I am quite flattered that the Chicago Sun-Time’s SearchChicago-Homes Editor, Kay Severinsen, wrote about my post yesterday, “How Good are National Real Estate Websites for Searching for Homes for Sale?” in her article today, “This site tops for search results“.
Kay ran the same search for a house in Evanston priced between $400K and $500K with at least 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms on the SunTimes.com and the ChicagoTribune.com. She concluded that since her site returned 18 homes and the ChicagoTribune.com only returned 15, that her site is the “best bet”.
I respectfully disagree. The Sun-Times’ SearchChicago-Homes only returned 8 of the 13 homes I found when I ran that same search in Chicago’s multiple listing system. Thus, the site does not provide all homes listed in the Chicago Metro Area. In addition, it returned 5 multi-family properties. The search was for houses, not 2 flats and 3 flats. The SunTimes.com search also returned ...

Devin Hester (WR)
9/27: It is possible that Devin Hester could play for the Bears on Sunday, but only as a part-time offensive weapon, and not as a return man, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.

On to Game 2, and I don’t want to demean Chad Billingsley here, but he’s not tonight’s story. Don’t get me wrong - Billingsley ascended to become the true ace of the staff that so many had predicted he would be, and he was even better in the second half than the first, going 7-2 with a 2.99 ERA. In fact, save for a lousy outing in Pittsburgh on September 17th, Billingsley would have gone nearly three months without allowing more than three earned runs in a game, dating ba... more
Filed under: Cubs, Dodgers, MLB Fans, MLB PlayoffsBleacher Bums is MLB FanHouse’s look at those oh-so-fun fan adventures.I’ve always liked the Wrigley Field tradition of fans throwing back home runs hit by visiting players. Considering most fans will never get a chance to catch a home run, giving up the ball, a once-in-a-lifetime souvenir, just because a guy wearing the wrong color jersey hit it to you is the ultimate sign of fan loyalty. That said, there’s a right way and a wr... more

Gurnee Grazing From: chicagometroarearealestate.com Post Date: 2006-07-21 06:56:02
I had just finished showing a house last week in Gurnee when I saw this work of cow art in the subdivision’s common area. With an oil drum for a body, a milk can for a head and bicycle handles for horns, I can’t saw that this is exactly my kind of art. But it is eye-catching!

It appears that it isn’t only buyer agents who commit faux pauxs by contacting sellers directly. (See my previous post.) This week a buyer who knew a Norwood Park property was listed with me and even had his own agent called one of the sellers directly. One of the reasons sellers list their property with an agent is so that they don’t have to deal directly with buyers. Buyers who try to circumvent the agent to agent communication process typically annoy the seller which do... more
Yesterday another Realtor committed a major faux paux. He called one of my sellers directly. In a transaction, an agent should never contact the other agent’s client without permission. To protect clients’ interests, communication should always go through the agents.
If you are a buyer and a seller’s agent contacts you, direct him or her to your agent. Don’t answer any questions.
If you are a seller and a buyer’s agent contacts you, direct him or her to your age... more
I just had to stop and take pictures while driving to meet a client in the Barrington Area a couple of days ago. The humble abode shown is certainly not your typical Barrington property. However, I was especially struck by the for sale by owner sign in front of it. 6 bedrooms & 4+ baths???
Then I realized the sign was for the home set far back on the property. From a listing agent’s perspective, I would have no idea how to adjust the price for this additional feature!
