Finding Barrington Properties For Sale
October 22, 2007 by LizLuby · Leave a Comment
We’re working hard to make it easier for people in the Chicago Northwest Suburbs, Barrington, Inverness, Palatine and Arlington Heights to find The Luby Group’s websites and blogs online. Soon we’ll have a network of blogs, branching out from http://Burbfeeder.com, which will help people get the word out about activities, events & resources in their neighborhoods, communities or suburbs. We’re also adding some great new property search tools to our main website, TheLubyGroup.com. There will be many more posts coming soon and please feel free to participate.
Thanks for your time and your interest,
Liz Luby
PS…We’re not huge fans of having our pictures taken, but every now and then we force ourselves to so we avoid having those really obvious outdated REALTOR photos. The photo above is our latest picture taken of the whole group. That’s me on the left next to Christine Snelgrove (our Administrative Assistant), Suzanne Luby (my mom/a.k.a. “The BOSS”) and Susan Prokos (our “Buyers Specialist”).

TheLubyGroup.com’s TOP 10 Bogus Visitor Email Addresses
October 19, 2007 by LizLuby · Leave a Comment
If you’ve read any of my previous posts, then you know that we’re in the throws of a major web presence overhaul. We’re adding all kinds of cool property search tools to our websites and we’ve given our main website a total facelift. Please feel free check out the new look and the goods at TheLubyGroup.com to access details about thousands of homes for sale in the Chicago Northwest Suburbs, Barrington, Inverness, Palatine and Arlington Heights. We still have plenty of listing info and stats to add, but we’re taking things one step at a time and having a little fun in the process.
All day yesterday I was collecting and organizing the email addresses of every visitor who has ever stopped by our website, and I had to laugh at some of the bogus email addresses people come up with. Don’t get me wrong, for the most part the visitors to our site are serious. They log in with their full names, phone numbers, property and email addresses. We love having these types of visitors and, over time, many of them become our clients. But we also get a kick out of the others, like Joe@Shmoe.com, Fred Flinstone at Bedrock@comcast.net and even good old Jeff Butthead at JButthead@Butthead.net. We don’t mind you looking, we understand what it feels like to not want to give up personal info and we’re not here to bother anyone who’s not interested in hearing from us. But we DO want to showcase some of your most creative “don’t bother me” email addresses and we’ve compiled a list of your TOP TEN BOGUS ONLINE ALIASES:
#10 * NoThanks@JustLetMeLook.com * Login: 7/2006
#09 * JoMamma@yahoo.com * Login: 12/2005
#08 * Abbott@Costello.com * Login: 06/2007
#07 * DontWannaRegister@yahoo.com * Login: 02/2007
#06 * NoneOfYourBusiness@NoChance.net * Login: 11/2005
#05 * Stinky@Winky.com * Login: 11/2006

#02 * Bart@Simpson.com * Login: 07/2006
#01 * BeamMeUp@Scottie.com * Login: 11/2006
Believe me, there are others that get an “X” rating or are simply to mean to mention. (REALTORS have feelings, too!) There’s just something about that login screen that so often rears its head online. Until you trust the source on the other side, I don’t blame you for proceeding with caution or under the alias of your favorite superhero. It’s fun to see the humor in these few because we go there too sometimes. In the end, we hope to earn your confidence by providing enough information to make us worth your while.
Thanks for reading.
Sincerely,
