Real Estate in Libertyville, Illinois

July brought us into our highest market share numbers for area 48 yet; at nearly 23%, and with over $7 million in volume between us and our nearest competitor, we remain the the #1 performing office in the Libertyville market!

July’s contracts written also exceeded last year which holds promise for the closing months ahead.  While all this is certainly uplifting, we aren’t blind to the fact that our markets are down.  The area 48 market overall is down 41% on the year…and that’s pretty sad.  Koenig & Strey GMAC Real Estate in Libertyville is down just under 20% in area 48; performing at double the pace of the market.

We are honored to have Judy on our team; and she comes with a legacy.  Many in the Libertyville market will remember her mother, Nancy Holmgren, who was a member of our team some years ago.  After a successful career in finance out of state, Judy decided to follow in her mother’s footsteps as a Premier Service Realtor.

Judy is working closely with another veteran Libertyville Realtor, Millie Kepler, to develop her own style; she certainly could not have picked a better mentor and her clients will certainly benefit from that relationship.

The trend continues in June with Koenig & Strey GMAC Real Estate in Libertyville leading the way in area 48 market share.  Our competitors have been kind enough to sell quite a few of our listings this month which brought them hot on our heels!  And that’s fine with us, because we sell theirs, too!

Our office has always been a strong supporter of the American Cancer Society’s Relay For Life.  Last year, we raised over $17,500 for the cause. This year, along with many other participants, was not so sweet.  And the wash-out from the torential downpour didn’t help much either!

We still ended up as the number 2 team, and based on the website report (Click Here), the #1 corporate participant! We don’t show up in that list because we weren’t actually corporate participants.

Watch out next year; we’ve got some great ideas cooking!

Our office has always been a strong supporter of the American Cancer Society’s Relay For Life.  Last year, we raised over $17,500 for the cause and the GLMV Relay Committee established a Realtor Award for which we were the first recipients.   This year our goal was $20,000.

We visited most all the Libertyville barkeeps last night and raised nearly $3,000 for the relay!  What a great time!  I truly expect the 2nd Annual next year to be our biggest event.  This year, 10 local watering holes offered special discounts by coupon on Thursday, May 29, from 6 to 10 PM.  Coupon books were sold at the participating venues and at Koenig & Strey GMAC in Libertyville with all proceeds going to benefit the relay.  The suggested donation for the book of 10 coupons was $25 and we collected much, much more in buckets at each bar thanks to some very aggressive agents from Koenig & Strey GMAC Real Estate!

May continues strong for Koening & Strey GMAC Real Estate in Libertyville; our market share in area 48 is over 21% and our nearest competitor is a full third of that behind us.  We didn’t trend as well in contracts written this year, but that was almost wholy offset by the stellar performance last month.

Lot’s of news to report today.  For the first time, Koenig & Strey GMAC Real Estate has moved firmly into the #2 spot in Chicagoland.  With 2/3’s the offices and less than 1/2 the agents, we surpassed Baird & Warner for the “silver” position market wide.  CB still holds the “gold” but with twice the number of offices and nearly 4 times the number of agents; guess we’ll just have to try harder.  Our Libertyville office also ranks pretty high at #39 in the Chicagoland marketplace out of 2,400 competing offices.  Not to mention our strong #7 finish for GMAC nationwide in ‘07.  Lots to be proud of.

Our office has always been a strong supporter of the American Cancer Society’s Relay For Life.  Last year, we raised over $17,500 for the cause and the GLMV Relay Committee established a Realtor Award for which we were the first recipients.   This year our goal is $20,000.

We’ve had a number of very successful events already; a fashion show luncheon ($1,800), a road rally ($700), a bake sale ($750), Doggy Poopy Bag Sale ($250) and lots of random donations.  In progress is the Cute Pet contest that you can participate in on-line at pets.TeamSanto.com.  We hope to raise a couple grand on that one.  There is also a Shop Libertyville Night planned where several local merchants have offered to donate 20% of their take to the cause; I’ll post an update with a list of merchants, and the shop night is Thursday, May 8th.

But the biggie was my idea, so, it better work.  The 1st Annual Libertyville Pub Crawl to benefit the ACS Relay For Life.  We’ve got most all the Libertyville barkeeps on board offering special discounts by coupon on Thursday, May 29, from 6 to 10 PM.  Coupon books will be sold at the participating watering holes and at Koenig & Strey GMAC in Libertyville.  The suggested donation for the book of 10 coupons is $25 and we’ll gladly accept more!
