A post at HGTV’s FrontDoor site has this headline: “Trending: International Investors Buying Up Chicago.”
International house hunters, according to FrontDoor, represent “a smoking trend” and they’re reaching out to an obscure Chicago firm rather than one of its internationally-known ones to seal the deal.
My take: there’s more smoke being blown than trend to be seen.
Are any Realtors or property managers out there seeing an influx of international investors looking to buy the modestly-priced condos described in the FrontDoor post?
FG Realty is definitely a questionable company. Once I asked them to fill a condo I own downtown as a rental. They went in, took pictures, but then never got back to me.
After waiting and hearing nothing I contacted another realtor (a real one) and got my condo filled pretty quickly. How, in this rental market, can you not fill a nice downtown condo? Something is fishy with that company…
