The first place most people start would be in various printed publications such as Collinsville newspapers & Collinsville homes for sale magazines.
The problem I have always had with newspaper ads is they are usually two weeks behind. Some Real Estate offices have this down to an art, they will put out a full page ad with color pictures, give a poetic description, no address, maybe 3 lines of text and the office phone number. [Read More] |

One dictionary says that negotiation is:
"To discuss with a view to reaching an agreement"
Negotiation is the ability to change the opinions of others through
a climate of Favor; instead of Force...
It takes tact, not tyranny, honey, not vinegar... A cool head will get
you ahead... The person with the ego loses.
Some will lie to achieve their goal.
Some will steal to achieve their goal.
Some will terminate your friendship to achieve their goal.
Stay alert to anyone attempting to deceive you. [Read More]

The village that first occupied the site that would eventually become Collinsville IL. was initially called Downing's Station. In 1822 the Collins brothers changed the name to Unionville to emphasize harmony and unity in the town. Postal records show that the Unionville Post Office was discontinued December 13, 1823, as another Unionville Post Office already existed in Illinois. The residents petitioned for restoration of the Post Office. The resident's request was granted, but a new name was required. The name selected was Collinsville, which became the official villiage name on December 21, 1825. [Read More] |
