Multiple offers! Great house sells on West Cornelia in Blaine school district

Our clients were recently involved in a multiple offer for 1226 W Cornelia, a single family home asking $850,000 (pictured below... we didn't get it).  The entire real estate community came out immediately with offers in hand for this very attractive and well located Lakeview/ Southport Corridor house in Blaine school district.

 The 1200 block of West Cornelia is one of the small "cut-outs" south of West Addison Street that is included in the Blaine Elementary School attendance boundaries (a top ranked and desired school). The home itself was tastefully renovated bout 20 years ago with simple, clean lined contemporary style and still looks great today.  The asking price was low for this particular market location and was meant to generate the best offers immediately.  

Great block!

My information concerning the deal suggested a cash offer over well over list price won the house.  It will land $900,000 or more easily is my guess. As mentioned, our clients did not get it...but we did everything we could to put them in the game.   

We wrote the offer in the car in front of the house and I walked the offer up the steps!  The listing agent was gracious and handled the crush of interest with professionalism and class...not always the case.  Clients should know how their listing or buyer's agent will handle a hot potato situation.

The Five Stages of Buying in Chicago

Although not as dire as the Five Stages of Dying (or Grief), Buying in Chicago for many of my cients does take a trained professional to work through these physical and emotional stages:

The Doctor is IN

Denial: "I can't believe my lease will be up", "A two bed, two bath in Lincoln Park can't cost that much... can it?", "What do have for a single family in Bucktown for $500K...there has to be something?", "Can we come in $75K under?", "Multiple offer?".

Anger: "I'm not paying that!", "What are they crazy?", "Tell them we're walking over the GFCI outlets!", They paid what in a multiple offer!?", "If they want to sell it, this is what they get!". "Can't my Realtor find anything with a private roof-top for under $350K!?"

Bargaining: "Maybe they can leave the plasma and surround...", If they need us to close later, than we'll need a $3,000K credit to get out of the lease", "Well, the one on the first floor just sold, so maybe this is a good price", "Do you think the seller's will talk again after we walked over the GFCI outlets?", "Let them know we are interested if the contract falls through..."

Depression: "We should have bought that place.", "There's suppossed to be all this inventory, so why can't we find anything?", "There's nothing coming on the market".

Acceptance: "It looks like we'll have to bump up our price-point to get what we want", If I drop the second bath, I can get the location I really love", "So what you're telling me is the building sold-out for list price?", "I love the penthouse units, but they just won't work with a kid on the way... let's get that duplex-down in Bucktown we liked".


With moral support and the correct treatment, you'll be a home owner too.
