🌧️ Due to severe storms forecasted for Wednesday, we've made the decision to move this week's Wednesday Evening Market to Thursday, June 18.

Join us from 5:00–8:00 PM at the Peace Plaza (100 N. Island Ave.) for an evening of local produce, handmade goods, fresh foods, and live music alongside the Batavia Park District's River Rhapsody Concert Series featuring The Chicago Rockhouse (beginning at 7pm at Peg Bond Center.)

We look forward to seeing you on Thursday for a beautiful evening in downtown Batavia! ☀️🛍️🎶

🏡 Curious what your home is worth?

I recently put together a market snapshot for a Batavia homeowner who has lived in their home for nearly 9 years. One thing that stood out? Many homeowners are surprised by how much equity they've built simply by owning their home and letting time do its thing.

Over the past decade, Batavia home values have seen significant appreciation, and even over the last two years we've continued to see strong growth and buyer demand.

If you've been in your home for several years and are wondering:
✔️ What homes similar to yours are selling for
✔️ What's currently on the market or under contract
✔️ How much equity you may have built
✔️ How today's market compares to when you bought

I'd be happy to put together a complimentary market snapshot for you.

No pressure. No obligation. Just good information from a local Realtor and Batavia neighbor.

Send me a message or stop by The Move Smarter Team booth at the Batavia Farmers' Market this summer!

Well, Mother Nature wins this round. ☔️⚾️

After keeping a close eye on the forecast, we've decided to postpone tonight's Client Appreciation Event at the Kane County Cougars game.

While we're bummed we won't get to see everyone tonight, we'd rather celebrate on a beautiful summer evening than spend the night watching radar and dodging storms.

The good news is we already have a new date!
📅 Save the Date: Thursday, July 30th

Maybe today's date just wasn't meant to be, and July 30th is the date we're supposed to celebrate together. 😊

If you were planning to attend, don't worry—we'll be sending out a new invitation and RSVP information soon.

Thank you to everyone who RSVP'd and for your continued support. We can't wait to spend a fun summer evening at the ballpark with all of you on July 30th!

💕 Love Where You Live 💕

This Valentine’s season, we’re inviting you to pause and reflect…

What do you love about where you live?
Is it the neighbors who wave every morning?
The schools that pour into your kids?
The small businesses you visit every weekend?
The quiet streets, the parks, the familiar faces?

In the middle of busy schedules and everyday life, it’s easy to forget how special “home” really is.

Here at The Move Smarter Team, we don’t just sell houses — we help families find places where life happens.

Geneva. Batavia. Wheaton. And all the communities in between.
Drop a comment below and tell us one thing you love about where you live 💙

Happy Valentine’s Day from our team to yours.
~Sam & Raul~
