I launched my freelance writing career in 1989 and have since produced more than 4,000 bylined articles for a wide array of traditional and web-based publications. I began covering real estate in 1991 when the Chicago Tribune assigned me to pen an article on the renovation of Chicago’s illustrious Union State. That first foray into real estate led to my producing hundreds of articles for all of the Tribune’s traditional real estate sections, Friday Your Place, Saturday New Homes and Sunday Real Estate, where I covered many facets of residential real estate. Additional real estate writing has included pieces for both consumer and trade publications, including Bankrate.com, Multi-Housing News, Commercial Property Executive, Units and Modern Luxury, among many others.
