Build Your Dream Home... on the Golf Course. ⛳

I've got a homesite that doesn't come around often — 2305 Stricker Lane in Urbana, backing directly to Atkins Golf Club at the University of Illinois, home turf for the U of I men's and women's golf teams. Grab a bite or watch the game at Oskee's Sports Bar, then head out for a walk on miles of trails right outside your door.

This lot sits inside Stone Creek, a 500-acre community with five distinct neighborhoods — The Enclave, Fairways, Highlands, Reserve, and The Greens — minutes from shopping at The Pines and local favorites. And right now, the club is in the middle of course renovations, a clubhouse update, and a new restaurant on the way. The timing to build here? Pretty ideal.

Bonus: this lot may qualify for the City of Urbana Tax Program, which could mean real property tax savings on your new build for the first five years. Give me a call and I'll walk you through the terms and eligibility.

Golf course lots in Stone Creek are highly sought after, so don't ponder long! Let's start the conversation about building your future here.

Think probate in Illinois is quick? Think again. 👀

There's a required 6-month creditor window before an estate can even close — and that's just the start. No will? No named executor? That can add even more time to the process.

The good news: your home doesn't have to sit empty while you wait. You can list it — even go under contract — during probate.

I broke down exactly how Illinois probate timelines work (and what you can do in the meantime) in this week's video 🎥⬇️

🏡⛳ Start your day on the course or grab your coffee and watch the golfers tee off — from your own backyard.

I've got a homesite at 3061 E Stone Creek Boulevard in Urbana that backs directly to Atkins Golf Club at the University of Illinois — yes, home turf for the U of I men's and women's golf teams. This is Stone Creek living at its best: 500 acres, five neighborhoods (The Enclave, Fairways, Highlands, Reserve, and The Greens), and a lifestyle built around getting outside. You're minutes from The Pines for shopping, plenty of local restaurants, and miles of walking and bike paths right out your front door.

And the timing couldn't be better — Atkins is mid-renovation with course upgrades, a clubhouse refresh, and a brand-new restaurant on the way. You'd be building right as the whole club levels up.

Here's the bonus: this lot qualifies for the City of Urbana Tax Program, which could mean real property tax savings on your new build for the first five years. Every buyer's situation is different, so call me and I'll walk you through the terms and eligibility myself.

Golf course lots in Stone Creek move fast — they always do. If you've been waiting for the right piece of ground to build your dream home on, this might be it.

10 things I wish somebody had told me before I moved to Champaign-Urbana.

I've lived here for decades, sold over a thousand homes in this town, and I'm still learning great things about it every day. But these 10? These are the ones that would've saved me time, money, and a few headaches early on — the stuff nobody puts in a relocation packet.

New video is up. Link below👇

Which one are you most curious about — neighborhoods, schools, or the weather truth nobody warns you about? 🎥

We don't get to choose everything that happens to us. The weather. Other people's moods. The way a day unfolds without asking permission.

But perspective? That's the one thing that stays ours.

Same rain, different umbrella. Same setback, a completely different story depending on who's telling it. How something is framed usually decides what happens next.

Control the lens, and the picture changes. 🌿

New Listing: 204 N White St, Sidney, IL 🏡

Small town living with room to actually spread out — this one's got it.

Picture your mornings on the screened back porch, coffee in hand, watching the sun hit a backyard lined with mature trees. That view alone might sell you.

This bi-level sits on a quiet dead-end street in the Unity 7 school district, with 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and 2,184 finished square feet to work with.

Inside, the kitchen was renovated in 2015 with quartz counters, a big island, stainless steel appliances, and bamboo flooring — the open-concept layout makes it the natural gathering spot. New carpet runs throughout, and the lower level brings a bedroom addition, full bath, family room, and a wet bar for whatever "spreading out" looks like for you.

The big-ticket stuff is already handled: roof and front door (2019), all interior doors (2018), garage doors (2017), plus a radon system already installed.

Dead-end street. Big yard. Real space. Sidney might be exactly what you've been looking for.

Should You Move to Champaign-Urbana? Skip the Top 10 Lists. 🏡

They all say the same three things: university town, farmland, Big Ten sports. None of that tells you what it's actually like to live here.

This isn't one town — it's Champaign, Urbana, Savoy, Mahomet, Tolono, St. Joseph, each with its own feel. Picking the wrong one for your life stage is the #1 mistake I see relocation buyers make.

This week: the money question everyone's really asking, and why so many people from Chicago and beyond end up staying once they see the numbers. 🎥 Full breakdown in the video.

📍 Seriously considering the move? Comment "MOVE" and I'll send you my full town-by-town guide — who each area is actually good for.

🔁 New episode every week. By the time you're ready to decide, you'll already know more than people who've lived here for years.

Nobody quits one step from the finish line because they failed ❌. They quit because a voice in their head talked them out of the next step. 🗣️

Failure actually teaches you something — a lesson, a redirect, a little proof of what doesn't work. 💡 Doubt doesn't teach anything. It just lingers 🌫️ until you stop trying long enough to never know what could've been.

So here's the truth nobody puts on a poster: the dream doesn't fade when you fail. It fades in the pause right before you try. ⏳

Take the step anyway. 🔥
Make it a POWERFUL week,
~Rose
