Hello Blaze,I’m not in the Chicago market but just some advice when searching for a closing attorney: # 1 FIND A REAL ESTATE ATTORNEY!

I am sure someone else will touch on the subject.The search bar at the top will become your favorite tool on the website, wish you the best and keep pushing toward your goals.

I have a question about the search function.

Seems to be a lot of “1st bank of....”in a google search.

Good luck on your search! 

To be specific, I'm searching for statistics on the aggregated value and/or volume of the transactions in either. 

Must there most likely be something that I don't know about the house that those guys do or is it possible they didn't do their homework or just did an MLS search of neighborhood without realizing this house was on a special street in the neighborhood? 

some times you can type a question in the search box and vwala. however, I recall just reading this maybe a week ago.   

A quick google search should bring up the state’s website with all the details.
