Auction slated for Edward Hines Lumber assets
Crains Real Estate Daily reportd that yet another home-town company, Edward Hines Lumber Company, with corporate offices in Buffalo Grove, IL will be auctioned off.
When my husband and I general contracted and built our dream home, Hines was the main supplier for our enormous real estate endeavor. They provided outstanding customer service - we knew that first hand, as we were just in our mid-twenties and building our dream home. They offered explanations, answered questions, and helped us with the big task of bidding out the house costs, so we actually knew our budget and what we were spending, before ever breaking ground.
That awesome hands-on general contracting experience caused me to be unlike most Realtors - I had the experience and sweat [equity] of knowing what it takes to spend 7 months... every night "going to the house' and every weekend accomplishing yet one more task. No one worked harder than my husband and me. Thank goodness my Uncle Bud came out of retirement to put up the shell of a 5 bedroom home in just 2 weeks - he was a pro as he walked the rafters at 60-someting years old.
Edward Hines provided us with an education that you just can't get today - Hines, you guys were the best - you'll be missed in our neck of the woods... in the big box stores they just don't get it...
