My buyers often experience that “gotcha!” moment when they recognized that a home they’re touring has been staged. They snicker, they roll their eyes, they confide in me that THEY KNOW.
But something else happens too: they feel good. It’s a nice thing to see a house without a seller’s dirty dishes in the sink, underwear in the hamper, and the kids’ Crayolas and paste smeared on the dining room table. Even though a home may be obviously staged, it allows us to recognize what it could look like if we lived there (as if); and it certainly invites us to see the house in its best light.
So, dear buyers, please withhold your snickering because the time will come when you sell your place and I’m going to insist on putting an orchid on your console and ultra luxe hand soaps in your powder room.

Opening Weekend at Wrigley
|
Bundle up (see Brad's Spring baseball outfit of choice above) and head out to the Friendly Confines for Opening Weekend of Cubs baseball 2022. Not only will you get to see Cubbies' NL Central arch rivals the Milwaukee Brewers at Wrigley, you'll also witness the first NL weekend with designated hitters, among other new rules in place. Sure, traditionalists are upset about losing all the strategic decisions managers had to make (having the pitcher bat or taking him out and replacing him with a "real" hitter), but many others are looking forward to more offense and not an all-but-certain out. Yes, it was incredibly exciting when a pitcher hit a home run, but more often than not it was a rally killer.

Revel in the fun of watching a boozy rendition of one of the Bard's classics. Taking place on a stage in a hidden speakeasy located behind the Chicago Theater, guests will find a glam cocktail bar and library with over 10,000 books. Five classically-trained actors meet as members of “The Drunk Shakespeare Society”. One of them has had at least 5 shots of whiskey and then they (quite over-confidently) attempt to perform a major role in a Shakespearean play! Hilarity and mayhem ensue while the four sober actors try and keep the script on track. Every show is different depending on who is drinking… and what they’re drinking!
