with Nadine Ferrata

goal in a very livable sense. It’s clean lines, a soft palate, and as far as color and concern, I create very livable spaces that will stand. My goal is that they never really look dated.

What’s typically your process for staging a listing?

South Loop?

Honestly, the proximity to parks and downtown.

What’s your favorite restaurant and/or coffee shop in the area?

For my favorite place for a coffee shop or cafe, I would go to The Spoke & Bird but for a restaurant, I usually go to South Coast Sushi.

How would you describe your interior design style?

I’m pretty transparent. You know, I try to be very transitional and not super contemporary. I’m appealing to the majority of the buyers that are coming down there. I go for a very clean look that can also be transition so that it appeals to a lot of people. That’s my

HAVENLIFESTYLES.COM

If I stage a listing, it obviously depends on the size of the property. Sometimes I use an outside stage or when I have a big place, we sometimes will augment with our inventory. I work with the owners very closely to make sure that it’s what I’m expecting as far as the overall appeal. Staging could cost anywhere from $500 by just taking what the owners have and making it better to $5,000 by augmenting it.

Do you have a typical buyer in mind when designing the space?

Usually the typical buyer is a parent.

We do a lot of townhomes and townhome rehabs. We’ll do condos as well, but we do a lot of townhomes, particularly in the South Loop. We’re going to be doing a lot of townhome rehabs because those units are 20 to 25 years old now. I just finished one at 319 E 18th St. and then I’m probably going to do another one very soon for another buyer of mine. I always describe myself as the property brothers, but I don’t have a twin and I’m a girl. I determine what needs work and bring it up to standards.

What are some of your favorite decorating tips?

How would you describe the homes in Chicago compared to other major cities?

I think the tip is to start by asking questions like how are we using the space? And how will an individual be looked up? It’s important to keep that in mind with whatever you’re picking it out. You need to determine how you’re going to live in this space, what’s going to go in there and what the individual sees themselves doing in the room.

Once that’s determined, we kind of work backwards from that.

I think the benefit of the South Loop in particular is that the townhome market has really good spaces. They’re wider than a lot of other places. They have a kind of classic look so they’re not going to get dated. You can certainly update interior finishes, but the exterior of every building is very classical. Again, they stand the test of time and appeal to a majority of buyers.

t would cost $70,000,000 to $80,000,000 to build this estate today and many elements could not be replicated. The superior construction and level of intricate hand-carved architectural details and finishes rival the grand estates on the east coast. Built of durable materials, this concrete, steel and brick structure features intricate hand-carved limestone, monumental limestone stairs, limestone fountains and ballustrades, Flemish bond masonry walls, slate and copper roofs, decorative copper scuppers, flashing, gutters and downspouts and leaded glass windows with limestone surrounds.

This magnificent English Renaissance estate was designed by Frederick Wainwright Perkins in 1917. This estate was the gift of Mrs. Schweppe’s father, Marshall Field & Company president John G. Shedd. It is beautifully situated on 5.3 lush, private acres overlooking Lake Michigan with approximately 400 feet of beachfront. The extensive exterior hardscape, professional landscaping, decorative monumental fountains, grand terraces with limestone balustrade, and open bluff’s edge esplanade make this a place to behold. The west terrace and dramatic east bluff-edge terrace were designed by the eminent Boston firm of Pray, Hubbard & Company.

The interior features of this majestic estate include: handcarved wood millwork and mouldings, hand-carved limestone surrounds and walls, 11 fireplaces with exquisite hand-carved marble and limestone mantles, plaster walls and intricate plaster relief ceilings. The spectacular library with hand carved “linen fold” panels and handsome carved bookcases with exquisite coat of arms detailing is one example of the exceptional craftsmanship embodying this estate. Enjoy the warmth and elegance of the grand sun-filled rooms with amazing views of the beautiful grounds and Lake Michigan.

Homeowners in Chicago pay higher property taxes than 93% of the U.S. Since 1990, residential property taxes have grown 3.3 times faster than state’s median household income, as reported

by Illinois Policy.

In Chicago area counties, the effective tax rates are: McHenry County: 2.82 percent, Kane County: 2.76 percent, Lake County: 2.70 percent, Will County: 2.38 percent, DuPage County: 2.17 percent, and Cook County: 2.10 percent, according to Crain’s Chicago Business.

Nationwide, the average property tax was 1.17 percent in 2017. 18 U.S. counties had tax rates over 3 percent, two of which were in Illinois: Winnebago County, which was 3.19 percent, and Bureau

REASONING One explanation for this could be the large labor pool that has grown in Chicago, with 36 Fortune 500 companies headquartered in the city.

Another reason that could explain why the tax amounts are so high is because there are so many taxing authorities in the state. There are more than 8,000 authorities that give money to city & county governments, as well as school districts.

Fire departments, libraries, and parks are only a few of several areas that beneďŹ t from property taxes.

Relative to neighboring states, Illinois remains one of the highest but is still surrounded by some states with equally high tax rates.

Some of the states include: Wisconsin which equates to 1.95 percent and Michigan which is 1.71 percent. Other states that have much lower rates include: Iowa with 1.50 percent, Missouri with 1 percent, and Kentucky, which is one of the lowest, with 0.85 percent.

Even though the tax rates have skyrocketed, there are a variety of ways that residents can attempt to lower their taxes.

County, which was 3.64 percent.

Illinois’ average effective property tax rate as of 2018 was 2.32%, according to a report by SmartAsset.

At a property tax rate of 2.32%, it takes 43 years for an Illinois family to property taxes that are equal to the value of their home, according to Illinois Policy.

Cook County’s assessment ratio is 10% for residential properties. The assessment ratio being the relationship of the assessed value of a property to its market value.

The Nonpartisan Tax Foundation has reported that since Chicago’s major tax increase, Illinois now has the highest property taxes in the U.S.

While taxes have rapidly grown, average salaries have remained relatively the same, therefore, forcing residents to move out-ofstate.

In 2018, Illinois implemented a at income tax rate. As of this year, the top corporate tax rate was 9.5%, according to the Tax Foundation. In addition, residents had to pay 4.95% of their net income.

SOLUTIONS One way Chicago residents can signiďŹ cantly lower their taxes is through House Bill 4224, which if passed, would stop Illinois’ tax rates from climbing even higher.

HB 4224 is part of Governor Bruce Rauner’s turnaround agenda and in order for the bill to work, property taxes would have to stay frozen for the next 28 years, according to Illinois Policy.

HAVENLIFESTYLES.COM Other elements of the legislation include: allowing the scope of bargaining agreements to narrow and create less expensive bids for government work.

Other potential ways to lower the amount is through forceful consolidation and going through the appeal process, which is designed to modify assessments when necessary.

Once residents get their new assessment, they have 30 days to ďŹ le an appeal to the Cook County Assessor’s Office.

Assessments are typically based on the market value of an individual’s home.

For someone’s home, their property is 1/10th of the market value. For businesses, it’s 1/4th of the market value.

Prior to making an appeal, it would be smart to research similar homes in your area with sales that were in the same range as your own, and then use that data as evidence for when you argue for a lower price point.

Appeals are intended to reduce the Assessor’s valuation of a property. What’s important to note is that an appeal doesn’t automatically lower a future tax bill and most tax revenue goes toward public schools.

The value of a home is determined by the Assessor’s Office analysis of the previous three years of sales and marketing conditions for similar homes in the neighborhood, according to ABC7 Chicago.

If you’re successful in your appeals, the lowered rate would be reected in second-installment tax bills.

THE INITIATIVE IS A $1.4 BILLION FRAMEWORK FOR A MAJOR HOUSING PLAN FROM 2019 TO 2023...

The Chicago City Council has officially approved Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s ďŹ ve-year housing plan for 2019.

Mayor Emanuel went before the City Council on December 11 to propose his legislation to integrate lower-cost housing into neighborhoods that are mainly single-family homes in Chicago.

On the aim of his proposed legislation, Mayor Emanuel commented,“This plan is more than goals and strategies. It’s a vision for a more equitable city where every resident has access to a safe, affordable home that meets their family’s needs.�

“From West Englewood to the West Loop to West Ridge, we will continue to work with elected officials and communities to help residents stay in their homes while expanding affordable housing options.�

The initiative is a $1.4 billion framework for a major housing plan from 2019 to 2023,

HAVENLIFESTYLES.COM

and will coordinate support for 40,000 residential units, as stated by the Chicago Government for Planning and Development.

In Mayor Emanuel’s ordinance he notes that since the economic collapse of 2008, there’s been a shift in the Chicago housing market from a decrease in housing prices to “large-scale demographic and economic forces� that are massively changing the city.

One notable feature of the mayor’s legislation is his demand for legalizing new coach houses, which have been banned since 1957.

Coach houses, also known as granny ats, were typically a second outdoor building that was used to house horse-drawn carriages.

More recently, they’re buildings that have been converted into secondary suites, guest houses, or garages.

Some advocates say that the accessory homes could drive down rent, while others believe that the construction could have consequences.

Crain’s Chicago reports that Steven Vance, an urban planner with MAP Strategies and founder of Chicago Cityscape, said, “Current zoning says that if you don’t have a renter in the coach house for a year or longer, you’re not allowed to rent it out again, ever.�

Advocates hope that by eliminating the one-year rule, residents will have the time and opportunity to bring their granny at up to code.

What’s the best part about living in your neighborhood in Chicago?

Paul: The peace and quiet. You don’t even realize you’re in downtown Chicago when you sit in the backyard. With the pool, lights, and trees, you have total privacy. It’s nice to be able to live in your own private compound that’s only ďŹ ve minutes from Rush Street.

H AV E N L I F E ST Y L E S .CO M

Paul: Boefhaus —It’s a big time steak joint. It’s a great restaurant and I usually order ďŹ sh. There are some other local restaurants that are really good as well as a bunch of new ones that are coming up —it’s a hot area.

You’re ďŹ ve minutes from The West Loop, which is currently the hottest area in the city. Randolph Street is great and also has a bunch of up-and-coming restaurants.

How would you describe the interior design style of your home?

Paul: I would describe the interior design style as classic modern because there’s a lot of wood which warms it up but it also an array of colors.

they’re pieces that I was able to incorporate and design.

What are some of your favorite activities to do in the area?

Paul: It’s amazing because you’re ďŹ ve minutes from everywhere. But the greatest part is that you’re only two minutes from all of the highways. If you were by the Hancock building, it might take you twenty minutes to get to the highway but from where I am, you’re only two minutes from every major highway —south or west.

Favorite decorating tips?

Paul: My main tip would be to design what you like. Some of my favorite pieces include a yellow and brown sofa where I went out and bought the fabric and then gave it to the furniture builder to design. I also wanted a yellow bar with orange barstools —so

You also have everything that you need right inside the home. You’re able to swim in the pool, use the golf simulator, workout in the gym, and watch a ďŹ lm in the movie room — so you never have to leave.

TOP HOME BUYING APPS In the digital age, we do everything from our phones. Want food? There’s an app for that. Want your laundry done? There’s an app for that. Have any type of need, you can probably guess someone, somewhere has created an app to address it. So, why wouldn’t we buy a home using an app?

For a majority of Americans, buying a home is the most expensive purchase they will make during their lives. Throw in the complexities that accompany the homebuying process, and the need to revamp shopping for a home was long overdue. We put together a list of our choices for the top home buying apps you should check out before you close.

ZILLOW

HOMESNAP

One of the most dependable and user friendly apps on the market, Zillow, makes the homebuying process as seamless as possible. With a vast directory of available listings, interactive features and an estimate of property value compiled from data, this app rises above the rest.

Homesnap simplifies the homebuying process with features that allow house hunters to snap a photo of a home and it’ll identify the home details. Whether the home you fancy is on sale or not, Homesnap pulls up a profile of past sale history

REALTOR.COM

REDFIN

One of the advantages of this app is it is backed by the National Agency of Realtors, guaranteeing a large portfolio of available homes. A neat element offered is the ability to filter your home search by specific features such as central air, fireplace and security features.

An offshoot of the Redfin Real Estate company, Redfin’s map interface allows you to search homes by neighborhood and schedule a tour of your favorite selections directly with the agent through the app.

CO EVERYWHERE This app goes beyond other home buying apps by offering house hunters more than home facts. Co Everywhere focuses on the community and provides information about places to eat, events occurring and other community events.

and home features.

EVERNOTE This app is a life-saver for individuals embarking on the home buying process.

Acting as your dig-ital filing cabinet, Evernote houses all the information you gathered, from photos to home profiles in an easy to use format.
