BG huh? I went to Stevenson, but only crossed over to the cook county side to go to Taco Bell.

I comped your property (Clyborne to Lasalle, North to Division). From there you have to follow the units that sold or are available on the tracks. 

1543 N Hudson Unit 2 is ACTV @ $452k

1546 N Orleans Unit 504 CLSD @ $494,700

1446 N North Park Unit 4R is ACTV @ $499k

As you can see, none of them have broke the $500k mark so I'd definitely keep an eye on that.

With that being said, you're still early in you're listing so I wouldn't panic just yet. I think you have a better product than your competition next door @ 1529 N Cleveland #3S and the CLSD unit @ 1527 N Cleveland Unit 2N for $555k makes me optimistic that you're not too far off from a contract. Give it a dozen showings and drop it $10k...If your sellers prefer to get out of it quicker then drop it to $499k.

Good luck!

This site is a good resource. What do you want to know?

just sent you a pm with a referral.

@Linda Tsacalides Hey neighbor! I live in Albany Park, I'd be happy to walk through the property with fresh eyes. I can also give you some referrals to leasing agents that may be able to help. A rental listing may not be a priority to a buyer agent as they're used to bigger commissions. Good luck!

Welcome! I lived in BG for a few years and went to Stevenson HS. You'll find a lot of great information on this site! 

Hi Benoit, I like Round Lake for cashflow investments. You can pick up sfh's pretty cheap. Don't expect a dollar of appreciation though. Grayslake has some good pockets for cashflow as well. Zion, N Chicago and Waukegan can offer solid cashflow investments, but those areas are a little rougher so I'd be very cautious if you're a first time investor. Feel free to pm me if you have any questions. 

@Chris Pauli No, one shouldn't have anything to do with the other. The agent selling your home is incentivized by commission and is obligated to give you proper representation by law. While I don't know John Warren personally, he comes highly recommended by a lot of people that I respect. You'll be in good hands. Good luck in your search!

As long as you're transparent with them it shouldn't be a problem. Personally, I'd get rid of the non performer and give someone else a shot if you're not happy. Plugging info in the mls to auto send screams bare minimum laziness to me.
