It's a virtual Chicago address for your business that may be flung into the hinterlands of the Chicago suburbs. Clean, small and large breakout and conference rooms, with large and small screens. Flawless WiFi. Large kitchen and cafe area. Great view, swank location in the Lyric Opera building. A receptionist on duty during the day. Would be great for business travelers from other cities to blow in and be set up right away for meetings, meeting clients, or even a happy hour! Great resource.

I came here through Desk Pass…read more Positives: - Overall the work ethic is high, everyone seems respectable and minimizes chit chat etc. - Coffee Station (BUT I do wish they had milk options and flavoring of coffees) - Clean(ish) kitchen area. There seems to be those who still think others will do their dishes, not cool. Overall though it's nice and clean. - Snack options, this is on the honor system and seemed to be followed, they have chips, la croix, etc available Needing Improvement: - Transparency: Be warned there is a $100 "set up" fee with the membership, this is not stated anywhere on the site. - Security: Anyone and everyone were walking in and out of the building. It appears as though you need to be buzzed in but nope, all you had to do was pull the door handle and walk right in. - Space: this place gets crowded, fast! Get here early and be prepared to share your space. - Outlets: where are they? In the phone booths, there are no outlets. I understand this may be the case to minimize the amount of time using them but what if you go to take a call and need to charge your phone? - Outlet cont. The few that are available are huge holes in the ground which are a big fall factor (see picture). I almost placed my foot in this while trying to maneuver through tables to a seat. One could easily twist their ankle with this. - Available staff: this was my first time coming here and when I walked in, it wasn't clear where the front desk was, WHY? Because no one was there. The person who is to be there would leave often for long periods of time. For members, this may be ok, but for the newbie this is confusing. - LOUD music: they play music in the sound system and it's loud. I could hear it while wearing headphone listening to a podcast. - Chairs: they are ok but a more comfortable one could be had

Creative Coworking has been on the Evanston scene for a couple of years now and I use the space for…read moremy business. Angela (the owner) has really created a great community of small business owners that do not have the need for a full time office or the overhead that comes with it. She has also put together a team of temporary helpers that can fill in as needed with any of the "coworkers". Everyone I have met has been friendly and there is a nice diversity of tennants. Physically, the space is great as she keeps a rotating display of local artist's work hanging on the walls and also does gallery nights. I would highly recommend Creative Coworking for anyone looking for some shared office space or mailing address on the North Shore of Chicago.

I'm fully convinced we'd be riding out the COVID-19 pandemic in a small NYC apartment for the…read moreduration - if we hadn't met John and Katie in February. The ThirdBLVD team was an incredible asset to us throughout the buying process. We knew John was the right agent for us within 3 minutes of our first conversation, because he really *listened* - asking clarifying questions and confidently integrating what we'd already shared about our preferences into his recommendations. John and Katie helped us broaden our parameters for neighborhoods, and made viewing appointments with super-quick turnarounds when we were able to fly to Chicago on short notice. They took the time to drive us around our target neighborhoods block by block, pointing out restaurants we might want to check out, which areas might experience too much train noise, and which types of facades were known to deteriorate quickly. They showed us a variety of property types so we could get a feel for all the options on the market, and they had an obvious depth of knowledge about construction processes and materials, neighborhood strengths and weaknesses, and reasonable timelines for each step of the process. When we found the place we wanted, they set achievable expectations for negotiations and secured us an accepted offer below asking. Then they had a whole network of contacts that sprang into action, with multiple recommendations for mortgage brokers, real estate attorneys, and inspectors, which saved us many hours of research as out-of-towners. And they stuck by us throughout the closing and move-in process, which was especially complicated given the pandemic. If you like straight talk with an open mind, this is your team. If you like being surrounded by people who are comfortable enough in their expertise to really listen to what you value, this is your team. If you want to wake up every morning thinking - "How in the world am I so lucky that I get to live here?" - this is your team. We can't recommend John and Katie more highly. We've gone from not being able to leave our NYC apartment in 40 days to having coffee on the balcony in the Chicago sunshine in total safety. Literally priceless.

Amy Reynolds who was recommended to me by Andy Sokol is a great realtor! My partner and I listed…read moreall of our needs and necessities when it came to finding a rental property. Amy listened to all we had to say and carefully found great listings for us to consider and see in person. At the time, we were living out of state and decided that we wanted to spend a weekend in Chicago to check the properties ourselves(I would highly recommend you do this if you are in a similar situation as it's easier to get a feel for things in person vs pictures/videos). We looped Amy into the dates that we would be here and she worked her magic and had all of our listings showed to us on a single day. The night before, we saw a listing become available on the market and also asked Amy to include that in the showing. She worked diligently and made it happen come showing day. Amy's got great communication skills and made the whole process a breeze! Since we did not have a car with us, she even offered to drive us to the showings and also show us around the neighborhoods. Such a stressful experience if done on your own but again, Amy made it such a great, and easy one. After all the properties we saw, we finally went with the one that felt the most right to us and Amy amazed us again with negotiating out deals with the property owner/company that managed it. She walked us through the steps on what we needed to do next to secure the property and was available throughout the whole process to help answer all the questions we had as well as being very reassuring throughout the process of application. The market can be competitive and scary for rental properties but having a great realtor definitely gave us a competitive edge and a huge reassurance. Thank you Amy and thank you Andy Sokol for connecting me to her! You guys have got a great team and I will be using Amy again should I ever need to buy/rent. Sokol group is highly recommended by me and I will be referring any friends who need real estate services!

I recently hired Archa Construction to remodel my kitchen and bathroom, and I couldn't be more…read morepleased with the results. They delivered a modern, stylish, and functional transformation in both spaces. Kitchen Remodel: The kitchen is now a dream space! Archa Construction installed beautiful white cabinets with black hardware, giving the room a sleek, clean look. The stainless steel appliances fit perfectly with the updated aesthetic, and the lighting - both recessed and pendant - brings a bright, welcoming atmosphere. The center island provides ample workspace, and the quality of the materials and craftsmanship stands out. The overall layout is now more open and efficient, making cooking and entertaining a breeze. They helped us to chose and buy everything for our kitchen, from cabinets to tile. Bathroom Remodel: The bathroom was also completely transformed. The marble-style tiles give it a luxurious, high-end feel, and the walk-in shower is spacious with modern black fixtures that really tie the room together. The new vanity, with its illuminated mirror, adds both function and elegance. Every detail feels thoughtfully designed, and it makes the space feel like a private spa. Throughout the project, guys were professional, timely, and responsive. They stayed on schedule, kept the workspace tidy, and were always willing to listen to my feedback. I am thoroughly impressed with their attention to detail and the overall quality of the work. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to renovate their home. This project was so cheap for me, its kind of less than half price of the project, other companies offered me 2x or 3x for this project than these guys offered me! I think its because they are newer to this area and new company, but surely they have 15+ years of experience.

My experience: I needed an apartment and knew American Realty accepted walk-ins. I visited after 5pm and there was still staff available to take me. The office felt laid back and looked minimal, with complimentary water dispenser and home-related magazines as reading material. Sean Easton took me under his metaphorical wing and explained the process between real estate broker, potential tenant, and landlord client. Afterwards, I had a better idea and knew what to expect from the ordeal. I was able to view an apartment (which is now mine) same day and have a walk through. He pitched the unit, as expected, but allowed me to view the unit carefully at my own pace, while waiting patiently. After I made my decision, we handled the paperwork in detail. During processing waiting times, Sean responded to communications quickly and set meeting times flexibly around my work availability. In a little over a week I met with my new landlord and had the keys to my new place. If me or my landlord have questions or issues, Sean assured he could be contacted anytime for assistance. Summary: Agent was flexible and accommodated my work schedule. When unexpected events occurred, agent responded quickly and provided alternate arrangements. Agent knowledgeable about business practices and showed great deal of patience with paperwork and walk-through. Highly recommend American Realty business based on transaction with Agent Sean Easton.
