Barrington Horse properties come in all shapes and sizes and there are plenty for sale to choose from. If you have horses but are boarding them somewhere else, perhaps it's time to think about investing in your own Barrington horse property and bringing them closer to home. Imagine a morning view of your horse grazing outside the kitchen window! Think about walking just a few yards to your barn to feed, groom or just say hello to your best friend. Consider how Barrington and Barrington Hills has the properties that are zoned for horses and have riding trails. Buying Barrington horse properties can be expensive but there are some for sale that are well priced and maybe more affordable than you think. Granted some of these do need to work. Some of the horse facilities like barns, paddocks...

It's a sign of the times and while many Realtors in Barrington might not yet have embraced digital signing, we have and it's bringing us business and helps with local business too. The days of driving all over town and often beyond to get signatures and initials has changed. Fax machines helped for a while but most consumers don't have their own number or machine. Email helped by scanning documents and emailing them for signatures but the return of those documents could be a problem if the recipient does not also have a scanner, so it was time to get back in the car and go and fetch the document. Not only is this a time consuming process but by the time we are done sending documents back and forth that are faxed and scanned, they become almost illegible. Digital Signing Makes Absentee S...

Homes for sale in Barrington come in different sizes and prices but also many different styles. Colonial is one of the most common styles, Tudors are not as common, traditional covers a multitude of concepts, there are contemporaryand Georgian and although not common French Provincial Style homes can be found in many of Barrington's Villages. When searching homes for sale, Barrington Realtor's try to indicate on the MLS listings the style of property but some can be hard to label and French Provincial can often be classed as traditional. Here are the characteristics of a French Provincial house. Balanced, symmetrical proportions Brick exterior Steep roofs Tall second-story windows (often with arched tops) Porches with substantial balustrades The style dates back to the 1600's and have m...

Do Barrington Realtors do anything after a contract is accepted and signed? It is thought not a lot but let me tell you about my last 3 days with wells and septics on my mind. If you sell a home in Barrington that has it's own well and septic system, which is just about all the homes outside of  Barrington Village, you are required to provide the buyer with a well and septic inspection report and take care of any issues on that report. The goal being to provide the buyers with a fully functioning water supply and septic system. Day One - Arrange to meet the inspector at the property for the inspection. This took a little dance because the owner is out of state and I had to get a tenant, Realtor - me, and the inspector there at the same time. At the time of the appointment I was thinking...

Barrington home sellers have choices when it comes to selling real estate. Which company, which broker, local or non local, full time part time, previous Realtor, new Realtor, signs you have seen around town, you get the idea.  How do you choose?  How will you know what skills each Realtor has. With over 1,000 Realtors servicing the Barrington area I would think the best way is to do some research and then start interviewing Realtors. When it comes to selling Barrington homes, marketing and presentation skills are right up there at the top. If you haven't heard of Gordon Ramsey you are missing some good cooking TV. He has a couple of shows on TV now, Hell's Kitchen and Master Chef. Master Chef is about finding the best and each week a chef is dismissed following a cooking challenge. Thi...

As Realtor's it's now common for us to take our own photos rather than outsource it to a company. I love taking my own photos because I can take 100's if I need to which will showcase larger homes much better than 10 or 12 if I outsourced it. My camera is a few years old now but still a 7.2 mega pixel digital SLR with wide angle lens when I need it. So time for me to ramp up my Barrington real estate photography skills and learn how to use some of the great software there is out there to help me if I make a "boo boo". My Dad would be proud, he took and developed all his own photos long before the digital days. Anyway let's get to the point here. I listed a Barrington home for sale on Saturday and took an interior shot to show off the Brazilian Cherry floors. Below is the photo. Taken wi...

Barrington homes and the search for your dream property. The best piece of advice I can give you before you start is to choose your neighborhood first. Everyone has heard the rule of real estate that it's location, location, location over anything else, and when it comes to probably the largest investment of your life it's wise not to ignore it. In some areas of the suburbs that location factor might be neighborhoods. Here in the Barrington area it's more likely to be which Barrington village. With just a few exceptions our neighboorhoods are very small and not very relevant to the search. Those exceptions would be Lake Barrington Shores of Lake Barrington homes, Wynstone of North Barrington homes, and Inverness on The Pond, all are gated communities with 400 homes or more and are chose...

South Barrington homes offer some of the best choice in luxury real estate in the Barrington area. Yet buying a home in a luxury community is no different to buyers looking at other Barrington homes, you'll likely have to give up some of the items on your wish list.  Whether it's needing a main level master, or not; a walk out basement, a second kitchen, a bedroom and seperate area for the nanny, a swimming pool or not; when buying South Barrington homes your wish list for a luxury property is going to be longer than usual. When you have a larger budget to spend you expect to get everything you want. Creating a South Barrington Homes Short List South Barrington has around 60 to 80 homes for sale at any given time. At the time of writing it is 74. Remember that when you start creating yo...
