chicago condos: Urgent! Your Attention Is Required - Changes to The Chicago Condominium Refues Rebate Program - 01/11/12 10:25 AM
The Chicago City Council has announced significant changes to the Condominium Refuse Rebate Program. Among the most important is the change in the date for accepting applications. The final day that 2011 refuse rebate applications will be accepted is January 31, 2012.
If your association or property management company does not file the proper paperwork with your Alderman's office by January 31, the city council will not recognize you, the condo owner, as a participant of the rebate program and you will no longer be eligible...period. You will lose your eligibility to seek future rebates. There will be no extensions, … (5 comments)

chicago condos: It's Hot Out There...In The Chicago Rental Market - 09/02/11 09:57 PM
During the boom market, many investors bought one or more Chicago condo units to lease out. Several buildings in downtown Chicago, were built with the intention of selling the units, but when the market changed, those buildings decided to lease instead. The term "Borrowminium" was coined by one of the downtown condo developers and has become a synonym for buildings built for sales but converted to rentals out of financial necessity.
These days there is an abundance of rentals in downtown Chicago. That's the good news for potential renters. The bad news is that they are moving fast. Some are … (3 comments)

chicago condos: Friday + Great weather in Chicago = A tough day to work indoors - 06/18/11 12:18 AM
Friday + Great weather in Chicago = A tough day to work indoors.
Sightseers and shoppers were out in droves.
[Welcome, welcome!]
Beach-goers got an early start on the weekend. This was the view from the window of the Prudential Rubloff offices as swimmers and sunbathers began to gather at Chicago's Oak Street beach. (Forgive the cellphone photo.)
Fortunately, I wasn't indoors all day. I actually spent most of the day out of the office. At one of my showings we saw a couple exchanging wedding vows on the rooftop pool area on the … (5 comments)

chicago condos: Chicago, IL 60616 - Prairie Avenue Historic District - 03/27/10 11:59 PM
After the Chicago Fire of 1871, Chicagoans sought a new place to build. The southern part of the city was most desirable because residents would not have to cross the Chicago river to go into town to shop or handle their business affairs. By 1877, Chicago's three wealthiest citizens, Philip D. Armour, Marhsall Field, and George Pullman all lived within a 4 block stretch of South Prairie Avenue. The rebuilding of Chicago after the fire was supported in large part by philanthropic efforts of Prairie Avenue residents. By the time Chicago hosted the 1883 World's Expostion, the Chicago … (2 comments)

chicago condos: Does It Get Any Better? - 02/18/10 11:40 PM
I have been helping busier, more experienced agents by taking their buyers out when the agents are unavailable. Today I was called on to take some buyers out for a series of second showings. The buyers were a lovely couple who were looking for an "in-town" condo in the South Loop. We spent the morning visiting several buildings in Museum Park.
Here in Chicago we've had an exceptionally long string of overcast days. Most of our South Loop showings are in lakefront condos with spectacular views. Lately those views couldn't really be appreciated. But today was a different story. It … (9 comments)

chicago condos: A Community Is Built One Home At A Time - 02/06/10 11:33 PM
"A community is built one home at a time."
I just love that expression. I heard it today while at a training session. I am beginning a six week training to be a docent at the Glessner House Museum. John and Sarah Glessner built their home on South Prairie Avenue, in what is now known as the South Loop. In the late 1800's-early 1900's, an address on South Prairie Avenue, between 18th and 21st Streets was the address to have for prominent families of the day. Over the years, the Glessner House has been a family residence, an off-site classroom facility … (2 comments)

chicago condos: Would You Marry You? - 01/06/10 07:43 PM
As I sat here catching up on the evening news, I began to channel surf during commercials. I landed on a local talk show and the topic was about relationships and "Would You Marry You?" I watched it for a moment and began to continue to surf channels when it dawned on me how this also relates to real estate. Is it just me, or does everything seem to relate to real estate? Just askin'. Anyway, as I continued to watch, I thought about the title some more. Realtors counsel sellers to make their homes as attractive as possible to potential … (14 comments)
