New Home Notebook

Ryland Homes works together with Brook Furniture Rental to furnish some of Ryland’s Gilberts Town Center models to enable home buyers to visualize ways in which the flexible and open floor plans can suit their lifestyle. The cost of owning a new home at Gilberts Town Center compares favorably with the cost of renting a similar home.

Located in the Village of Gilberts, in Kane County,one of the fastest-growing communities in the Chicagoland area. The area offers easy access to I-90, the Metra and the Randall Road shopping centers, and affordable new home developments from national builders, including Ryland Homes.

In an attempt to attract buyers in today’s challenging marketplace, the owners of 2000 Parkview Dr in South Holland decided to hire the services of Margaret Gehr from Chicagoland Home Staging to make the home more appealing from the nearly bare rooms of their large 4 bedroom, 4 bath home.

Gehr formulated a plan to use the remaining furniture in the home, and work together with Brook Furniture Rental‘s Amanda Eirich in adding furniture and accessories.

Stacie McGlone, the listing agent from RE/MAX All Properties, is confident that having the home professionally staged gives buyers a better feel for its potential.  The home is listed for sale for $329,900.

Driving Chicagoland’s interstate crossroads of I-90 and 290 and you see Schaumburg. Or so you may think. Of course there are shopping centers, hotels and restaurants. But, as Joe Stacy, a 20-year resident of Schaumburg and the broker manager of Koenig & Strey’s Schaumburg office lays out in the above video, there is more than tall glass and Woodfield Mall.

The retail and corporate parks drivers and shoppers see account for a very low tax base for approximately twenty square miles of residential housing, a top-notch park district and school system. As Joe says, residents also enjoy parks, golf, sports complexes, forest preserves and an assortment of entertainment venues.
