Here’s a quick note to let you know how I can help you or anyone you might refer to me.
Cindy had never owned her own home and since she worked at a Business College in the city she thought it would be best to own and start planning for retirement.
After an Initial Consulation with Cindy, I was able to limit her search and set appointments to see specific condo’s that met her investment criteria.
Within a month Cindy had found the home she was looking for, stopped house hunting and started decorating and planning for her retirement !
P.S. Who is the next person you know who could benefit from streamling their house hunting process? Please call me to discuss how you can let them know about my services.
When you think of Sheridan Road what comes to mind? Probably just some major street that runs along the beautiful lakefront. Well, did you know that Congress originally granted Sheridan Road to be used for military puposes during the Civil War? It was used as a road for the military from Fort Dearborn in Chicago to Fort Howard in Wisconsin. Sheridan Road received its named from a Civil War general, Philip Henry Sheridan. He started just as a U.S. Army Officer, but soon became an Union general. Though the battles were exhasting, he still managed to lead his men to many victories. He even protected Chicago after the Great Chicgao Fire in 1871. It was because of his success and leadership in the victories and his many services to Chicago that Sheridan Road was named to honor him. With this well-known road comes many attractions and places of interest such as the Calvary Cemetery, Northwestern University, the Baha’i Temple, Lake Forest College, Ravinia Festival, Plaza Del Lago Shopping Mall, and much more. All of these are great places and attractions, but there is one thing you shouldn’t forget and that is the gorgeous and massive homes.
This is Northwestern University Arch. Northwestern is known for its excellence in its graduate and professional programs. The J. L. Kellogg School of Management has been constantly ranked among the top five business schools in the world. The Medill School of Journalism is considered one of the top journalism schools, and its alumni are regular winners of the Pulitzer Prize.
Though there are six other Baha’i Temples in the world, the one that runs along Sheridan Road seems to be the most attractive along with the one in India. It contains nine sides and a dome. It is surrounded by beautiful gardens and fountains.
This is a 1914 Harold White home. It is a prairie style house.
This is a Rogers Park home on Sheridan Road. This is a Frank Lloyd Wright Home. Wright is a famous architect that was primarily known for his Prarie style design houses.
Judge Francis E. Clarke was the owner of this magnificent house.He went from being a teacher to a principal to being an incorporator of the First National Bank of Waukegan. This house went from having an Italianate style to having the Queen Anne style that was typical of the 1870s. This house was built by the Porter Brothers.
Downtown Evanston has something to offer everyone. It seems that new construction is everywhere. Central to the revitalization of the downtown was the Century 12 CineArts 6 Movie Theatre at Maple and Church Street.

In the past 4 years new condominum projects have followed and more are on the way. A 40 story building is being proposed and this will be the tallest building outside of Chicago. This new building will add to the already occupied new units surrounding downtown. Some of these newer buildings are pictured below:
