Feng Shui Your Naperville Home

Feng Shui Your Naperville Home

This ancient Chinese practice is popular in Naperville, where homeowners have the benefit of Feng Shui consultants ready to help them bring positive energy flow into their homes and lives.


Feng Shui is the delicate balance of energies in a home and it has been practiced in China for over 3000 years.  Pronounced ‘Fung Shway’, its literal translation is ‘Wind Water’.   It is a practice based on Taoist philosophy, which puts a great deal of emphasis on living in harmony with nature.  The belief promotes that the land is alive and brimming with energy, or ‘chi’ (pronounced ‘chee’).  This in turn means that your Naperville home is alive and full of chi as well and needs to be arranged in such a way that the chi can be maximized.
Here are some steps you can take to improve the feng shui of your Naperville home.

Get Rid of Clutter
The very process of clearing out clutter is therapeutic.  When it applies to feng shui, it’s an essential step to remove objects that will block the path of good energy flow.

Bring In Light And Air
Open the windows often.  Add plants and air purifiers.  Allow ‘flow’ of natural light as much as possible and use full-spectrum lights.

Create Your Bagua Map
You will need a compass and a bagua map to determine the needs of your home.  A bagua map is the energy map of your home.  Drawing one specific to your home will help you determine which areas will help you maximize improving your Chi for specific areas of your life.

Use Feng Shui Elements in Harmony and Balance
Use a balance of the five feng shui elements: wood, fire, earth, metal, and water, for a healthy energy flow.  Specific elements and their positions in your Naperville home can be used to enhance health, love, wealth, career, wisdom/knowledge, reputation/fame, children/creativity and helpful people.

Get A Good Understanding of Feng Shui
There are different levels of Feng Shui.  You can easily learn the basics from online resources.  If you think your home needs some serious work, then contact a consultant.
There are many steps you can take to begin basic feng shui, a bit of online research will get you well on your way to making immediate improvements.

Naperville and Bolingbrook Listed Amongst Top 50 Places To Live In the United States

Naperville and Bolingbrook Listed Amongst Top 50 Places To Live In the United States

Money Magazine lists Naperville and Bolingbrook on Best Places to Live .

The Village of Bolingbrook and the City of Naperville have once again made it to Money Magazine’s annual “Best Places to Live” as the highest-ranked cities in Illinois. 
 Top Places to Live in Illinois

Naperville ranked no. 33 in 2014 while Bolingbrook was 38th. The two were the only suburbs in IL to make it to the top 50 Best Places to Live.

According to Money Magazine, when Mayor Roger Claar was first appointed as Bolingbrook Mayor in 1986, he made a vow to bring in more jobs and economic opportunities in Bolingbrook IL, and he kept that promise. Claar’s initiatives brought growth to the village’s office, industrial, and manufacturing space increasing it to a whopping 32 million. Companies like Southern Wine and Spirits and West Liberty Foods now operate in Bolingbrook IL.

Money also mentioned the “notably diverse population” in Bolingbrook, also mentioning the village’s Rocket Ice Arena, golf courses, and the girls’ basketball team who already won four state high school championships.

Meanwhile, Naperville made it once again to the Best Places to Live In because of its “cosmopolitan feel,” highly-rated schools, one of the best family-friendly and safest neighborhoods in the Chicago area suburbs.

Additional perks to living in Naperville IL is its vibrant downtown and pedestrian-friendly center with more than 50 restaurants, art galleries, boutiques and live music clubs, according to Money.

The rankings are based on data from the 781 cities in the United States with populations between 50,000 and 300,000. Key factors include housing affordability, jobs, crime, education, health, economic opportunity, diversity, arts and leisure.

In addition to Naperville being No. 33 in the “Best Places to Live In” ranking, it was ranked No. 14 in Money Magazine’s list of “Top Earning Towns.” Money also considered Naperville’s location on the I-88 technology and research corridor as a big factor for providing local jobs.

Naperville has been consistently ranked on many ‘Best Of” lists over the years. In 2014, it was ranked “4th snobbiest Mid-size City in the U.S.” by Movoto Real Estate, “6th Most Intelligent Mid-size City in the U.S.” by MyLife.com, Inc. and “8th Most Family-Friendly in Illinois” by CreditDonkey.com.

7 Staging Tips to Make Your Naperville Luxury Home Tour Memorable

7 Staging Tips to Make Your Naperville Luxury Home Tour Memorable


Make Your Naperville Luxury Home Stand Out With These Top Staging Tips From A Luxury Real Estate Expert

Make your Naperville Luxury Home tour a truly memorable experience.


Staging your Naperville luxury home for sale is essential if you want it to stand apart from the competition.

Your Naperville luxury home for sale is unique in many ways -- I don’t doubt that you would have customized, refurbished, built-in, and expanded many features throughout the home.  Staging a home such as yours requires a higher level of presentation.
Here are the top luxury home staging tips you could do for your Naperville luxury home for sale:

Glamorize your curb appeal.

As a luxury homeowner, your property is almost certainly professionally landscaped.  Still, you can add features to make it really stand out.  Whether it’s new landscaping design or just adding an interesting feature like a fountain, keeping your curb appeal fresh and well-maintained is essential to getting a buyer’s attention.
You can also add exterior landscaping lights and update your door by replacing it with a more modern one or simply replacing the handle.

Make a memorable entrance.

Luxury home buyers have specific requirements and they are spoiled for choice.  When they view your home, you have a captive audience and a perfect opportunity to highlight its beautiful features.

Present an atmosphere that will appeal to all their senses from the moment they step into your elegant foyer.

You can put an oversized mirror or dramatic piece of artwork along the entryway and spruce up the smell of your home with fresh flowers and scented candles. Add elegant soft and comforting draperies or upholstery to the rooms closest to the foyer - make it spacious and bright.  Play soothing music at a low volume to add ambiance to their experience.

In the kitchen, leave out flutes of champagne or a non-alcoholic sparkling wine, fresh fruit and a tray of hors d'oeuvres for all to enjoy.  Remember, it’s all about a feeling of elegant living with a homely touch.

All these simple tips could spell a huge difference in creating a good first impression.

Modernize your kitchen.

Update your kitchen with stainless steel appliances, which immediately add perceived value to your kitchen. Adding a glass-front wine cooler could also boost your kitchen’s appeal to luxury home buyers.

Luxury kitchen trends include indoor kitchen herb gardens, discreet hidden drawers and storage, sensory faucets, and more - all of these options are easily added to your kitchen before your next open house.

Bring luxury into your bathroom

Give your bathroom a 5-star spa look. Your average luxury home buyer has probably been to some of the best spas in the world.  Knowing that they can escape into a world of indulgence in their own home, can immediately relax even the most stressed out executives.

When staging a master bathroom, lighting and ambiance are very important.  Add luxurious thick Egyptian cotton towels in colors that compliment, a wooden tray with scented candles, and a small painting or accessory.  Remove all your personal belongings from the bathroom.

Turn your master bedroom into a peaceful sanctuary.

The master bedroom is a most personal and sacred space, it should show comfort, peace, and seclusion -- your luxury home buyer wants this room to be their sanctuary, their private space.  Is there room for a reading nook by the window?  Add a recliner, a floor lamp and a side table with a few great classics on display.

Add a full length mirror, it will enhance the space.  Leave the bed, bedside table and dresser but remove all the other furniture.  It’s also a good idea to remove personal items like photographs, jewelry, and clutter.

Dress the bed with a skirt, add plush bed linen and a beautiful cover that will compliment the color of the room.  Add a headboard to the bed, if it allows for it.  Hang up a painting or art print on a couple of walls and fresh flowers or a plant to your dresser.  Make sure all the colors complement one another with one item really popping to draw attention to a main area -- like a bedspread.

Make your home sound good.

Hook up your music player to wireless speakers placed around your Naperville luxury home for sale and play soft classics during the open house and private viewings.

Dramatize your outdoor areas.

If you have a small patio, you can put an oversized leaning mirror on the wall to add perceived space to the area. Place a small table with two chairs, two placemats and elegant napkins to give the idea of an extended outdoor dining area. You could also hang a candle-lit chandelier or outdoor light above the table. Install white sheer mesh curtains around your outdoor areas or trellises to give the billowy relaxing feel of a luxurious resort. Outdoor living and dining rooms impress buyers and add perceived value to your home.

Add more appeal to your home with these 7 simple and fast staging tips. Giving your buyers more reasons to remember their positive open house visit will definitely help your Naperville Luxury home sell faster and at a higher price.

Why Naperville Luxury Homes are the Best Choice



Why Naperville Luxury Homes are the Best Choice


The market for luxury homes is off to a great start this year. In March 2013, the National Association of Realtors® released data showing a 7.8% increase of purchase for homes priced at 1 million or more. This unprecedented rise in sales is a clear indication that more buyers are getting interested in luxury homes.

Naperville IL Dream Homes for sale


If you’re planning to buy your dream home, here are the top reasons why Naperville luxury homes are the best choice for you.

Naperville Luxury homes are known for their elegant styles and picturesque park-like settings. They are often customized to the highest standards with top notch design and construction. Every detail is carefully designed to offer ultimate comfort and pleasure. Most of these homes have gleaming hardwood floors, expansive master suites, chef-quality kitchens with stainless steel appliances and other state of the art conveniences you need.

Additional features include high ceilings and open floor plans that are both spacious and welcoming.   You can easily entertain friends, family and business associates by hosting parties and social gatherings, and have your guests enjoy the wonderful ambiance of your beautiful Naperville luxury home.

Naperville’s upbeat lifestyle is another reason for buying a luxury home in one of the City’s exclusive neighborhoods. Once voted by Money Magazine as the second best place to live in the United States, Naperville has something to offer everyone. You can play golf with your associates, pamper yourself in one of the holistic spas, or just stroll around and take in the serene beauty of the Riverwalk. If you feel like shopping, there are several exclusive boutiques downtown that cater to your stylish taste.

Naperville is a thriving city with an amazing present and future.  For example, our most exciting new development is the new Water Street District (Marquette Real Estate Investments and developer of the Water Street District).  The district will offer residents more opportunities for leisure, business, dining and retail.

Naperville’s perfect location is the third reason for choosing Naperville Luxury homes. With Chicago only a 40 minute drive away, you’ll be close to all the excitement of the metro and still be far enough away to enjoy the tranquility of suburban living.

As an added bonus, Naperville’s award winning school district, arts and culture, historic district, golf courses and more are major attractions.  


If you’re looking for a trusted REALTOR® to help you find the best Naperville luxury home for sale, or for any real-estate related concerns, call Teresa Ryan at 630-276-7575. Teresa Ryan is the owner/broker of Ryan Hill Realty.

4 Tips to Win the Bid for Your Naperville IL Dream Home



4 Tips to Win the Bid for Your Naperville IL Dream Home



Naperville homes are in demand and sellers are getting bids from several homebuyers. If you like a property and think that it is priced well, chances are, you won’t be the only interested buyer. Make sure you have the best chance to win the bid for your Naperville dream home with these amazing tips:

Win the Bid for your Naperville IL Dream Home by following these steps


  • Get pre-approved. Ideally, you have to get pre-approved for your mortgage 3 or 4 months before you begin your search. A bank’s pre-approval means that your income and credit score were verified and that you can afford to pay the mortgage for certain amounts. In this competitive housing market, some sellers are only allowing buyers with pre-approval to view their property. Attach an up-to-date copy of the pre-approval letter with your offer.



  • Keep contingencies short and reasonable. Although most sellers prefer offers with no contingencies, it is unwise to waive them. Contingencies can provide protection if you want to cancel the contract without penalties. Always include a home-inspection contingency, but with an assurance that you’ll get it done immediately. That way, you can easily back out of the deal if the cost of repairs goes way over your budget.



  • Find out the seller’s motivation. Price is not always the number one reason the seller selects an offer. Enlist the help of your REALTOR® to find out what really motivated the sellers to put their Naperville IL home on the market. Make your offer suitable to meet their needs and timelines.



  • Make your best offer now. This may be the only chance you have to get the home of your dreams so make the best offer. A well-priced home in good condition will certainly attract many offers. If you hold back, you may lose the property to another buyer.


This is a great time to finally purchase the home for sale in Naperville IL that you’ve been dreaming of! Work with your trusted REALTOR® to negotiate the right price and contingencies so you can get the home you have fallen in love with.

If you need help in buying one of those lovely Naperville IL homes for sale, or for any real-estate related concerns, call Teresa Ryan at 630-276-7575. Teresa Ryan is the owner/broker of Ryan Hill Realty.
