Where is Linn?
As a Buyer, you can usually drive around your neighborhood and get good comparables for your home. It may have been built by the same Builder and you know there were several floor plan options and fascia decisions but overall you know what you are seeing. Same goes for Bucktown, the Wrigleyville area or into the northern burbs of Libertyville and Crystal Lake. You can drive by and know the neighborhood, the schools and get a general feel for the area. The Lakes area can be a little more difficult and it pays to develop a relationship with a Realtor who knows the legal bodies that overlap the communities that surround Geneva Lake and others. Where is Linn and why does it have a Lake Geneva address? Where is Geneva? Where does Fontana end and Linn start? Should you care? Yes. Taxing bodies matter between all of those communities. Add on lake front, lake access, associations, lake views, no lake views, condominiums, buoys, piers, ramps, waiting lists, no land, some land, well and septic along with municipal sewer and water decisions and you realize that this takes some education. Then change Lakes. It pays to work with a Realtor who knows the area. These communities are our neighborhood!
