You Have To Start Somewhere

I started the day with the best of intentions. It is Tuesday. Tuesday is broker's open house day. I really enjoy getting out there and looking at the newest listings in my neighborhood. That would be the Gold Coast, River North and Streeterville area. I pulled up the offerings and found 10 that I was excited about. In this market, 10 is easy! I decided to skip the new construction this week. I've seen most of it already. So, it was going to be resale day. I was most excited about two listings at 1550 N State Parkway, a building I think is really special. These are pretty high end, luxury condos. Both priced over the $2Mil mark. Phew! Pretty pricey, but what a building, what a location! I was really looking forward to seeing them. I also chose a couple of other listings on North State Parkway and Astor that were of various sizes and prices. I scouted out my route and made my schedule. Then, best intentions in hand, my phone rang.
You know that sound in someone's voice when they tell you they need you and they mean it? Well, my mommy ears were tuned up when I heard my daughter say, "Mom, I need you to come over. I am so sick". So, there went the open house tour. I'm off to nurse my poor kid who has caught the stomach flu. You have to start somewhere...but not today!
