
The local real estate market is changing, with inventory at record levels, market values going down, and homes taking longer to sell. However, with mortgage rates so low, there are some great deals out there if you hire an experienced agent to help you.
My sellers are able to get there homes sold with me, often with multiple offers (my past 3 listings in 2008 all had multiple offers).
My clients understand and trust that I have their best interest at heart. In this changing market, that's very important. I give in depth market analysis of the home you're selling as well as the home you are buying. An educated buyer is my best client!
