For my Chicago buyer clients who love to head out on their own and view Sunday open houses, I create a custom open house itinerary for them each week. Criteria for one set of clients includes…
- Neighborhoods of Lincoln Park, Lake View, east of Ashland.
- Minimum of 2 Bedrooms, 2 bathrooms.
- Condo or townhouse.
- Walking distance to the ‘L’ but not on the ‘L’.
- New construction or recent rehab.
- Price range from $440,000 to $550,000.
- No mid-rises or high-rises.
- Parking for 1 car, garage preferred but outside space OK.
- Outdoor deck space for grilling.
- NO, repeat, NO garden units.
Joel Burslem of Future of Real Estate Marketing points me to a new website, OpenHouse.com, launched by Realogy. A valiant attempt, but lacking in usability. Check it out and try to incorporate my client’s requirements above.
