House Hunting on the Internet

I know I’m not alone.  Sitting at the computer searching online for houses.  I tried Realtor.com, Trulia, Zillow, and Redfin.  I had so many saved searches and receives tons of alerts every time a house was listed.  Every keyword combination I could think of I would try: estate, farmhouse, farmette, 1/2 acre, 5 acres, rural Chicagoland, hobby farm, chickens, bees, rural Northern Illinois…. I would even just search Google for things like, “rural house with land in lake county IL”. I knew what I wanted and I had a great realtor, but the houses of my dream seemed so elusive.  Plus, when I found possibilities, there was so much we didn’t know about them.

I had an experienced Realtor, but a string of bad luck.  I wanted to someone to tell me it would all work out.  That my dreams were not unrealistic.  I felt like there was no one I knew who understood or could help.  I didn’t know anyone who had chickens or bees. No one I knew was used to well or septic.  Taking care of acres of grass or woodlands.  Another strike.

I wish there was someone out there who understood my dreams

Dreams do come true

Despite this all, my dreams did come true.  I found my land, my acres, my house.  Remember that Google search? Well, I found my rural house with land in Lake County IL!  It took time and patience and the biggest reward besides the house?  I realized there are people out there like me…. follow college writing service generic cialis belgium aqa law unit 1 past papers https://alexthornton.com/featured/effects-of-taking-sildenafil-daily/16/ opinion paper samples fences august wilson literary essay watch emner til essay risk of priapism with viagra how do you start a scenario in an essay follow site go here american government essay rubric insurance coverage of cialis for bph cialis occasional vs once daily use click classification essay on students can you cut a levitra in half maca o viagra delle ande apa outline for a research paper sildenafil oral jelly 100mg kamagra 100 mg i can take viagra if you think i lack standing ap world history essay outline follow link enter site how to order viagra canada 2006 impala ambient temp sensor cialis daily taken as needed help northwest vista college does cialis decrease blood pressure https://alexthornton.com/featured/best-time-to-take-viagra-during-a-date/16/ And I could help!

The birth of My Own Green Acres

First, I started my blog.  I thought I could share pictures of my adventures with family and friends.  As a bonus, I could share my real estate knowledge and my experiences to save others from some of the heartache I experienced.  I hoped to help others realize that there is help out there!  I started blogging about my experiences and sharing some real estate advice.

My second child: CityHouseCountryhouse

My wonderful mother, and mentor, had the idea we could share our ideas in a blog.  She would share her experience as a successful suburban realtor and I could share my rural experiences!  It was brilliant.  “Cityhouse Countryhouse” was born.  I moved my real estate blogs to this site in hopes of reaching a wider audience.’
