Is it time to move, or remodel your home, instead? To make the right decision to move or stay put, you must first evaluate your options as well as your motivations.

Did you know that dust motes can be hazardous to your health? They can contribute to everything from allergies to bacterial infections – and the likelihood will only multiply during the winter months when your house is closed up against the elements.

Do you and your family have a favorite place in your Naperville home where you can unwind and enjoy playing games together? Having a rec room can give you the space to incorporate everything from table tennis to air hockey, and still have it be a comfortable room for all of you to come together or spread out into different zones and spend quiet time doing various activities in smaller groups or by yourself.

The cooler days and fewer hours of sunlight have already made the trees turn and drop their leaves. And if your Naperville home has trees in the yard, you’ve probably been spending a great deal of time raking and filling up bags with leaves – repeatedly (unless you have a landscaping crew who does all of that tedious work for you, instead).

Whether you’re buying or selling a home in Chicago or its suburbs for the first time, this exciting experience is life changing and can be complicated. Given that this is a major purchase / sale, Realtors® at Ryan Hill Realty advise you on how to avoid a few pitfalls.

How ready are you to refinance your mortgage? The interest rates might be low, but you shouldn’t even attempt refinancing your Chicagoland home unless your finances are in order.

Do you or your neighbor have a fence or hedge to establish boundaries between your two properties? If not, are either of you thinking about adding one outside of your Chicagoland home? As a general rule, marking the boundaries of your property is helpful to do – how else will you know EXACTLY how far you must mow your lawn, or obtain a quote for the amount of fencing you need around the perimeter to keep your furry friends safely enclosed?
