Chicago real estate
All the news that’s fit to print…
This year’s election has brought out understated and overstated support for Barack Obama. Whether it’s the economy, Iraq, international relations, healthcare - it is interesting to note how folks who used to keep their views very private are taking the stage on behalf of Obama.
Half Full? Empty? It’s All a Matter of Perspective
The rain stopped as the train arrived and we toured the streets of Edgewater aboard the Chicago Kiddie Express train for Jackson’s third birthday. I do a great job as a father. Just like I do a great job as a Chicago real estate professional. Likely because I temper my enthusiasm for what I do with a propensity toward being realistic.
I just registered this thought… about registering to vote
Me? I see this presidential election as one of the seminal events in American history. Where I stand? Oh, I will vote. And I hope you will join me. But to do so, you’ve got to register. On the fence? Click this video. I hope it spurs you to action. And I hope it spurs you to bring about a positive change.
Sunday Rains Supreme as the Rain Rains Down
So it’s raining today. Waking amid the soft sounds of splashing drops I wonder what day of the week it is. Sunday? Another busy day with showings and open houses. My clients know they can count on me to show up, whether with umbrella and rain coat or whatever the situation warrants. But I also show up to embrace the possibility that the day holds.
September 13th - Family Matters
Behind every successful man is a reason. For me it’s my family and my love for them. Tomorrow marks our fifth anniversary and I have pieced together a few montages for my lovely wife, Nicole. And tomorrow? Back to the fray with numerous showings and several pending deals.

Meanwhile a busy Chicago real estate market has Tom McCarey reaching for his beloved Coca Cola as his beverage of choice. Thus he remains sharp for his buying and selling clients.

We Made the Offer - He Made Up His Mind - Trying to Buy a Chicago Condo
My clients asked me what to expect as we submitted our offer to buy a Chicago condo. But there’s no way I figured a seller would act like a petulant child and simply cancel his listing. I guess he wasn’t serious about selling his condo for what current market conditions indicate it is now worth. Oh well, my clients and I have other pieces of the Chicago real estate pie to consider.
Candy in the morning does not a breakfast make…
“Candy,” was the first word Jackson uttered this morning, remembering the gift bag from last night. And thus Chicago real estate expert Tom McCarey compares his two-year-old’s selective memory to aspects of the Chicago real estate market - from the seller to the buyer to the financial side of things. The best thing to do is oversee “selective memory” that is too shortsighted.
The Price Must Be Right for the Chicago Home to Sell
My two-year-old son Jackson offered a nugget of wisdom Sunday morning - right priced properties is the right way to go in the current Chicago real estate market. At least that’s what I, a Chicago real estate expert, heard. Glad to say that my listings bear this truth in mind.
