Baby Steps and First-Time Buyers of Chicago Real Estate
My younger son Lucas is taking his first steps toward becoming bi-pedal.
And though I don’t remember my own progress toward becoming ambulatory a few decades back, I imagine my tentativeness then rivaled his now.
Urging him forward one step at a time I can’t help but imagine the primal terror he might feel as he stands, [...]
Peeking at Spring in Chicago with Tom McCarey (and Trusted Resources)
As I selected the outfits my sons would don today I mused back to the tail-end of my childhood when “Garanimals” were introduced.
Garanimals, for those not in the know, was and is a children’s clothing line providing tops and bottoms each emblazoned with animal tags designed to make matching little one’s outfits a bit easier. [...]
By All Means a Bio - This is a Snap Shot of Being Tom McCarey
The first week has come and gone and I am glad to be a part of the @properties’ brokerage. Something about making a move that gets my blood moving and makes me feel a little bit more alive. It also grants me a wonderful chance to take a little of this and ditch a little [...]
Meeting Moses at an East Village Coffee Shop (When He Gets an Emailed Offer)

How Long Has this Been on the Market?
Half a dozen of one, six of the other.
That might be the subtitle for the merging together of half of a box of a dozen frozen fish sticks found by an Ohio woman last week.
But instead of tossing the x-shaped trio on the frying pan, Victoria Landis tossed them on ebay where their Easter week appearance [...]
Hope Defines Me - Meeting Barack on a Sunday Afternoon
Lucas turned one last week. And the change is colossal.
He always was a bright child - but now I will wake in the morning to find him transliterating speeches of the aspiring presidential candidates into both Latin and Greek. Nonplussed by criticism of some naysayers that these so-called “dead” languages are pointless, Lucas laughs and utters [...]
The Rumored Demise - Another Home Sells in Chicago
The Chicago real estate market today? I can’t help but think of Mark Twain’s quote, “Rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated.”
Yesterday my clients finalized negotiations of an offer for their home in West Town. Listed in the upper six figures, this residence attracted the prospective buyers back for three showings before they made [...]
The Tossing of Nader’s Hat - Things Relevant & Irrelevant in Chicago
Ralph Nader Sunday left the wintry hole that I think he shares with Puxatawny Phil somewhere in the Pennsylvanian hinterland. Upon emerging he saw his shadow and evidently that proved to be the deciding factor as he declared his intention to throw his hat into the presidential ring. All 157 of his supporters across the [...]
