CELEBRATING EXCELLENCE<br />

CONGRATULATIONS, 2021 TOP PRODUCERS!<br />

The 2021 Sales Awards recognize the hard work, superior market knowledge, mastery<br />

of technology and industry cooperation that has helped build successful businesses. We<br />

honor the achievements of our Top Producers, in addition to the collective efforts of all<br />

Chicago REALTORS ® to bring the highest level of professionalism, ethics, commitment<br />

and service to buyers and sellers in Chicagoland.<br />

Data was pulled and compiled from MRED on January 8, 2022 for the 2021 year. Brokers<br />

and offices which changed since then may not necessarily reflect their current office or<br />

a new office name. Residential transactions are solely based on data from Midwest Real<br />

Estate Data (MRED). Teams have been recognized from the brokers’ own declaration in<br />

MRED as a “team” and by using the Team ID when entering information.<br />

We wish you continued success in 2022 as you continue to do excellent work on behalf<br />

of your clients and our industry.<br />

PRESIDENT’S PERSPECTIVE<br />

As you may know, my first love and passion is music.<br />

I’ve always particularly loved writing songs about<br />

people and experiences because they tell stories.<br />

As a performer, my goal was to connect with the<br />

audience. These experiences have translated well into real estate by forging<br />

relationships with clients, the REALTORS ® at my brokerage, A.R.E. Partners,<br />

and my peers in the industry.<br />

Real estate, perhaps more than any other career, brings together professionals<br />

from many different backgrounds. It’s when we embrace these differences in<br />

backgrounds, perspectives and skills that our industry thrives.<br />

I challenge you to do some thinking: where are you in your career journey?<br />

What are the skills that make you a unique asset for your clients? For your<br />

brokerage? For our association?<br />

Check out all options to get involved at<br />

ChicagoREALTOR.com/GetInvolved<br />

We need your skills to shape our industry, and one of the best ways to<br />

do that is to get involved. After all, our association is only as strong as our<br />

members are engaged. There are levels to this – you don’t have to dive right<br />

into the deep end right away! Start by attending a CAR event to network with<br />

professionals from across the city and expand your sphere of influence. Once<br />

you’re ready to expand your involvement, I encourage you to apply for one of<br />

CAR’s committees or work groups. You’ll get to collaborate with fellow Chicago<br />

REALTORS ® on projects that shape your membership experience and impact<br />

so much of our business. My very first work group dealt with commercial forms<br />

and contracts, and my very first committee was the Professional Development<br />

Advisory Group, which I went on to chair for two years. These helped shape<br />

my development as a servant leader in our industry.<br />

Want to take your leadership skills to the next level? Our Board of Directors and<br />

Foundation Board of Trustees are looking for passionate Chicago REALTORS ®<br />

who are looking to get involved at the highest levels.<br />

You can check out all our opportunities at ChicagoREALTOR.com/GetInvolved.<br />

Find a committee or area you’re passionate about and put your name in for<br />

consideration. Not only will you gain so much, but our association – and all<br />

Chicago REALTORS ® – will benefit, as well.<br />

As always, if you need anything, I’m happy to talk and connect with you.<br />

FROM THE CEO<br />

"<br />

Iremember them when...” We use this phrase to reflect<br />

on different people’s journeys to greatness.<br />

Right now, there are a lot of dreamers in our industry.<br />

According to National Association of REALTORS ® Chief Economist Dr.<br />

Lawrence Yun, in 2021 there were 1.55 million REALTORS ® , a record<br />

high. Here in Chicago, we’re also seeing a steady increase in both new<br />

members and pre-licensing students.<br />

Most people enter our industry with a dream, maybe one where they work<br />

as their own boss as an entrepreneur, or where they make homeownership<br />

a reality for more people, or simply, where they help people every day.<br />

For those of us already in the industry, we have a unique opportunity to<br />

show them what’s possible through hard work and dedication.<br />

Within the pages of this <strong>CR</strong> Magazine, there are a number of you who<br />

have achieved Top Producer status in 2021. Congratulations on your<br />

accomplishment! Your mentors, colleagues and friends will see you in these<br />

pages, remember when you dreamed of this moment and say, “I remember<br />

them when…” They now know you for achieving something great.<br />

At the association, we have another exciting set of dreamers this year:<br />

our first-ever Leadership Accelerator class. This brand-new program<br />

will help these REALTORS ® prepare for the next step of their leadership<br />

journey, both in their careers and in the association. They have dedicated<br />

themselves to a year of hard work, and I can’t wait to see how far they’ll go.<br />

I’m sure you’ll see many of them soon and think, “I remember them when…”<br />

Don’t stop dreaming. Even if you’ve reached your dreams, there’s always<br />

farther to go and more ways to grow. And if you haven’t reached your<br />

dreams yet, now is your time to shine! We’re here to help you with tools<br />

and resources along the way.<br />

Chicago REALTORS ® sold $ 45,266,942,349 in total volume and facilitated<br />

106,785 transaction sides in 2021. Congratulations! I love being part of<br />

such an amazing industry. Your hustle and drive this past year deserve<br />

recognition and celebration.<br />

How wonderful does it feel to be able to gather together in person once<br />

again? It’s hard to believe we haven’t been together for our Sales Awards in<br />

three years! I hope you take time to appreciate this and all of the ways we<br />

can inspire one another.<br />

“In countries descending into authoritarianism, one of the first things<br />

to go is the right to assemble. Why? Because of what can happen when<br />

people come together, exchange information, inspire one another, test<br />

out new ways of being together.” -The Art of Gathering<br />

Think Again<br />

Adam Grant<br />

The Art of Gathering by Priya Parker, one of my favorite reads this year,<br />

really helped me understand the importance of gathering, whether it be<br />

at a meeting, an event or even a dinner with family and friends; it also got<br />

me thinking about all of the ways we can improve as we come together.<br />

As an association, we are proud to offer many ways for you to gather,<br />

including committee meetings, dinners, events (like this one!) and<br />

volunteer opportunities throughout the year. I encourage you to make<br />

the most of these avenues through which we can continue to inspire<br />

one another and exchange information. Take the risk to meet someone<br />

new, ask questions and build relationships. Real estate is a cooperative<br />

business, so knowing the person on the other side of the deal can only<br />

help make the process smoother.<br />

For those of you making room on your shelves for your future CARly, we<br />

compiled advice from Top Producers on page 40. Get inspired by these<br />

actionable, motivational tips to take your business to the next level. We’ve<br />

also included some Top Producer book recommendations. On the left, I’ve<br />

shared my favorite books from last year, too. We’re always looking for<br />

new reads – reach out to us with other recommendations.<br />

And, don’t miss actionable tips you can take to set your clients up for<br />

success. On page 35, author Donna J. Rogers shares six implementable<br />

ways you can empower your clients to invest in real estate to build<br />

generational wealth. Her action plan is admirable. Plus, I love that she<br />

offered to write this piece, taking time to share and inspire all of us. I hope<br />

you enjoy reading it as much as I did.<br />

As always, I’d love to hear from you!<br />

Knock,<br />

knock…<br />

knock, knock… knock, knock!<br />

It can be annoying to wait for<br />

someone to give you access. It’s in<br />

those moments that I learned to<br />

value having my own keys, so I no<br />

longer had to wait for the door<br />

to be opened for me.<br />

I was empowered<br />

to let myself in.<br />

This key could be the actual<br />

metal object you use to unlock<br />

a door, or it could be valuable<br />

information or a solution, but<br />

the purpose remains the<br />

same: keys give you access.<br />

As REALTORS ® , we have<br />

keys like information,<br />

resources and solutions that<br />

give others access to<br />

homeownership and real<br />

estate investing.<br />

According to a recent poll by the analytics firm Gallup, Americans<br />

rated real estate as the best long-term investment eight years<br />

in a row. Real estate is typically considered a stable and secure<br />

asset that can grow in value over time (according to<br />

www.keepingcurrentmatters.com). When done strategically,<br />

real estate investing offers limitless opportunities to build wealth<br />

and create a legacy that can be passed down generationally.<br />

Building generational wealth through homeownership is significant<br />

within the Black community, where nearly 60% of wealth comes<br />

from home equity, according to the Urban Institute’s 2020 Closing the<br />

Gaps: Building Black Wealth through Homeownership Report. Yet the<br />

rate of Black homeownership, which is in the fortieth percentile, and<br />

wealth is still the lowest compared to all other races in the United<br />

States. Discriminatory practices such as redlining have negatively<br />

impacted and lowered the rate of homeownership in Black and brown<br />

communities. Though redlining is now illegal, research from the<br />

National Association of Real Estate Brokers’ (NAREB) 2022 State of<br />

Housing in Black America Report shows that Black Americans still tend<br />

to pay higher fees and rates for mortgage loans and are more likely to<br />

be denied loans than other applicants. This systemic racism continues<br />

to economically oppress the Black community because it creates<br />

barriers to homeownership and generational wealth for current<br />

generations to pass down.<br />

Who has the keys? We do. As REALTORS ® , we have the keys to unlock<br />

a plan of action to prepare many generations to build wealth through<br />

real estate. To do so, we must be intentional about equipping all<br />

generations to become tomorrow’s homeowners and investors.<br />

Exposure to real estate, especially in youth, can help develop an<br />

ownership mindset early on. I’m a great example of this: watching my<br />

parents invest and manage several properties when I was younger<br />

and helping with the family business made the biggest impact in my<br />

real estate career, where I’m now an investor and brokerage owner.<br />

I envisioned myself as a property owner before I became one thanks<br />

to this exposure. Regardless of age, this shift in mentality can both<br />

empower and prepare an entire family to obtain and maintain wealth<br />

through real estate generationally.<br />

Here are six implementable keys to building and preserving<br />

generational wealth through real estate:<br />

1. Write out family real estate goals. Goals are important<br />

to help you create a roadmap to success. Goals should be<br />

SMART: specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and timely.<br />

For each goal, write a detailed plan of action to achieve it,<br />

including the resources needed and the timeframe to complete<br />

it. The entire family should be involved with the goal-setting<br />

process, to ensure everyone is on the same page. It is also<br />

important to create roles and responsibilities for everyone<br />

to help implement the goals and monitor progress. Be sure<br />

to always include financial goals, as this is a key part of the<br />

ability to acquire and manage property. Goals may change over<br />

time, which is okay, but it’s important to start somewhere<br />

2. Create and speak<br />

daily affirmations.<br />

Talk to your clients and<br />

encourage them to create<br />

real estate-related<br />

affirmations to declare<br />

daily. Our words have<br />

power to manifest our<br />

realities. No matter how<br />

we feel, it is important to<br />

not allow fear to stop us<br />

by speaking positive<br />

words over current and<br />

future circumstances. To<br />

be intentional, connect<br />

the affirmations to the<br />

family’s real estate goals.<br />

For example, if the goal is<br />

to build generational<br />

wealth through real estate,<br />

36 Chicago REALTOR ® Magazine


then we declare: “We are generational wealth builders<br />

through real estate.” Affirmations can help a family see<br />

beyond their current limitations and further develop an<br />

ownership mindset.<br />

3. Become a student of the industry. The more<br />

informed we are, the better decisions we can make to<br />

avoid financial hardships and setbacks. Awareness<br />

allows a person to better weigh their options and<br />

create the most effective investment strategy. We<br />

know the industry is always going to change, so it is<br />

important that we remain aware of real estate’s current<br />

trends and systems. Encourage your clients to have<br />

every generation within the family take financial<br />

literacy, business and real estate investing classes from<br />

industry experts.<br />

Financial literacy is especially important to obtain and maintain<br />

real estate. Yet, younger generations are not always taught<br />

financial literacy at school. Older generations should help<br />

them establish a habit of budgeting and saving early to avoid<br />

financial challenges in the future. Explaining the importance<br />

of and creating a budget for their allowance, work and gift<br />

money will increase the likelihood of them being financially-<br />

savvy throughout their lifetime. It’s equally important that the<br />

older generation sets an example by living by those same<br />

financial standards.<br />

The key is that everyone is learning together, so when real estate<br />

assets are ready to be transferred between generations, they are<br />

well-prepared to maintain the inheritances and expand it.<br />

4. Start a family real estate book club. In addition to<br />

taking classes, clients can start a family real estate book club.<br />

This is a great way to learn together but also increase<br />

communication and dialogue across generations on real<br />

estate-related topics. If you are a part of a real estate book<br />

club, invite your clients and their families to join you.<br />

Workbooks are also recommended.<br />

I suggest ones with hands-on<br />

activities and case studies of real-<br />

life scenarios to better equip and<br />

engage the entire family in their goal<br />

to build wealth through real estate.<br />

5. Invite the younger generation<br />

to shadow the homebuying<br />

or investing process. Encourage<br />

clients to bring children or young<br />

adults with them to witness and<br />

better understand the homebuying<br />

and investing process.<br />

future. I see many buyers leave their teens at home<br />

during the home inspection; however, the home inspection<br />

stage can be an opportunity to expose their child to a possible<br />

career field. In addition to learning about assessing the quality<br />

of a property, the young person may grow to love the job of a<br />

home inspector or contractor, which can be helpful to them<br />

later on as an investor.<br />

6. Offer real estate internship opportunities. As<br />

REALTORS ® , we can all use a hand with secretarial duties like<br />

organizing files and documents, answering calls and scheduling<br />

posts on social media pages. As rules and regulations permit,<br />

we can create internship opportunities for youth to expose<br />

them to the day-to-day activities of a real estate professional.<br />

My very first job as a teenager was working with my dad,<br />

a real estate investor and property manager. I assisted him in<br />

the management of his properties by painting and doing<br />

maintenance work, and it was a catalyst to my successful real<br />

estate career today. Moreover, this is an effective way to<br />

give the next generation more exposure to the real estate<br />

industry, including networking opportunities and basic job<br />

skills to prepare them to effectively run and manage their own<br />

A Promising Year<br />

Check out what the economists have forecasted<br />

for the Chicago market in 2022<br />

For Chicago real estate, 2021 was a more successful year than<br />

anyone could have anticipated. Homes flew off the market, sales<br />

prices skyrocketed and interest rates remained low, all of which led<br />

to homebuying demand we haven’t seen in years.<br />

Three top economists: Dr. Lawrence Yun, National Association<br />

of REALTORS ® , Danielle Hale, realtor.com ® , and Brandon Svec,<br />

the CoStar Group, discussed what’s ahead in the residential and<br />

commercial markets this year during the 2022 Market Outlook event<br />

in January. Here’s what they predicted.<br />

THE CHALLENGES<br />

Inventory<br />

An inventory strain is impacting not only the Chicago market but also<br />

the nation, as the number of homes for sale cannot meet homebuying<br />

demand. However, “I believe the worst in inventory has now passed,”<br />

Dr. Yun said.<br />

He is hopeful that there will be more inventory by springtime due<br />

to a variety of factors. Supply chain disruptions are anticipated to<br />

diminish, which will help increase new home construction, some<br />

buyers will trade up, therefore selling their current homes, and the<br />

Mortgage Forbearance Program will end, forcing those with mortgage<br />

delinquencies to sell their homes. However, demand is expected to<br />

remain high, and while these new streams of inventory will help ease<br />

some of the inventory strain, it won’t solve the shortage completely.<br />

Svec echoed this on the commercial side. “We’re seeing a healthy<br />

amount of supply come online, but demand has just been so strong<br />

that it can’t keep up,” he said.<br />

Interest & Mortgage Rates<br />

According to Dr. Yun, consumer price inflation is currently at 7.1%,<br />

the highest level of inflation in 40 years. With this will likely come<br />

rising interest and mortgage rates.<br />

“I think we are going to see a steady march upward [for mortgage<br />

rates] throughout 2022, and that is going to present a challenge<br />

for homebuyers,” Hale said, as these rising rates can diminish the<br />

opportunity for potential homebuyers to purchase a home.<br />

For REALTORS ® , Hale had tips to help “rate proof” your client’s budget.<br />

She suggests not only incorporating current mortgage rates into your<br />

client’s budget, but also anticipating what could happen if mortgage<br />

rates have a sudden increase and how that will affect them.<br />

“If rates do have a sudden move, you’ll have a gameplan and not be<br />

completely surprised as a homebuyer. I think that preparation and<br />

knowing how to act is really important.”<br />

Affordability<br />

Nationwide, there are just under 46 million people in the first-time<br />

homebuying window, which Hale describes as those between the ages<br />

of 26 and 35. Typically, these buyers look for more affordable options<br />

when purchasing their first home. With both rising home prices and<br />

mortgage rates, 2022 homebuyers will be looking at higher monthly<br />

payments, affecting affordability.<br />

“First-time buyer demand should be very strong,” Dr Yun said.<br />

“Unfortunately, high home prices, and now, rising mortgage rates and<br />

lack of starter home inventory is really hindering first-time activity.<br />

So, even though we are at peak demographic demand, the lack of<br />

supply and very high home prices are hindering first-time buyers.”<br />

With affordability top of mind and increasing demand for larger homes,<br />

many people are turning to the suburbs to purchase more affordable<br />

homes. “That inner to middle ring of suburbs around the downtown<br />

area is where we see the most interest from buyers and where we see<br />

homes selling the fastest,” Hale said. According to realtor.com ® data,<br />

the hottest zip code in the Chicago area, where homes are moving the<br />

fastest and getting looked at the most, is Lake in the Hills, where the<br />

median home price is $ 271,900.<br />

Rent<br />

For the commercial and multi-family market, rents are expected to<br />

continue to grow at an above-average pace, “just not quite the same<br />

blistering pace that they grew at in 2021,” Svec said. “Overall, in 2022,<br />

we’re expecting rent growth in the Chicago region to be slightly higher<br />

than 6%.” This may make it harder to find properties that meet their<br />

needs and are within their budget.<br />

Downtown Chicago is seeing the highest submarket rent growth at<br />

14%, while the lowest rent growth was in far north Chicago at just<br />

1.3%. However, this issue isn’t specific to just Chicago. Rising rent is<br />

a nationwide issue, with some cities seeing as much as 25% rent<br />

growth last year.<br />

Shrinking Households<br />

When comparing Chicago in 2021 versus 2020, there were fewer<br />

households throughout the city. “This suggests some people have<br />

left the Chicago area, or young renters who were on their own maybe<br />

moved back in with their parents, or some young people have taken on<br />

roommates,” Hale said. This could have a negative impact on the real<br />

estate market, as fewer households leads to fewer people looking for<br />

places to rent or buy.<br />

THE OPPORTUNITIES<br />

Rent<br />

Yes, rent falls on both the challenges and opportunities side of the list.<br />

The opportunity? When it comes to the decision to rent versus buy.<br />

Market Outlook<br />

Social Media<br />

Content:<br />

According to Hale, the median Chicago mortgage listing is $ 1,423 per<br />

month. For starter home mortgages, that number is $ 900. Compare<br />

that to the median rent price in the city, which is $ 1,800. When you<br />

crunch those numbers, more renters might look at buying, if they have<br />

the opportunity to do so.<br />

“I think a lot of people are exploring their options broadly. And so,<br />

what this says to me, is that there is a possibility for renters who are<br />

thinking about making a home purchase in the Chicago area…there are<br />

available listings out there,” she said.<br />

Homebuyer Demographics<br />

There are two strong homebuying demographics in the housing market<br />

right now: the first, as mentioned, is millennial first-time homebuyers;<br />

the second is Baby Boomers around the age of 66 who may want to<br />

downsize or go to other states. Not only does this provide you with a<br />

whole different set of homebuyers, but it also means these individuals<br />

are selling their homes, inventory which is much needed on the market<br />

to ease demand.<br />

However, that doesn’t mean all Baby Boomers are moving out of the<br />

Chicago area. “If we look at Census data, the average renter downtown<br />

is growing both older and wealthier, which tells me this is a renter-bychoice<br />

more than a renter-by-necessity,” Svec said.<br />

Buying Interest From In-Market<br />

In comparison to other large metro areas, the Chicagoland area ranks<br />

highly in buying interest from in-market: 79%, according to Hale.<br />

However, we’re lagging when it comes to attracting out-of-market<br />

interest. "I think that is one potential area of opportunity, to be a city<br />

that’s more attractive to shoppers looking to make a relocation move,”<br />

she said.<br />

Unemployment Rates<br />

All three economists unanimously mentioned that unemployment rates<br />

are rebounding to pre-pandemic levels throughout the U.S. As we know,<br />

employment rates impact housing prices and demand. With positive<br />

momentum in this area plus strong job growth expected in 2022, we will<br />

hopefully also see that positivity continue in the housing market.<br />

WHAT IT ALL MEANS<br />

When looking at the challenges and opportunities together, all<br />

economists forecast a positive 2022.<br />

“The real estate market we expect to remain dynamic,” Hale said.<br />

“If you thought 2021 was a<br />

great year, 2022 will match it,”<br />

Dr. Yun said.<br />

Your Spring Government<br />

Affairs Update<br />

REALTORS ® CALL ON DEPARTMENT OF<br />

WATER MANAGEMENT FOR REFORMS<br />

Currently, the City of Chicago’s INVEST South/West program gathers<br />

resources to inspire growth by transforming underserved commercial<br />

corridors and attracting more residents to the adjoining residential<br />

areas. Some of the homes in these areas are abandoned and dilapidated,<br />

and the properties still carry a water bill balance. Delinquent water<br />

bills owed to the city cause problems, as the purchasing party must<br />

pay the water bill in full to acquire the property. REALTORS ® will begin<br />

conversations with the Department of Water Management about<br />

relieving outstanding water debts for abandoned properties.<br />

The city and its emissaries often quote the need for affordable housing,<br />

and affordability begins with lessening acquisition costs, regulation<br />

costs and construction costs. Reducing or eradicating outstanding<br />

water bills can help encourage affordability.<br />

MONITORING CITY’S USAGE OF<br />

AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN ACT FUNDS<br />

The City of Chicago issued the State and Local Fiscal Recovery<br />

Funds – 2021 Recovery Plan Performance Report, outlining how $ 1,866<br />

billion in American Rescue Plan Act funds were allocated for an<br />

equitable recovery.<br />

Some of the larger expenditures include $ 12 million for homelessness<br />

support services, $ 85 million for violence prevention and $ 65 million for<br />

youth opportunities. Federal money in 2022 will include $ 32 million for<br />

mental health services, $ 85 million for job training and $ 51 million for small<br />

business economic assistance. Financial assistance programs are budgeted<br />

for $ 71 million, including a universal basic income (UBI) pilot program for<br />

5,000 families. In addition to UBI, the city seeks to “create immediate financial<br />

assistance programs for…undocumented residents, domestic workers<br />

and small community-based nonprofits providing safety net services.”<br />

The City of Chicago is monitoring funds through a dedicated Program<br />

Management Office. There are concerns about where the money for<br />

this budget is coming from and if there will be future tax increases to<br />

keep this running in the future.<br />

CITY SEEKS TO PROVIDE TENANTS<br />

WITH MORE RIGHTS<br />

The City of Chicago, through the Department of Housing, issued a<br />

Request for Proposal (RFP) for a Right to Counsel Program, which will<br />

provide tenants with pre-paid counsel during eviction hearings.<br />

A right to counsel is not a Constitutional guarantee in civil cases. While<br />

this initiative may be well-meaning, there is concern it will result in<br />

delayed evictions in Cook County, which is behind compared to other<br />

jurisdictions in the state.<br />

The REALTORS ® contend the city fails to bring equity to housing<br />

providers, which could be done through changes to the Residential<br />

Landlord Tenant Ordinance (RLTO). This matter will be closely monitored<br />

by the Government Affairs team.<br />

80% OF SMALL LANDLORDS HAVE<br />

NEVER HEARD OF JUST HOUSING<br />

AMENDMENT (JHA)<br />

It has been two years since the JHA went into effect. Most landlords<br />

have been able to comply and adjust their tenant screening process.<br />

However, staff is concerned with the lack of outreach to small owners<br />

and operators of rental properties. If landlords are not complying because<br />

they are not aware, that can lead to unnecessary misperceptions or<br />

additional regulations.<br />

In the fall of 2021, we partnered with the Illinois REALTORS ® and the<br />

National Association of REALTORS ® (NAR) to survey 457 owners of<br />

rental property in Cook County who are not directly associated with the<br />

REALTOR ® association. Over 75% own fewer than four rental units. Of<br />

the survey respondents, 80% had never heard of the JHA. Similarly, 81%<br />

had never heard of source of income as a protected class, which was<br />

passed in Cook County in 2013.<br />

The Cook County Human Rights Commission is responsible for enforcing<br />

JHA and source of income. In December 2021, staff shared the small landlord<br />

survey results with the Commission and County Board Commissioners,<br />

who reached out to learn more about how we can work together.<br />

HELP US ADDRESS PROPERTY TAX<br />

PREDICTABILITY<br />

When it comes to property taxes, affordability and predictability are<br />

priorities. While the Cook County property tax system is very complex<br />

and highly contentious, there must be a holistic approach to solving the<br />

property tax crisis. Over the next year, CAR staff will be working on ways to<br />

make property taxes more predictable. The affordability of property taxes<br />

will be the most challenging issue, given our government’s reliance on the<br />

stable income from real estate. County officials are up for re-election this<br />

year and property taxes will surely be a talking point on the campaign trail.<br />

If you have worked with clients who have left or cancelled a deal in Chicago<br />

or Cook County because of property taxes, we want to hear from you:<br />
