Gobble gobble! We absolutely love this time of year. As we reflect on the past year, we have much to give thanks for. Our fantastic Clients, Team, families and friends. Thanksgiving snuck up on all of us as we were lulled into thinking that the 70° weather was going to stay with us.

Last weekend we held our annual shredding event and collection for the Glen Ellyn Food Pantry. Thank you again to everyone that came by. We had a carload of items for the food pantry and a generous cash donation. The winners of our Thanksgiving pie raffle are Stephanie and Rich Gianacakos, Diana Lahood and Julie Rivera. We will be delivering a pie to their home just in time for Thanksgiving. Yummy!! Inventory is still very very low and the interest rates seem to be holding right now. If you are thinking of selling, please give us a call we would love to come by to do a market analysis and help you prep for the upcoming Spring market or visit our website for more information on buying and selling! Happy Thanksgiving to all from the Quaid and Rooney Team. Please share any Thanksgiving pictures on our social media 😊 If you are thinking of buying or selling, now or in the future, give us a call today 630.790.5904 Kathy and Maureen

From all of us at Quaid and Rooney,
Setting the Thanksgiving Table
Thanksgiving marks the beginning of the holiday season for most of us. It’s the time of year when you gather with family and friends and reflect on what you’re grateful for. It’s also an excuse to eat delicious food with the ones you love - and your table décor is almost as important as the food you serve.
A natural Thanksgiving tablescape complete with greenery runner and pinecones is sure to be a hit! The taper candles add a much-appreciated touch of elegance.
If you find that you will be celebrating in a mild climate this year, take your Thanksgiving meal outside. Use items from around your garden and, in case needed, keep blankets close at hand for when the temperature drops at night.

You might opt for a minimalist presentation and keep things simple with a centerpiece of white pumpkins…  …or go classic and formal with patterned plates paired with clear glassware, gold flatware and a black table backdrop.  No matter how you choose to style your table, we know that you will have a wonderful Thanksgiving and a fabulous kick-off to the Holiday season!  Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at Quaid and Rooney!

Our team is top-notch! This is our chance to introduce a member of our incredible team that help make Quaid and Rooney one we are proud of. Feel free to reach out and say hello!
A 30-year resident of Glen Ellyn and a lifelong native of western Chicagoland, homeowner, and mother to four grown children, Michelle likes to say nothing has not happened. Her clients appreciate her extensive knowledge of what every home needs and find her first-hand experience invaluable. Michelle loves being a real estate broker. The happiness she feels when her clients find their future home is what motivates her.
Michelle does not just help her clients find a good home; she helps them begin a new chapter in whatever part of life they are in. She always asks her clients to try to envision themselves living in the homes she shows them. She takes the time to understand how they live not just where they will live. Her clients must love the house, or she will not stop until she finds “the one.”
In addition to her career in real estate, Michelle is also an active member of her community. You will find her at Glenbard South HS, her church and various charities. Now an empty nester, Michelle and her husband spend time walking or biking through the Morton Arboretum, at the theater or dining in downtown Chicago.
