Henry,

Fantastic insight, thanks! What are your feelings on West Humboldt Park, how far past Homan say? I seem to recall a prior post where you mentioned Grand as your southern border, so what's your western border?

Wow that is some golden advice thanks! I am going to start doing the legwork on those agencies you mentioned, thanks Henry!

Hi,

Once someone passes the Illinois RE exams, what are some options - in addition to joining a brokerage, which seems to be mandatory - if they want to just buy and sell for themselves? thanks

If a seller has the option to give (limited) power of attorney and not be physically present at the closing, are there any potential drawbacks to this? All the documents requiring signatures and notarization will be pre-signed. Thanks!

Hahaha, yes my cup runneth over! 

Hi,'

Looks like the Meter Saver program is kaput. There is some new thing called Lead-Safe, hopefully that is actually true to it's purpose of offering lead line replacement. The city never did get back to me about replacing my lead pipes. Instead, besides the meters, they sent me two water filters. Wowsers. 

Hello,

I'm renting out a unit and will be requiring renter's insurance. Does anyone have any recommendations that I can make to potential tenants?

 I asked my realtor and she said she checked and the info she input was good. Strange. 

 I wasn't able to edit my listing, I received an error message when I tried to register as the owner. It is listed for sale, I am not renting out the units. My realtor said she hasn't been able to update it either. Strange that I cannot register as the owner, I think

Hi,

I am interested in updating the listing for my building on Zillow, but have not had much luck reaching out to them. They shorted me by 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. Also, how long does it take to get an Open House listed on the major portals? I am aiming to have one this weekend, but worry that if it gets listed today that will be today.
