Tempted by the easy way out, I always avoid the line at the supermarket and go straight for the self check-out. And, invariably, I screw up scanning, bagging and charging correctly. The light starts flashing, the alarm starts ringing, attendants come running, and they ultimately redo my check-out. Cowering, I look at the other people and imagine the names they’re calling me behind my back. Without fail, it always takes me longer to get out of the damn market than had I gone in the grown-up line in the first place.
So here’s this week’s lesson: I’m your grown-up real estate broker. Although you may be tempted to go with a discount brokerage or cut corners, don’t. In the end, you’ll come out way ahead and get more for your place if you just go straight to the correct line: me. My team and I will correctly package your property, make sure it’s positioned properly in the marketplace, and give you sage advice every step of the way.
And, best of all, no one will call you names.

Rhythms and Shubukai (among others) at Pritzker Pavilion; plus, the South Promenade will feature a Teen Village, hosted by Chance the Rapper's nonprofit SocialWorks, where youth ages 14-21 can find music and dancing, games, footwork lessons by Open the Circle, a performance by Goon Squad and an open mic session.
