In a hot, often competitive, real estate market, emotions are high with both buyers and sellers trying to navigate this fraught landscape. This is relatively recent development in Chicago, and it places a home, our most precious asset, at the center of it all.
Often my clients are offended by the behavior of the other side. In contract negotiations, people delay, they refuse to counter-offer, they counter-offer with new entirely unacceptable terms, or they refuse to respond at all.
In short, buyers and sellers will exercise whatever negotiating power they think they may have.
As an attorney, I was taught the “reasonable person” standard: conduct is often governed by what a reasonable person would do. This is a nice tidy standard. However, in heated contract negotiations, there is unfortunately no law requiring either buyer or seller to be reasonable.
Sure, the clients’ advocates must abide by ethical standards; but buyers and sellers can be mean, selfish, nasty, confrontational, and unforgiving. They can be silly and petty. And yes, they can be unreasonable.
The good thing for you is that you have me! I’ll help you see through all the fog, smoke and noise, and I will tirelessly advocate on your behalf to get the best deal possible.
No matter how unreasonable the other side may be.

Green City Market, Chicago’s largest and first sustainable farmers market, will return at 7 a.m. on Saturday, May 1 in Lincoln Park. As reported in Eater Chicago by Naomi Weiss, James Beard Award-winning chef Beverly Kim (Parachute, Wherewithall) will be there to mark the occasion and talk about her favorite produce, according to a rep. Markets are then slated to run on Wednesdays and Saturdays through the end of October.
New produce vendors will be on the scene including Star Farms Chicago, an urban vegetable farm based in Back of the Yards, and heirloom-only Frillman Farms in Lake County, Illinois. Midwestern-focused restaurant Dasies — owned and operated by Joe Frillman, whose brother runs Frillman Farms — will also join the market with ragu, pesto, and fresh pasta.
