Buying a home can be complicated. Finding a real estate agent, the right neighborhood, looking at properties, putting forth an offer, and running through the closing process are just a few of many steps in the process. Despite the lengthy process, yet another stress becomes the added inclusion of earnest money.
So, you’ve decided to sell your home in Illinois. Perhaps, your family has outgrown the starter property. Maybe, you’ve come into a windfall of extra money. Regardless of the reason, it’s time to spring into action!
As a first step, you’ll want to have your home listed on the MLS. From a marketing perspective, one of the key benefits of working with a Realtor is having your home listed here. However, you can still achieve this by paying a flat fee to a local brokerage.
Through the years, real estate has become heavily intertwined with the American Dream. It starts with purchasing one building, then another, then another. Before you know it, you have an empire.
But sometimes that aspirational Dream quickly fades into a nightmarish hellscape for tenants, state officials, and alas, even the property owners.

Throughout the world, the city of Chicago is known for its glorious skyline. After 1871’s Great Chicago Fire, the city needed a massive rebuilding. Some of the largest metropolitan cities, such as New York and St. Louis, dedicated a great amount of resources to the undertaking, and the initiative drove architects from all over to leave their mark on the Second City.
Since those glory days, real estate and Chicago have gone as well together as a Chicago-style hot dog and relish, something which still rings true over a century later in 2019. Now, the latest example of Chicago’s real estate development ambition stems from the locally-based Decennial Group.
Imagine buying the condominium unit of your dreams.
The flooring is finished. The kitchen has new Whirlpool appliances built in. You can’t even hear your neighbors through the walls. Everything is perfect.
Until it isn’t.
A couple weeks in, you notice water seeping into the unit. But it’s not just a tiny amount.
Naturally, you report the case to the condo association and they call up the manufacturer. But the manufacturer insists that they did everything by the book. And now, we have a legal dispute on our hands.
