Below you will find a combined list of my most recent postings. Click on a particular post to read more about the topic, or click a category specific to what you are looking for on the top right of this page.
I will be posting information on buying or selling a house, general information on select towns and school districts, and general information about living in the area. My goal is to provide information to buyers who may not be familiar with the area. While I am concentrating my posts around Lockport, Lemont, Homer Glen, New Lenox, Mokena, Frankfort, and Manhattan, please note that I OFTEN find myself working outside of these towns as well.
