My clients’ dream home wasn’t for sale.
With some extra effort, now they’re moving in!

by Laura England

My clients, Brian and Lauren, were renting in a South Loop building they loved and decided they were ready to become first-time homebuyers. We looked at several homes, but they kept returning to their existing building because of the locations, views, and amenities. We looked at every unit for sale in the building, but they really wanted a high floor with lake and skyline views, so I combed through off-market listings and posted on agent forums. When nothing came up, I wrote personalized letters to all of the existing unit owners that lived in the preferred corner of the building that boasted the desirable skyline and lake views. To our excitement, I received a response to one of my letters and after several weeks of discussion and negotiation, contracts were signed.   

Finding exactly what my clients want has been incredibly rewarding, and Brian and Lauren are both so overjoyed with their new home!
