If you’ve never been there, I’ll tell you a bit about my team’s office, a storefront I’ve occupied for the last 20+ years. It’s about 700 square feet. We have an exposed brick wall, a few desks and computers, a copy machine, internet and phones, a single-cup Nespresso machine, a refrigerator in the back for lunches, a bathroom with the basics, and a window facing the sidewalk which showcases our fabulous listings. Because the office is all open, we call the small round table in front our “conference room.” We also have a few plants, a credenza, a painting I did during Covid lockdown, a water cooler, and a few snacks we get from Costco (a rotating selection that always includes peanut butter-stuffed pretzels). That’s really it.
But from our rather modest physical space, my small but mighty team sells a lot of real estate. A LOT. The first quarter rankings were just published, and my team and I are ranked #5 in Cook County and #10 in all of Chicagoland - just over $51 million closed year-to-date (if I were one of those who overuse exclamation points, I would insert one here). Last year, we ranked in the top 10 teams in Chicago - again - for the 10th year in a row with $111 million sold. We have over $1.2 billion in all-time sales.
And there’s a reason for this. With years of experience, ingenuity, and 100% commitment, we are laser-focused on serving our sellers and buyers - and assisting them make the best decisions in a dynamic marketplace. It happens around the clock: we market, we negotiate, we counsel, we evaluate, we overcome obstacles, and we close the deals.
And, most of all, we care about you.
As always, have a great weekend (and feel free to stop by for a coffee and some peanut butter-stuffed pretzels)!

Farmers Markets are Back!
|
Chicago is home to roughly 30 open-air farmer's markets across many different neighborhoods with farmers from Illinois and surrounding states including Indiana, Michigan and Wisconsin participating.
Most of the markets are sponsored by the city and occur on one day of the week, with the exception of a few of the more popular ones, such as the Green City Market. In general, each market is open from 7:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
Products on offer typically include prepared foods, produce, meats, cheeses and dairy, as well as cut flowers, whole plants and specialty products like natural yarns and artwork. Click here for a complete list of Chicago's farmer's markets by location and day.
