My Experience as a Buffalo Grove Realtor at Coldwell Banker
March 5, 2010 by Sharron · Leave a Comment
In 2009 I made the decision to move my business from Re/Max to Coldwell Banker. The services and professionalism of Coldwell Banker was extremely appealing and it was time for me to make a change.
With 25 years of experience, and team to back me up, I put all of my efforts into marketing and sales on my new venture with Coldwell Banker. I am happy to be able to share with my fellow realtors and friends my accomplishment for 2009 with Coldwell Banker in Buffalo Grove.
Thanks to all of my past clients, friends and family, I was able to make a move and finish off as the #1 agent at Coldwell Banker in Buffalo Grove and the #3 Agent in the Northwest Region. It was an honor to receive this letter from Bruce Zipf.

Long Grove Real Estate: Use a realtor who knows the news!
February 17, 2010 by Sharron · Leave a Comment
When is winter going to end in Long Grove? I’m sure everyone in Lake County Illinois is waiting for all of this snow to melt and flowers to start blooming. As the weather begins to turn, we will see all of the events such as the Fine Arts Festival and Strawberry Festival which Long Grove is known for.
Downtown Long Grove is an historical area with businesses and houses that date back to the 1800’s. This thriving town of cobblestone walks that wind include the shops like Bella Donna Boutique, Casa Brasil, Country House of Long Grove and more. The restaurants include Long Grove Café & Restaurant, Victoria’s Mexican Grill, The Village Tavern and there is so much more including art galleries, salons and jewelry shops. These are just some of the places that make up this historical area with unique charm the place it is today.
For a map and list of local businesses (PDF)
Commonly known as the crossroads, Long Grove was first settled by German immigrants who kept their farms in the great plains of Illinois and would come to town to buy supplies. As the years passed the crossroads of the Indian trails, one leading Northwest from Chicago through Buffalo Grove and Long Grove and one Southwest from the Lake Michigan shores crossing in Long Grove, came to mark this lush and beautifully wooded town that we all know and love today.
By 1880 the first settlers of this area, George Ruth and family claimed a remarkable 160 acres of this great prairie land, of course not even recognizing what the value of Long Grove Real Estate would be today. At that time the town consisted of general stores, blacksmiths, wagon and carriage shops, a tavern, a hotel, churches and a school.
If only the crossroads could talk, I’m sure there would be great stories to tell which have made Long Grove the town it is today.
To carry on its traditions, this town celebrates events throughout the year. If you are ever looking for something to do, you have found a small haven in the crossroads.
Coming soon, March 27 & 28, 2010 is the Long Grove Ice Meltin’ Blues Fest.
Although the date has not been announced in April you can look forward to the Flaming Flapjacks Pancake Breakfast. Enjoy an all-you-can-eat pancakes, sausages, coffee and fruit – hosted by the Long Grove Firefighters Association and the South Lake County Regional Community Emergency Response Team.
My favorite event that takes place April 30-May 2, 2010 is the Chocolate Fest. It is a celebration of everything Chocolate. It is fun for the whole family and the warm weather gives you a chance to enjoy what this charming village has to offer.
I could go on and on about this amazing town, but I think you should see it for yourself.
