Want a renovated apartment in the South Loop with a pool and a sun deck? A Craigslist ad from Chicagoland Property Group’s Mike Britton has just what you’re looking for.
There’s only one teeny, tiny problem: the building pictured and described in the ad doesn’t have a pool.
That’s only a problem if you’re a renter. If you’re a rental service broker you don’t deal in facts. You make stuff up that you think will sucker renters into contacting you.
The pool pictured in the ad is at Pensacola Place in Uptown, seven miles from the South Loop building. Mike Britton knows that if he’s ever set foot in either building.
