Into the weekend...

A man in a Cubs cap holds a baby and a Chicago Association of Realtors Platinum Sales Award.

Unfortunately for Bad Bunny (and, really, the rest of the country), I had a listing appointment last Sunday and couldn’t join him, Gaga and Ricky onstage for our magic moment. Thankfully, the show still had to go on and I think they held their own very nicely even without me. Our message of love, respect, and inclusion was instilled in the homes of millions of our fellow Americans. And I’m proud of that.

 

Although he’s a bit younger and grew up far away from Chicago, it’s not a far leap to see where Bad Bunny has drawn his inspiration. Even though he’s never said it publicly, the influence of the Brad Lippitz Group is unmistakable. The passion he brings to his game, the love of people and humanity, the twerks and thrusts, and yes - even Zara…it all leads to The Brad Lippitz Group.

 

Bad Bunny knows that we at the Brad Lippitz Group love ALL our condos, coops, and single family houses - regardless of their size, age, exposure, constitution, color or orientation. 

 

Like Bad Bunny, there was even a (brief) moment a few months ago when I considered giving all our platinum Chicago Association of Realtors awards to my great nephew, little Jonah. (Instead, I think we can photoshop the awards with Jonah on the cover of his baby book).

 

Yes, my friends, never forget how your actions can impact others.

 

So with the power of positivity - and the choice of love over hate - Bad Bunny joins me in saying …

 

Have a great weekend!

 

Best,

Brad
