Chicago Now: Real Estate Still Alive and Some Worthy Causes

Despite all of the recent reports on home prices falling, there is still hope for Chicago Real Estate!  In fact, there is some good momentum down in the grass roots of the industry, namely the brokers and agents who continue to keep the faith and work hard for their clients.  I have been fortunate, and was recently named by the President of Coldwell Bankers parent company, NRT, as one of the Top 1% Brokers in the country!

I dont normally go into too much detail about my business but in the face of the recent negative articles about the local market I have taken on three new listings recently.  They are all very attractive properties that will generate some nice interest.

First, a 3 Bedroom Condo in the awe-inspiring John Hancock Center at 175 E. Delaware.  Bruce Graham made his mark on history by designing this unforgettable building, and the person who becomes the lucky new owner of this 70th Floor unit will love seeing what it is like to live in the Sky.

Second, a 2 Bedroom in the classic Park Newberry.  Anyone with a nose for History will love this unit, directly across from famous Bughouse Square and the world-renowned Newberry Library, home to a unique collection of World Maps going back hundreds of years.  A beautiful layout and spectacular South views from the oversize balcony.

Third, an exquisite 3 Bedroom Condo along desirable Astor Street in the Park Astor tower at 1515 Astor, very close to the best of Lincoln Park and the Lakefront Bikepath, overlooking the peaceful repose of the Cardinals Mansion!

Socially, I have attended two Galas recently that merit some attention.  First was the Chicago Consular Ball at the Chicago Hilton, hosted by Chicago Sister Cities International, where the Heads-of-Mission for 81 different countries came together in harmony and style.  What a great tribute to our City to have one of the largest diplomatic communities outside of Washington D. C. itself!  The amazing Ann Lurie was presented with the 2011 Global Citizen Award, a significant and well-deserved honor.
