Enjoying a classic Chicago evening at Wrigley Field! It’s great to see the energy in the stadium; I’m always proud to be a part of this vibrant North Side community.

One of the best perks of being a Chicagoan is having two incredible baseball teams: the Chicago Cubs and the Chicago White Sox. This stadium is truly an icon. The major renovations completed between 2014 and 2019 made the ballpark so much more “homey” and attractive—as a Realtor, I can certainly appreciate a well-executed renovation! I remember the “before,” and the updates were very much needed to preserve this piece of history.

The Hubby and I love coming to the park to cheer the Cubs on. The fans are so dedicated! We recently attended the game against the Cincinnati Reds, and what a nail-biter it was. The Cubs were leading 4-2 until the top of the 9th, when the Reds scored 4 runs. The Cubs fought back to tie it 6-6, and in the 10th inning, a walk with the bases loaded secured the victory.

Woo-Hoo, Cubs Win: 7-6!

Attended a Night Game at Wrigley Where the Cubs Hosted the Cincinnati Reds.

Thinking about selling your home? First impressions—and smart prep—can make all the difference. From pricing it right out of the gate to creating a space buyers can instantly picture themselves in, a few strategic moves can seriously boost interest and offers. Below are proven tips to help your home stand out, attract more buyers, and sell faster (and for more). 🏡✨

1. Set a reasonable asking price: Your Home will see the most activity during the first few days it is on the Market. Setting the right price will get Buyers through the door.

2. Take curb appeal seriously: You want your Home to create a good first impression. If it looks uninspired or unkempt on the outside, Buyers won’t want to see the inside.

3. Make improvements where you can: Relatively minor changes like fresh paint, new kitchen hardware and a bit of yard work can make a BIG impact!

4. De-clutter and depersonalize: Your Home will seem larger with fewer items, pictures and knickknacks. Removing extra furniture is also recommended, especially if you want to show off hardwood floors.

5. Stage your Home: Most Buyers like to see how the rooms are supposed to be used.

6. Remove all evidence of Pets: This includes their toys, beds and food dishes. You will also want to make sure your Home smells fresh and clean.

7. Be flexible with showing appointments: Allow time for Buyers to tour your Home. Keep you Home staged and clean at all times for last minute appointments.
