Singular Properties Newsletter

October 2011
Issue One    


Welcome,  Bienvenue,  Witamy,  Willkommen




Dear Friends & Associates,  

 

Thank you for looking at our first monthly newsletter!   

 

I appreciate the opportunity to offer to you my monthly newsletter which will contain informative home tips, some green thoughts and general real estate ideas.   

 

As a homeowner I hope that I can offer to you information that will be interesting and welcome you back each month.  Please give me a call at 630-327-4260 if you have questions or if I may be of immediate service to you and your family. 

 

As most of you who know me, I have been a Real Estate broker since 1986 and also the owner of Lane Custom Homes.  I have now moved away from the construction of homes and into real estate sales and I'm offering my extensive knowledge and experience to my clients.  I have been selling my own homes since I started in business in 1984 and really want to bring my knowledge and skill in sales to your benefit.  

More about me ... 

Best regards,  

   Stephen Lane

Saving $$ and Adding Comfort

Heating Season is Just  

Around the Corner

 

Furnance Santa Claus

 We all know to check the heating system at the beginning of the season for working condition although did you know that your furnace and A/C unit only lasts about 15 to 20 years?   

   

Need a Heating & Cooling Referral?

 

I've worked with Henry Alvarez exclusively for 5 years and he is:     

  • Great troubleshooter
  • Honorable guy
  • Small company with lower prices because of lower overhead

Ask Henry ...  

about UV furnace lights and possible upgrade to your units

Did you know that some of your stuff that you just "toss away" can

earn you some $$$

 

Your OLD cell phones for example ...

 

I just returned one of the my kid's old cell phones and got $12.00 BACK!   

The company paid postage as well.   

 

Contact me if you want to know more! 

 

Beats tossing it in the trash,  

especially today!

Our Favorite "Green" Things

 

We've had a "Light bulb Moment" 

 

 Tried & True!  I have these in my home and they are GREAT.  The color is o.k. NOT too white or too yellow.  Try one FIRST, they are somewhat expensive at $24.00 each.  

I can only find at Home Depot, at least locally.  LED saves you about 80% versus incandescent.
