Lakefront Living in Chicago

This was a foreclosed property that one of my business partners purchased and converted to four fabulous units in the Logan Square area at 3311 & 3313 W. Belden.

Excellent space for less than $300k!

As a part of the 175th Anniversary of The Clarke House; there was a wonderful Minstrel! I just had to share.

Living along the Lakefront in Chicago is something I will always cherish.

Surrounded by beautiful highrises and Townhomes in the Historic Prairie District of the South Loop sits the oldest house in Chicago.
On October 1, 2011 I attended the 175th Anniversary Celebration of Chicago’s oldest building, the Clarke House. It was a beautiful, crisp fall day and just perfect for the outdoor events. There were people dressed in period clothing demonstrating crafts of old: weaving, banjo playing and butter making (delicious!) were just a few of the things to enjoy.
This area of the South Loop has Luxury Condo and Townhomes and is an excellent location for the person who does not want the congestion of Streeterville but still would like to be close to all the action.

I was so blessed to sit in front of a Great-grandmother and her 5 year old great-grandson on the train the other day.
The little boy was writing a word while she waited not looking. At first I didn’t know what they were doing and then figured out they were playing hang man. I haven’t played that game since Elementary School.
Anyway, they were having so much fun and I was shamelessly listening in and laughing right along with them. He wrote the word from his class book and she would taking guesses starting with the vowels… “is there an A? … he would say no…an E?…no…an I?…no; well give me a hint! He would sound out the beginning Grrr or Brrr and no hint would he give.
She finally figured out he didn’t know what hint meant! Anyway, she would give him all the vowels and he kept saying no. It was too funny, I’m smiling now just thinking about it.
I asked her if she was a teacher and she said just for her children. She took every interaction as an opportunity to teach him. “Every word has to have a vowel” she said several times when he kept saying no. A;E;I;O;U and sometimes Y.
When it was her turn she wrote the word; gave him a hint “it lives in the water” and he immediately guessed Jelly Fish. Which was the right word and that was so funny to him! I laughed and the young man sitting in front of me did too.
This wonderful woman is teaching her Great-grandson with humor and just pure fun. God Bless Her!

Here is the latest testimony from a client.

“I engaged real estate agent Linda Lamb in mid-March to find a home for me and my family.   After our first conversation, Linda began the task of sending me homes to view online.   Within 2 weeks I found the home of my dreams, got financing, inspections and am now just awaiting the final closing.
Linda’s experience and knowledge was  truly apparent in how swiftly I was able to move through this entire process.   I will recommend her to anyone I know that needs a professional and experienced real estate agent.” P. Cole

I would be happy to assist you in finding the “home of your dreams”.
