Local Chicago news resources we read

From time-to-time I like to point out hyper-local news sources that help me keep up with the North Side neighborhoods we work in.  Here are a few in no particular order:

www.YoChicago.com

Yo Chicago offers unique and intelligent insight on the business of real estate.   Their news feed can't be beat. The site also offers arguably the best collection of property and neighborhood video PLUS "helicopter flyover" photos available for view in Chicago!

Lincoln Square Patch

The "Patch family", including Lincoln Park and Roscoe Village/ North Center, has good local news on business openings, closings, services, entertainment, city construction and some real estate picks.

DNAinfo.com Chicago

Good, professional coverage of both hyper-local and bigger downtown stories.

Curbed Chicago

Good scoops and aggregated news on major new construction proposals, interesting properties, and some fun mixed in too.


 

David Curry on Lake Geneva Real Estate Dish

Most Realtors who try blogging are brutally bad. And they give up quickly. I really want good real estate bloggers to exist because they provide front line information for me as well as other consumers.

I read a few local Realtor and broker blogs; like Fran Bailey's and Geno Petro's. However, getting out of my 15 square mile box, I came across David Curry's Lake Geneva Real Estate blog. Consistent, funny and to the point.

I've always considered Lake Geneva a terrific option for short get-a-ways; but now I feel like I have owned a vacation home there. When this $2,000,000 starts burning a hole in my pocket, I'll call David.

Chicago's Number 4 Realtor in Chicagoland

The Chicago Real Estate Local is #4 in search for Chicagoland Realtors! At least according to Google.

Thanks Chicago!

Seller's... ask me how search results like this get exposure for your listing.
