I am Philippa & Jay's real estate agent & need to comment at first on how great the two of them were to work with. It's always a pleasure sharing my knowledge of the city with people who you know are receptive & will actually use it!

I am happy to announce that they chose the Lincoln Park condo & are very excited to move in & make the space their own.

They narrowed it down to two excellent options & after visiting them each a couple times, decided that though the UV condo was georgous, the benefits of the LP location outwieghed that of UV.

I like to see "newbies" to the city choose their new home based more heavily on location. Life is too short & uncertain to live in a great city & not experience it to the fullest. I see it like going to a resort across the world: the weather & the beach are great, but you could be anywhere! You're really cheating yourself out of life experience if you don't get out & enjoy the culture (:

It's always hard moving to a new city & having to choose the best location for you. Many times it just comes down to what just feels best. I absolutely love hearing from clients once they've gotten settled, raving about their new home...& neighborhood.

I give anyone kudos for moving to Chicago in the midst of winter, never having experienced the summer here. I know for me, it's the memories of street festivals, outdoor dining & long walks to the dog park that keep me still loving the city in March.

So, I'll stop rambling & say CHEERS to Jay & Philippa! I'm sure I can speak for everyone on this post & say "congratulations & we wish you all the best in your new home".
