So, your kids are grown and finally living on their own. Yeah, they may need just a bit of help with their rent, down payment, and health insurance (and uber bills, flights back home, iPhone upgrade, iPhone bills, iPhone accessories, exorbitant credit card interest payments, car insurance [only til 2039], European adventures, Amazon safaris, reveal parties, East Bank Club initiation fee, SoHo House initiation fee, and a few other incidentals).
But (hell yeah!!) they’re out of the house.
And it’s time to call Brad.
As your go-to guy for downsizing, upsizing or rightsizing, I sit down with you and - after we enjoy a scotch or two and a few chocolates (and some Parsons Chicken if you really care about my well-being) - we strategize, daydream, and brainstorm your next move - from the family home into a more “soothing” (carefree? idyllic? heavenly? sane? crazy?) empty nester-ish lifestyle.
Do you want a large condo where your kids and (real and/or imagined) grandkids can ALWAYS feel welcome? Or do you want a small (ish) apartment where the kids and (real and/or imagined) grandkids will know they're definitely NOT welcome and will need to Airbnb it if they come home for the holidays? Do you want to split your time and enjoy somewhere warm? Is a second home even realistic? What kind of additional services and/or amenities do you need now? In 20 years?
In anticipation of the move, are you FINALLY willing to pare down your Tupperware and grandma's china?
This next phase sometimes involves more than just real estate. A lot of emotions, memories, hopes and dreams. But I get you and I’m on your side. Let’s figure it out together.

Every October, more than 45,000 runners hit the streets of Chicago for the Bank of America Chicago Marathon, taking a 26.2 mile tour of the city by foot. While it's too late to enter the race (and complete weeks of grueling training), you can join tens of thousands of spectators on the city's streets to cheer on participants as they make their way through the course. The start and finish line in Grant Park isn't open to the public, but you can head to neighborhoods like Pilsen, Chinatown, Boystown and Lincoln Park to join crowds of onlookers toting handmade signs, blaring music and encouraging all of the runners as they whiz by, or meet your runner at the reunite area of Grant Park starting at 9:30am. In some neighborhoods you have chances for 2 bites of the apple, including East Lakeview (north on the Inner Drive and south on Broadway) and Greektown (mile 14 & 17), where the neighborhood will have a DJ, sign-making station, complimentary coffee and Greek pastries.

Returning to a two-acre plot of land just west of Goose Island, Jack's Pumpkin Pop-Up saves you a trip to the suburbs by bringing a huge corn maze, more than 10,000 pumpkins, axe throwing, carnival games, food trucks, twinkling orange light displays and more fall fun to the city. A general admission ticket nets you access to the pop-up, but you can also opt for add-ons that let you take home a pumpkin, grab a drink at one of bars or go axe throwing.
