Yep this old rag is finally getting its due…here’s the post, The Best Chicago Real Estate Blogs (of course it would be nice if the blog’s title were labeled correctly). Relocation.com looks like a pretty wide-ranging and diverse real estae site. Here’s our blurb:

Closing Chicago Real Estate is more about the financial side of the equation, but the lawyer-author does a really nice job of focusing on issues that a first-time buyer might face. Here’s an example:

“I represented a buyer earlier this week at a closing and we used this to sock away $5k just in case there’s a special assessment in the next six months. In my particular situation a review of condo board minutes over the last year suggested a couple big projects may be happening soon so I just wanted to protect my client. But in a soft real estate market, why not use this as the default position on the Buyer’s side. Protect your client for another year.”

This is good stuff to know if YOUR real estate agent isn’t thinking about stuff like this. Bonus points for not using legalese like ‘pursuant.’

Is pursuant legalese??
