Buffalo Grove Foreclosures- February 2010  

So do you want to buy a Buffalo Grove foreclosure or Buffalo Grove Bank Owned Property?   You have come to the right place!   I always like to shed a little humor in everything that I do. Click Here for a little levity on purchasing a Foreclosure property.  Its a very funny video!

In case you have made the decision  to try to buy a  Buffalo Grove  home, ie a  bank owned property, I have the experience to make this transaction as easy as possible for you.   This is my favorite foreclosed home currently  on the market in Buffalo Grove.  This foreclosure  is located near Route 83 and Lake Cook and is in the District 102 school district.

If you would like to see this property or any other bank foreclosures, please do not hesitate to call me at 847-602-5435 

In the bank owned property  scenario, the lender has already foreclosed on the house, the bank is now the owner  and  and has put the home back on the market.  The foreclosed bank owned  house will be usually be vacant and possibly in need of repair work such as new appliances. 

I have seen many kitchens that are completely gutted but in other cases I am completely surprised and the bank owned property is actually in very good shape.

Bank owned properties are often sold at a greater discount than short sales and you normally receive an answer quickly (even in a day or two).  What I like about bank owned property and  RE0's is the what you see is what you get!  There won't be many surprises at the time of closing. 

I myself have closed on many Buffalo Grove foreclosures  and have the knowledge and expertise to make this process as  as simple as  possible.   If you are planning to buy  a  Buffalo Grove property anytime soon, please give me a call and we'll take a look!

Buffalo Grove Park District is now presenting West Side Story!  

I saw the Buffalo Grove Park Distict  performance of West Side Story last night and  it  was simply spectacular!  My niece Annie played the character Anita and I thought she did an awesome job. 

Don't miss this wonderful performance!   The actresses and actors ranging from 6th graders to seniors in High School were all just magnificent.   The scenery was great, the dancing superb, the singing was amazing.  I think it was one of the best shows I have seen!   If  this review is convincing you to see the show...   you are in luck....there are still tickets available.
