Chicago managing brokers share their insights on the market

What’s happening with Chicago’s market amid the national concerns that are affecting the economy? What are buyers looking for? What can agents do to stand out? These are just some of the topics that were addressed by a panel of some of Chicago’s top managing brokers at Chicago Agent magazine’s Accelerate Summit, held March 4 at the Merchandise Mart. Led by moderator and Compass senior broker Amy Duong Kim, here’s what this group of industry leaders had to say.

A slower housing market doesn’t have to mean less business. Here are eight ways to stay competitive.

After several years of strong sales and median price gains, the Illinois housing market has gotten off to a slower start this year.

Through the first four months of the year, many parts of the state saw year-over-year declines in sales. Median prices, while still stable, have fallen below the pace seen in previous years.

Of course, these numbers aren’t anywhere close to reflecting the recessionary levels seen a decade ago, but they may indicate REALTORS® are having to work harder – and smarter – to keep their edge.

“Someone in our office called the current market ‘Groundhog Day,’ because it sticks its head out of the ground, stays active for a little while, and then goes back down into its hole,” says Kim Kerbis, vice president of brokerages for @properties in Chicago.

The Right Way to Price Properties

@properties Broker Associate Kim Kerbis cringes when she recalls one of the listings she had on the market the longest during her career.  The listing was place on the market right at the time when the market was at one of its worst points, and though it was listed at $275,000 she received a cash offer of $250,000 on the home in May 2009.

Gertrude Lempp Kerbis: Modern Architect

from Karen Carter

Kerbis, one of the first women architects working in the modern style, studied with Mies van der Rohe at IIT. In 1958, she designed the dining hall at the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs while working at Skidmore Ownings and Merrill (SOM). She later went on to teach and form her own practice. Kerbis was a founding member of Women in Architecture. She received the AIA Lifetime Achievement Award in 2008. A fascinating story told by an amazing woman.
