It’s been a homecoming of sorts, at my old (business) stomping grounds when I was associated with a real estate company that displays the Rock of Gibraltar, about five years ago. 6430 N Central Ave. in Edgebrook’s central business district, has been home to RE/MAX Cityview for the past year, and is now my new office as well.

The three years I spent at RE/MAX First Class Realty in Skokie were rewarding, from a business point of view, as well as socially, as I met a number of new and familiar colleagues, and Skokie clients. But given the fact that my business centers around Edgebrook, Sauganash, Gladstone Park, and Forest Glen, there was a need to relocate back here. Obviously, in Edgebrook, we’re not suffering from a shortage of real estate offices, and since I bleed RE/MAX red-white-and-blue, the decision to join RE/MAX Cityview was fairly simple. My sincere thanks go to the owners of RE/MAX First Class Realty in Skokie, the Kontos family, for providing me with a first-class business environment during the past three years, and for whom I have the utmost respect. I will miss them and most of my colleagues there, but it was simply time for a change.

RE/MAX Cityview in Edgebrook is owned and operated by Robert and Ramina Padron, a super dynamic couple who are on the fast track to turning this office into a neighborhood real estate powerhouse. I’ve only been here about two weeks, and I already feel at home. Here are a couple of snapshots of my cubical, and of our conference room:

During my first week, not only did Rob help me hook up my computer to the office/printer network, he also FIXED my PC with a printer problem that I was having for about the past year. And that’s because Rob is not only the broker/owner of this office, but he also has a information technology background. Right up my alley. Rob and the office staff have really done a tremendous job in making my transition super easy, as switching offices even within the RE/MAX system poses some significant administrative challenges. As if that wasn’t already enough of a nice welcome, check out what I ran into the other day, walking in to the office:

I’m really not much of a ham, actually, more a shy kinda guy, but I suppose that at least all the visitors to Happy Foods now know that I work at RE/MAX in Edgebrook. Thanks Rob and Ramina. You guys really know how to make your new associates feel welcome. And I’m not even talking about the delicious designer cookie basket I found on my desk on my second day in the office.

So, now that we’ve got the big news out of the way, it’s time for you to visit me at my new digs. Whether you’re selling or buying real estate in Edgebrook, Sauganash, Forest Glen, Gladstone Park, or anywhere else in Illinois for that matter, contact me. I am as close as your phone, or email program.
