Every now and than I check some of Chicago's suburban websites, to see their online presence. Mount Prospect has a state of the art website with all the info any of it's residents would need. The snap shot below proves it.     One great addition is Experience Mount Prospect. Where you can find about shopping, dining and what else there is to enjoy.     These sites are awesome, but they do miss the social media. I follow a few of the suburban park districts on twitter and even on Facebook.  We can choose a local blogger ;) to find out about current local events or real estate market conditions in neighboring areas.    Visit and choose to subscribe to my North Of Chicago real estate and other stuff blog.

    Short Sale Listing on  Bob O Link in Mount Prospect Most homeowners don't realize that the bank doesn't want to foreclose on their home. Also that it is in most cases not too late to postpone a foreclosure to do a short sale.  We just postponed a foreclosure in the last few weeks within 72 hours from the court date.  A short sale is when a real estate agent finds a buyer for your home and then negotiates with the bank to take a lesser amount to settle the loan/mortgage on the home.  Many homeowners don't realize that if they owe more on their home that it is worth that there are no alternatives. In many cases there are and I am just a phone call away to discuss your situation. My real estate team specializes in short sales and we treat all our clients as we would like to be treated....
