The Tech Boom – What it Means for You!

Is Chicago the next Silicon Valley? It may be a little too early to call. But the recent tech boom has been hard to miss. Google. Groupon. Yelp. Uber.  LinkedIn. Everyone’s been moving into the city to claim their piece of the pie. But what does that mean for Chicago real estate? In a nutshell – act now.

For Sellers

Today is your lucky day. The best part of selling to companies (and employees) with stupid amounts of money is being able to charge stupid amounts for your property. There are bound to be some employees relocated to the Chicago area. These are the big dogs – the ones valuable enough to move. They will likely be willing to drop some major cheese on the right property. Along with the relocations, a number of Chicago’s finest nerds will be moving into new apartments (and out of their mothers’ basements). They’ll likely be moving closer to work or as a result of the Scrooge McDuck levels of money now sitting pretty in their bank accounts. Whatever the reason, it’s your cue to to position your property to sell.
