The Agents’ Choice Awards issue is one of the most beloved issues of all in my book. Awards, glam, fashion and applause; just a few of my favorite things.

I spent a good 10 minutes searching for inspiring quotes to share with my faithful readers, but in the end I decided to just come right out and say how I feel. You know who taught me how to do that? My mentor!

Summer is winding down and, according to my Facebook feed, it’s time to shuffle your offspring back to school. That means it’s time for the real estate industry to get our party on!

I’ve been in the real estate industry since before Catherine O’Leary’s cow set the whole city ablaze, so I’ve basically tried everything.

The best thing about first-time buyers is that they will always be around. Another cool thing is that they come in all shapes, ages and sizes. There are certainly different “types” of first-timers…

Here’s the issue where we talk about gadgets and gizmos a’plenty, and who’s its and what’s it (galore). But there’s still plenty of gossip to go around!

It should come as no surprise that luxury is one of my favorite topics. I like to be pampered! I want it all! So let’s dig into this luxury issue.

Ahh, the annual Truth About Agents issue. It’s what you came here for: an incisive, behind-the-scenes breakdown of your fellow real estate professionals. But isn’t that what I do?

Lend me your ears, and I’ll sing you a tune. Lend me some money, and I’ll buy a house. That’s how the old saying goes, right?

I say this every month, but this time I actually mean it: This is my favorite issue! We get to celebrate all those hardworking agents out there pounding the pavement and doing their thing to rise to the tippy, tippy top of the industry.

Happy New Year! I hope you also had a happy Hanukkah/Christmas/Kwanzaa/Festivus/whatever it is you do or do not celebrate.

Lucky for you we’ve got some predictions in the cover story to tide you over until the future becomes the present and the present becomes the past.

Spooky season has come to an end, but we have something new to celebrate: the winners of the 2022 Chicago Agents’ Choice Awards. It should all give you all plenty to gossip about…

It’s October, so things are getting spooky around here! And you know what is the scariest thing of all? Owning your own brokerage.

Winter is coming. Luckily, it’s not quite that close and we have fall to get through first with fancy colorful leaves, college football and such.

The sun is out and it’s hot as all get out in Chicagoland these days, which means it’s time to gather and party!
