Below is all you will need to get
familiar with the Oak Park and River Forest public school systems and some of
the private programs within the communities. My written stuff below summarizes
the systems and the links will give you that final detail. Remember, I attended
some of these schools growing up in the OPRF area. I also have begun sending my
own kids into these schools. If you want me to send you copies of the school
report cards just fill out the form below.
Oak Park
Oak Park might not rank as high for their
public school system as River Forest but I feel Oak Park offers the most
complete package to serve a family from playschool, preschool, kindergarten,
elementary, middle, and on to high school.
A few years ago, Oak Park completed a $60
million physical and curriculum upgrade of its schools. The public elementary
and middle schools are divided into districts. This means where you live
decides what schools you will attend and there are rarely any exceptions. Some
of the schools score or rate better than others so obviously this translates
into some districts being more desirable to live in than others. When I take
you for your first tour of Oak Park and to look at some homes we can discuss
this at length at that time.
I attended Pilgrim Nursery School, Bye
School kindergarten, St. Giles 1-8th, and St. Ignatius College Prep for high
school. My daughters have attended YMCA Scampers & Wiggles program (awesome
experience), 1st United Church Nursery School (again an awesome experience) and
are now both at Oak Park's Holmes Elementary. My wife, Julie, and I have been
very impressed with Holmes. District 97 is a fantastic school system. I have a
4yr old boy in his last year of 1st United Nursery School. Oak Park public
schools
The River Forest public school system is
small and very successful in providing a top notch education and producing some
impressive scores and ratings. At the time I am writing this - the River Forest
public middle school (Roosevelt) ranks #3 in the state. River Forest (as well
as Oak Park) also has a number of outstanding private schools like Montessori
programs (Keystone, Alquin, Intercultural). Keep in mind River Forest is more
expensive to purchase in than Oak Park. Their excellent school system is one of
the reasons why..
The Elmwood Park school system is nothing to
overlook as it is currently ahead of state and national averages. The system
consists of two elementary schools, one middle school and one high school. The
website link below for Elmwood Park district 401 is very comprehensive!

Financing Your Home >Mortgage Myths
Nationwide surveys indicate that a large number of potential home buyers count themselves out of the market because of widely-held myths about home financing.
Some of the most prevalent myths include: 1) home buyers need large down payments (more than is actually the case); 2) the loan process works against people under age 35; 3) owning a home is more expensive than renting; and 4) minorities have no chance of getting a mortgage.
The surveys found that many people view the mortgage process as "difficult, stressful, and incomprehensible." Many qualified first-time buyers are unaware of special programs designed to make home ownership affordable to them. The home loan industry is always looking for new ways to dispel these myths because lenders want more business, not less. The alternatives to traditional 20% down, thirty-year fixed mortgages are astonishing. Mortgage brokers are experienced in explaining today's financing and debunking the myths.

My clients choose me because I am committed to serving their needs. My actions are timely. My advice is objective. My assistance is un-intimidating. My service is complete. My drive is your success.
It is a well-known fact that I utilize more technology-based marketing tools than any other area agent or firm! Digital photography, website advertising, and 24-hour availability are key elements to getting a home sold in today’s market. When you begin your search to buy a home or prepare to list a home, it makes sense to have somebody help you that knows homes. My wife Julie and I have fully restored two homes. Our first was a Chicago Bungalow on the North Side; in 2000 we complete and sold our English Cottage on the 900 block of Marion in Oak Park. These homes were not quick rehabs to make money. They were our homes filled with hard work (more than 50% of the labor was our own), fun memories, and quality finishing. We have recently embarked on a restoration that will (hopefully) be our last. We purchased a Victorian at 320 N. Euclid and estimate a restoration process of more than seven years. Taking care of my customers’ needs is job #1 and leads to long workweeks. This is all I do, everyday, seven days a week. Let me help you learn what to do and what NOT to do in order to get your home sold. If you are buying a home, your job is just as rigorous. I can help you with everything from home inspectors to mortgage brokers. Selling or buying… I help you with every detail to get you to that closing date.
