I thought I would share...let the world know about ... a few of the blogs I visit regularly for new real estate information and info on cool places that are on the market right now.

So here is a list of my top Favorite Blogs:

1. Crib Chatter

    This site features tons of available units throughout Chicago. The woman that runs this blog
    is not a real estate agent, so her opinion is neutral and, dare I say, unbiased. She comes
    across some great info and units, so I highly recommend this blog.

2. Yo Chicago

    This is another great site that comes across great units and info. I highly recommend it.

3. The Chicago Real Estate Local

    This is a great resource for neighborhood information on north side neighborhoods. My
    colleague, Eric Rojas, runs this blog, and he is a wonderful source of all sorts of
    information.

4. The Real Estate Bloggers

    This blog is run by various real estate bloggers. Some of your most esteemed real estate
    professionals and bloggers contribute to this site. It has all sorts of information. Visit it.

It seems the biggest worry in home buyers minds today is how will I be able to qualify for my home loan, and how do I avoid finding myself in a similar situation as the buyers who are losing their homes today.

A long time ago, a very good friend of mine, represented me in my first home purchase, and he gave me excellent advice, which was to learn everything I could about the process and loan programs/products. The more educated you are, the better loan product you will choose.

Chi-Girl Realty ... that's me!

I am a genuine native Chicagoan, who comes by my extensive insight of its neighborhoods and surrounding suburbs the good old-fashioned way, I've lived in most of them.  Having experienced the rich array of cultures and characters that the city has to offer from Bucktown to Bronzeville, from the lakefront to Lakeview and from Wicker Park to Woodridge, I am uniquely positioned to offer a view of Chicago that you're not likely to find anywhere else.  You can't help but appreciate my love for and comprehensive knowledge of "The Windy City".

Whether you are a buyer, seller, investor or "just looking", I have a vast network of resources available to help you meet your real estate goals.  Specializing in first-time buyers, women buyers and investment/rehab buyers, my aim is to educate my clients as I take you step-by-step through the basics of the process from start to finish.  My attention to detail and commitment to service ensures that I can and will meet any need that arises whatever the challenge.

Whatever your real estate dreams, I have the tools, experience and knowledge to make them a reality.  Let me show you "my" Chicago.

As I was searching the web for an indoor rock climbing wall thing I discovered a few years ago but have absolutely no recollection of, I discovered this way cool looking event coming up this weekend at the Hyde Park Art Center.

This sounds like as much fun as the outdoor house music party in the park on Michigan Avenue a couple of years ago.

I think you just might find me there...

The Randomness of Chicago

Today, I had a meeting downtown, which is a completely different story. This story is a commentary on the randomness of Chicago...a sort of pictorial...

I took the Blue Line downtown and walked over to my meeting. One of the greatest parts of Chicago is its transit system...the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA). This system can get you anywhere you want to go. If you're headed downtown, hop on the train. Leave your car at home. Avoid parking woes. Read a book, listen to your Ipod, look at Chicago's historical architecture. There are so many things to do.

So here goes the pictorial...


The Train Ride
This is a cool idea...a Walk and Roll-a-thon. It sounds like a really fun event.


Jovan...the Afternoon Show On the way home, I was entertained by Jovan's afternoon musical show. Jovan is quite the entertainer, with amazing vocal abilities. He is certainly a must for anyone visiting Chicago.

Jackson Station
Apparently, the CTA did a complete overhaul of the train station at Dearborn and Jackson. It has been completely remodeled. It has all sorts of features, like a TV giving updates and news reports.

The randomness of it all is why the CTA selected this station for a rehab. I am sure there is a rhyme to this reason, but it sure is random, and not a little bit non-sensical.



Dearborn & Jackson Street Station
It was a beautiful and enjoyable experience, while I waited for the train. I highly recommend it.












Puppet Show


While I was downtown, I enjoyed a puppet show...that apparently performs all day long, or at least during the time that I was at my appointment.

So that was my random Chicago day.
