Welcome to OwnACondo.com! We’re eager to show you around. If you’re looking to buy, sell and learn about Chicago condos or suburban Chicago condos, you’ve come to the right place. We don’t want to bury this information on a bland “About Us” page. After all, this is about you! We want to provide you with information, resources and easy navigation. In a fast-paced and ever-changing world, people increasingly turn to specialists to help them accomplish what needs to be done. The skills of a shade-tree mechanic, while admirable, simply don’t get the job accomplished when today’s computer-controlled, sophisticated vehicles need servicing. And just like you don’t want an appliance salesperson helping you select computer software or vice-versa, you don’t want just any real estate professional trying to help with your condo needs. OwnACondo.com is the best place to buy and sell condos , and specialization is the key. The vision to develop a specialty organization helping people with condos began more than a dozen years ago when Brian Kuzdas, the company founder, converted a small apartment building into condos in Chicago.

In a word: Stunning. Actually, we have more than just one word for Aqua , an incredible new high-rise condominium tower just north of Millennium Park in Chicago, near the bank of the Chicago River. Fluid. Sensuous. Supple. Flowing. Mind-bending. Shall we continue? Chicago has always embraced bold architecture. Lake Michigan and the Chicago River are often reflected in the designs, literally and figuratively. But Aqua takes stunning design to a new level. In fact, to quote the developer, Aqua is “drawing Lake Michigan up to the sky.” An apt description, indeed. Condominiums available at Aqua include eight floor plans of studios, 1-, 2- and 3-bedroom residences; nine exclusive three-floor luxury penthouses; 1 to 3 baths; dens available with certain floor plans; and distinctive balcony space for most units. The balcony decks are what give the building its unique, rippling visual effect, from the 53rd floor all the way to the top. The 81-story, two million square-foot Aqua tower is scheduled for completion by fall 2009. It includes 264 condos, 476 apartments and 210 hotel rooms, as well as office and retail space.have the most rock-bottom estimate. Consider the potential consequences if an uninsured or under-insured condo rehabber damages your property, or injures himself/herself while on your property. You could be liable! Be sure to also check a contractor’s longevity in the business, additional referrals or examples of work you can visit, along with experience in the specific task(s) you are looking to accomplish. Check online as well as with your local Better Business Bureau. You should also require a written guarantee. A deposit of 25-33% is acceptable, with final payment due on completion. And any condo rehabber who suggests or requires a “sign on the dotted line now for the best price” discount or promotion is probably worth steering away from. The condo specialists at OwnACondo.com are happy to provide these general tips for selecting a condo rehabber . This is not meant to serve as an all-inclusive guide. Be sure to use your own best judgment and input from a variety of sources when researching and selecting a contractor for your specific needs.

From a makeover of the bathroom or kitchen to a remodeling of the entire condominium, condo rehabbers can be invaluable in making your place a true home. But, like selecting a mover or other service for your Chicago condo or suburban Chicago condo, where can you begin? Consumer experts agree that perhaps the worst way to choose is by the size or style of an ad you might find online, in a local phone book or in a printed publication. That method should be a starting point at the very most. The easiest and perhaps best way to select a condo rehabber is to ask for referrals or suggestions from people you trust, such as a friend or family member. Previous experience goes a long way in establishing trust and capability. Be sure to obtain the names of more than one condo rehabber to consider. Juggling dozens will likely bog you down and waste the time of legitimate businesspeople, but three is a great start. Meet with the contractors to see if there is a chemistry or rapport. Contractors need to be punctual and professionally equipped to make the proper measurements and notes necessary to provide you with an appropriate estimate.
