What has happened in Wilmette, IL, real estate sin What has happened in Wilmette, IL, real estate since last week? We’re still seeing a steady stream of new inventory coming on the market. Since the number of new homes remains low, homes are still going under contract quickly.

It was Key Supporter’s Weekend at Dan’s Execut It was Key Supporter’s Weekend at Dan’s Executive MBA program this weekend. What a fun and invigorating weekend at Northwestern Kellogg’s School of Management @kelloggschool. We took business school classes, we enjoyed a wine tasting, we walked around campus on a beautiful weekend, and we had the opportunity to get to know the students and their key supporters. And we danced. 😁💃🏻 Although I was the fortunate one to attend the Key Supporter’s weekend, there is no way we could’ve made it through this year without our extended support system. Our teenage kids have been amazing in stepping up this year and helping with meals or household chores when both mom and dad work on weekends. Thank you to everyone who carpools with us. Our family would be lost without your help. It takes a village and we are so thankful for you. #northwesternkelloggemba #northwesternuniversity #executivemba #keysupporters #gratitude #ittakesavillage
