If you have not bought or sold a home in several years, you are not alone. The real estate market has changed in ways that can be hard to keep up with, especially if you have not needed to pay attention. Interest rates look different than they did five or ten years ago. Buyer expectations have shifted. Pricing strategy matters more than ever. And for many longtime homeowners in Downers Grove and the surrounding western suburbs of DuPage County, it can be genuinely difficult to know what is current advice and what is outdated.
That is exactly why we are hosting a relaxed morning of coffee and real estate conversation. Not a seminar. Not a sales pitch. Just a chance to sit down with us, have a cup of coffee, and ask whatever questions are on your mind.
Join Us at Roasted Elements Coffee
- Where: Roasted Elements Coffee, 4955 Fairview Avenue, Downers Grove, IL
- When: Saturday March 28th
- Time: 9:00 AM to 12:00 Noon
Roasted Elements is a wonderful little neighborhood coffee shop right here in Downers Grove, and we are thrilled to be spending our morning there. Come sit down with us, enjoy a cup of coffee, and let's talk. There is no formal presentation, no program, and no agenda. Just real conversations with real answers.
Who This Is For
Do you wonder if now is the right time to sell? Are you thinking about making a move up to a better home but not sure where to start? Has the house started to feel too big now that the kids are gone? Do you have no idea what your home is worth in today's market?
Most homeowners have questions like these. They just do not always have someone they trust to ask. Come in on March 28th and let's talk about it over a great cup of coffee.
What You Can Expect
This is not a workshop or a formal event. Think of it as a conversation over coffee with your local real estate team. You can stay five minutes or thirty. You can ask one question or many. Whatever works for you.
What you will get is straightforward, honest, local insight from Shanon Tully and The Tully Team at Platinum Partners Realtors. We work in Downers Grove, Woodridge, Westmont, Lemont, and communities throughout DuPage County's western suburbs every single day. We know this market and we are happy to share what we know.
Financing Questions? Our Lending Partner Will Be There Too
One of the biggest sources of confusion for homeowners right now is financing. How have mortgage rates really changed? What can I actually afford if I sell and buy something else? Is now a good time to move given where rates are?
We are pleased to have Sylvia Wolicki, Mortgage Loan Originator at Neighborhood Loans, joining us on March 28th to answer exactly these kinds of questions. Sylvia is a trusted lending partner and a straight talker who can give you a real picture of what financing looks like in today's market, with no obligation and no pressure.

Why We Are Doing This
Many homeowners in Downers Grove and nearby neighborhoods have been in their homes for a long time. Life gets busy. Real estate was not something you needed to think about. But markets evolve, and being informed helps you make confident decisions when the time does come, whether that is six months from now or three years from now.
We believe good information should feel accessible, not overwhelming. A relaxed Saturday morning over a great cup of coffee at a local shop seemed like exactly the right way to make that happen.
Supporting a Local Business We Love
We are proud to be spending our morning at Roasted Elements Coffee, a charming, locally owned coffee shop right here in Downers Grove with a loyal following and a great cup of coffee to back it up. Supporting local businesses while connecting with our community is something we care about deeply. When neighbors show up for each other, everyone benefits.
No RSVP Required
You do not need to register or RSVP. Simply stop by anytime between 9:00 AM and Noon on Saturday March 28th at Roasted Elements Coffee, 4955 Fairview Avenue in Downers Grove. We will be there and we would love to see you.
If you cannot make it but still have questions about the Downers Grove real estate market, do not hesitate to reach out directly. We are always happy to be a resource for our community.
We hope to see you on March 28th.
