Every fall, Beverly and Mt. Greenwood come alive with stories about the Ridge. Part folklore, part history. From local legends to century-old homes, these neighborhoods show how Chicago’s past still shapes daily life on the South Side.

If you’re planning to sell this fall, setting the right price can make or break your sale. A realistic number attracts more buyers and prevents wasted time on the market. Learn how to price smart, avoid overpricing, and sell with confidence before the holidays.

HGTV has shaped how many first-time buyers think about purchasing a home, but real life doesn’t usually come with a dramatic “aha” moment.

The key is learning to look past dated finishes or clutter and focus on the bigger picture of value and potential.

Fall is often overlooked as a season for selling, but it can offer unique advantages. Less competition, motivated buyers, and the chance to avoid holiday stress all work in a seller’s favor. For military families on PCS timelines, listing before the holidays can make life much easier.
