Chicago Condo Company Has New Headquarters Now Open In Oak Brook, Illinois
Bigger, Better Location Helps Us Expand Our Services
Moving day dawned sunny and mild, with plastic bins stacked as high as many of our office employees are tall. The big moving trucks came early on September 27, 2007 to whisk OwnACondo.com to its new company headquarters in Oak Brook, Illinois.
The move is now complete, the last of the files have been put away and every aspect of business life is back to full speed.
All cylinders are firing again, stronger than ever, with barely any interruption during the move, and we couldn’t be happier. Not only has the general office space expanded and become more efficient, but the move has given us growth opportunities for a variety of other ventures as well.
A new division called FinanceACondo.com has opened in a brand new suite of more than 2,000 square feet directly across the hall from OwnACondo.com.
Our new home at 2001 Midwest Road also provides us with a new training suite of 3,000 square feet to accommodate our team of Realtors®, expected to be 100-strong by early 2008. An additional suite of 2,000 square feet will house our new InsureACondo division that will be in operation by February, 2008.
“These important additions, combined with the space already occupied by OwnACondo.com and Brookshire Investments, our commercial division, gives us 12,000 square feet in a central, highly accessible location,†says Brian Kuzdas, founder and owner. “Our clients, sales associates and developer partners are being serviced like never before. Our goals are one-stop shopping and industry-leading customer service.â€
OwnACondo.com and its related divisions are open from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. every day of the week by telephone, and from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday for walk-in service.
Guests For The Holidays? You Can Do It, Even In A Chicago Condo!
Year-end holiday time is fast approaching, and there’s no reason to not consider hosting a family member or friend just because you live in a condo.
Cheryl Rabin, the co-host of OwnACondo.com’s weekly radio program Condo Talk Live! has some great suggestions for making a holiday visitor feel comfortable and welcome.
“Fill a basket with travel-sized items like soap, mouthwash, toothpaste and other products,†she says. “Whenever you have company, it never fails that your guest(s) will ask ‘Do you have an extra___________? I forgot mine’.â€
Another great touch Cheryl suggests is having a one-size-fits-all bathrobe, because most people don’t travel with such a bulky and heavy item. “Get navy or black for a man, white for a woman,†she says. “Slippers will be appreciated, too.â€
On the more practical side, make sure your guest has an alarm clock and even a set of keys, if appropriate. Cheryl has even purchased one or more of her guest’s favorite magazines, foods and snacks.
An especially nice touch is a bed turn-down, complete with a chocolate on the pillow and a light application of linen spray so your holiday guest feels happy and appreciated. Who knows? You just might receive the same treatment when that person has you as a guest for the next holiday!
Thinking Of Chicago Condo Investing?
You’ve probably heard the old saying: “The majority of America’s millionaires made their fortunes with real estate.â€
Stock market tycoons and Internet Einsteins notwithstanding, real estate remains the primary investment of choice for longest-lasting wealth building.
And that’s whether you’re a Donald Trump-in-the-making or someone looking to help secure a future for yourself or your family.
Perhaps you’ve been thinking about a real estate investment but have your eye on the current market situation. Ups and downs are part of any market.
Or, perhaps you understand the cyclical nature of the market and are ready to take advantage of a buyer’s market and purchase an investment rental property, but are unsure of the responsibilities of being a landlord.
A Master Lease program available at three outstanding properties makes it easy.
Currently, at these very desirable properties, you can purchase a one- or two-bedroom condo (depending on location) with a standard down payment and make cash flow on that investment every single month for two years.
You’ll have no tenant worries of any kind. No notices. No repairs. No maintenance. No rent collections. No calls. If the tenant moves out, suddenly or scheduled, you’ll receive your full monthly amount, and the re-rental is handled for you.
Where can you find these outstanding investment opportunities? At three properties exclusively represented by OwnACondo.com: Darlington Court Condominiums in Crystal Lake, Illinois, Briarton Place Condominiums in Glen Ellyn, Illinois and West 55th Street Condominiums in Chicago.

Red-Hot Deals At Chicago Condo Expo.
Twenty developers from around Chicago joined with OwnACondo.com to bring market-leading incentives to the Fall Condo Expo, held Oct. 20 and 21.
Attendees at the Hyatt Regency O'Hare and the Hyatt Regency McCormick Place learned about the best deals in Chicagoland condominiums and townhomes while watching high-energy videos that spotlighted each property. They then had the opportunity to meet with the developers to discuss the specific incentives and make reservations for the condos they were interested in purchasing.
Live entertainment, giveaways and refreshments were also offered for all the good-spirited participants who put aside an unseasonably warm, 79-degree weekend to attend the Expo.  We had some technical glitches and light attendance on Day 1 at O'Hare, but Day 2 at McCormick Place was a much more rockin' affair that we hope to expand upon soon!
Incentives and promotions from the Condo Expo are available through Nov. 30, 2007. Check our Wealth Expo blog post above for more information.
