September tends to bring a change in pace for our local market. Families who paused their search over the summer, whether for vacations or the start of the school year, often come back into the market this month with more urgency.

For realtors, that can mean a tighter window between contract and closing. Having a closing attorney who turns around title reviews and documents quickly becomes especially valuable this time of year. That's the kind of partner we aim to be for every agent I work with.

A short sale happens when a home sells for less than what is owed on the mortgage, with the lender's approval. It can be a good alternative to foreclosure for homeowners who owe more than their home is worth.

The process has a lot of moving parts, and having an experienced attorney involved can make the difference between a smooth sale and a stressful one. If you are considering a short sale, let's talk through your situation.

We get this question a lot.

A real estate closing attorney reviews your contract, handles title issues, coordinates with lenders and the other side, and makes sure your closing day goes smoothly. In Illinois, having an attorney in your corner is not just helpful, it protects your interests at every step.

Gurney Law Group is here to make sure nothing gets missed.

August means back to school schedules, and for a lot of families, it also means racing to close on a home before the first day of class.

Did you know that Chicago home inventory is down nearly 30 percent compared to last year?

When supply is that tight, the right home does not stay available for long.

Buyers who are ready to move quickly are the ones who win, and that means having your real estate attorney lined up before you find the property, not after.

Gurney Law Group is ready to step in the moment you have an accepted offer so you do not lose time when it matters most.

Shoutout to someone who deserves it: Cyndi Fulco

I've had the pleasure of working with Cyndi for years, and I can say without hesitation, she's one of the best in the business.

Cyndi is now expanding her Transaction Coordinator services independently, and she's also open to part-time, remote administrative or executive assistant roles. If you're an attorney, title company, or business that could use someone with her skill set, do yourself a favor and reach out.

Big news for Chicago homebuyers:
The City of Chicago just launched the HomeGrown Purchase Assistance Program, offering eligible buyers up to $70,000 toward a down payment and closing costs.
This is a grant, not a loan, meaning it doesn't need to be repaid.

To qualify, you'll need to:

Purchase a one- or two-unit home in Chicago as your primary residence
Plan to live there for at least five years
Have a household income at or below 150% of the area median income (up to $127,650 for an individual, or up to $182,250 for a family of four)
Complete a HUD-certified homebuyer education course
Contribute at least 1% of the purchase price from personal funds

Funding is limited and applications are open now. If you've been waiting for the right time to buy, this could be it.

Have questions about how this works or want to talk through your options? Reach out, we're happy to help.

There is no better feeling than a client who feels protected, informed, and confident from start to finish. First-time buyer or not, that is exactly the experience we strive to create for every client who walks through our doors.

"They made sure they explained every step to take to get things done, they protected me from being screwed over in any form or fashion. I was a first time buyer and they made me feel safe through my whole process. Imani and James was the best!!!"

The market may slow down heading into summer. Our standards never do.

As Chicagoland settles into the warmer months, real estate activity tends to ease, but your legal needs don't take a vacation. At Gurney Law Group, we stay committed to clear communication, timely counsel, and personal attention no matter the season.

The best time to call a real estate attorney is before you need one. Before you sign. Before you close. Before complications arise.

If you have a transaction coming up this summer, or just want to make sure you're covered, reach out. We would love to hear from you.

Call Gurney Law Group today.
