THE TECH EDGE TECHNOLOGY HAS REVOLUTIONIZED THE REAL ESTATE INDUSTRY BUT ACCORDING TO LOCAL REAL ESTATE PROFESSIONALS, ESTABLISHING AND MAINTAINING GOOD RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN REAL ESTATE PROFESSIONALS AND CLIENTS REMAINS THE KEY TO SUCCESS. BY MITCH HURST THE NORTH SHORE WEEKEND

Three decades ago, homebuyers were completely reliant on their real estate brokers to get information about properties that may be of interest to them. Before the internet, they couldn’t see pictures or listings of homes or gather data on their own about homes or the communities in which they were located. To say that everything has changed is an understatement. Welcome to the brave new world of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Consumers now approach brokers loaded with data from a variety of listing sources and are much more educated about what they want in a home and community. Brokers have new tools to help clients pinpoint just the right home, or help sellers market their properties to just the right potential buyers. Amanda Zick is a broker with Compass in Winnetka, and she says that while consumers have direct access to more data, that doesn’t mean many of the traditional rules that drive the relationship between brokers and clients don’t apply. “Consumers have more information at their fingertips than ever before, and I find that most of my clients have done a lot of housing research on the web,” Zick says. “However, as This home at 113 Woodley Road in Winnetka was recently listed by Jena Radnay of @ amazing as AI is, it cannot supplant human properties. It features 10,000 square feet of living space with an elevator servicing all knowledge and insight.” four floors.

Zick says that as an agent she understands how to analyze the market and a home with a deeper understanding of what gives a home its value, she’s able to advise her clients with her knowledge of the market and trends, quality of construction or finishes, and how best to negotiate on their behalf. Also, as a local agent, she can share her knowledge of the local communities, including schools, neighborhoods, and businesses. “Some feel that all of the advances in technology eliminate the need for a personal approach,” she says. “However, quite the opposite is true. AI is amazing, but human communication is more critical now than ever to help clients navigate and understand all of the information coming at them.” Compass provides a technology platform through which Zick can create individually tailored collections of listings for buyers and sellers and digital Comparative Market Analysis (CMAs) that allows her clients to compare rooms and finishes. She also uses digital ads on Google, Facebook, and Instagram and customized videos for clients and potential buyers, “Technology doesn’t make a broker great, but a broker can’t be great without technology," Zick says. “So, I use the best technology platform there is to help my clients succeed and that gives me time back to spend with my clients or working on their behalf.” Louise Eichelberger of @properties in Continued on PG 10

or from out of state, we’re able to make a decision on a home much quicker.” Fitzpatrick remains cognizant of the tendency to rely too much on technology and find the right balance to create the best experience for her clients. “I think there's a fine line between using technology effectively and also maintaining a strong client relationship,” she says. “I don't think we can rely on technology to replace us. Nothing will beat a phone call or a face-to-face meeting,” Winnetka @properties broker Chris Veech recalls the good old days when technology was just starting get a foothold in the real estate business. It was occasionally awkward. “In 1991 when I started in real estate, car phones were popular for realtors and I got one of the first purse sized portable cell phones and it was fabulous,” Veech says. “But back then if your phone rang in the grocery store everyone stopped and stared at you like you were crazy.” While she was an early adapter, Veech says there are still pros and cons to new technology and brokers need to understand one from the other. “Realtors used to be the only way to find out about homes and we were entrusted with pairing people with homes they would love—we were the matchmakers,” she says. “Now the public can “swipe” like dating apps for homes. There are pros and cons to this as some folks are good at selecting homes they might like, and others are pretty terrible at it.” Veech says there is a world of difference

between walking through a home and looking at it online, and that photos can sometime over deliver or under deliver on the essence of the house. Buyers don’t usually understand this and can swipe past homes they might actually love. “There’s an old real estate saying that ‘buyers are liars,’ meaning a buyer will tell their agent what they are looking for in a home, but later walk into a place and fall in love, and it’s nothing like the home they described wanting,” Veech says. “Heart strings come into play and details that feel familiar and beloved to them can draw them magiLaura Fitzpatrick of @properties listed this home, currently under contract, at 916 Chestnut Avenue in Wilmette.

SLEEP OUT CHICAGO AREA BUSINESS LEADERS RALLY SUPPORT FOR COVENANT HOUSE’S ALL-NIGHT EVENT TO HELP RAISE AWARENESS ABOUT YOUTH FACING HOMELESSNESS. BY JUDITH R. BAUMANN THE NORTH SHORE WEEKEND

On November 18, hundreds of people throughout the Chicago area will give up their beds for one night to ensure that youth facing homelessness can sleep safely at Covenant House Illinois (CHIL), a mission-led Chicago nonprofit. The “Sleep Out” is a way for people to demonstrate their empathy and commitment to youth (ages 18–24) who do not have shelter or a bed of their own. It’s also an important fundraiser to enable Covenant House Illinois to continue its service and mission of providing young people a path out of homelessness. “Sleep Out is a unique and powerful experience for caring folks to come together and stand in solidarity with our city’s young people struggling with the devastation of homelessness,” says CHIL Executive Director, Susan Reyna-Guerrero. “Participation in Sleep Out helps amplify the voices of our youth and represents another step forward in CHIL’s fight to eradicate youth homelessness. Our supporters are the lifeblood of this organization, and we cannot win this fight without them.” Among those sleeping out will be James Coleman, Accenture’s Senior Managing Director for its Chicago office. Jim and his wife, Cari, are serving as inaugural chairs for CHIL’s 2021 Sleep Out: Chicago, which aims to enlist approximately 250 sleepers and raise $500,000. Coleman, a veteran Sleep Out participant and fierce advocate for the cause, is looking to exceed that amount by generating support within Chicago’s corporate community to directly benefit CHIL. The need is great and growing. In the city of Chicago alone, approximately 2,000 youth face homelessness on any given night. CHIL is open 24/7 for young people in need of safe shelter, warm meals, educational opportunities, job training, medical services, mental health and substance use counseling, legal aid, and more. Because of CHIL’s breadth of services, donations large or small go a long way toward making a difference in the lives of young people facing homelessness. For example, just $30 provides two new personal hygiene kits and toiletries; $50 means three nutritious meals for a resident every day for one week. A $100 donation affords essential 24-hour care for a youth in crisis for one day, while $1,000 provides workforce training, so a young person facing homelessness can apply for and secure a job. “By sleeping outside for just one night,” Coleman says, “our Chicago-area community can help Covenant House Illinois provide

more young people in need with their own safe night’s sleep—something so many of us take for granted—along with the resources they can use to build a brighter future.” “We know that each young person who walks through Covenant House doors is capable of great things,” he adds. “That’s why we are so passionate about empowering them to feel hope and helping them find a path to overcoming homelessness. We do this by strengthening their resilience through relentless support and respect.” Covenant House Illinois has attracted the support of leaders throughout Chicago and the North Shore, given its mission and the overwhelming need for its services. Nancy Kearney, CHIL Board Member and Founder/Owner of Kearney Consulting LLC says, “After moving to Chicago in late 2018, I was dismayed by the number of not just homeless, but young homeless people. I brought clothing to some, took others to get something to eat, and once even traipsed around with a young woman to four Metra card machines to purchase her a ticket so she could ride and sleep on the train. Speaking with these young people, I learned some of their stories, and as heartbreaking as they were I was also struck by how avoidable all of this seemed.” “I was working for Allstate at the time, a

company with a particularly strong philanthropic ethic and a commitment to active support and authentic engagement,” she continues. “Through the Allstate Foundation, I learned about the mission and work of Covenant House and that a recently opened Illinois site was recruiting Board members. The rest is history.” Prior to leaving Allstate, Kearney also orchestrated a donation of furniture and equipment for CHIL’s new facility on Chicago's west side. Working with her Allstate colleagues Brandi Landreth and Russ Snyder, Kearney was able to procure office and lounge furniture to almost completely outfit CHIL’s expanded space. “Nancy’s work in securing CHIL this donation is greatly appreciated and is wholly indicative of her deep commitment to the organization and the young people we serve,” said Susan Reyna-Guerrero. Kearney is excited about the prospect of Sleeping Out and for the opportunity to raise critical funds to help CHIL execute its mission and reach even more young people struggling with the devastation of homelessness. "In joining the Sleep Out, she explains, “people from all walks of life can become part of this community to provide shelter and security so these young people can look to the promise of a better tomorrow. Let’s

stand together in the fight to end homelessness.” The 2021 Sleep Out is open to anyone and offers people the option to participate in-person at Covenant House Illinois headquarters, 2934 W. Lake Street, Chicago, or virtually by sleeping out at home, with neighborhood friends, or anywhere outside the comfort of their own bed. Since opening its doors in February 2017, Covenant House Illinois has provided support and services to more than 1,100 youth, including over 13,400 nights of shelter and safety, and an average drop-in rate of 20–25 visits each day. To expand its capabilities for helping more young people in need, Covenant House Illinois recently moved into a new facility that offers additional space and increased support services in Chicago’s Garfield Park area. Covenant House Illinois is affiliated with Covenant House, an international organization with facilities in 31 cities across six countries. Since its founding in 1972, Covenant House has provided housing and support services to more than 1,000,000 boys and girls and continues to serve more than 50,000 young people in need every year.

VERY BEST CHICKEN SOUP BY MONICA KASS ROGERS THE NORTH SHORE WEEKEND

Chicken soup is good for the soul, yes—but it’s also so nourishing for the body. There are dozens of versions out there—with noodles, rice, dumplings, and more. But this one, with barley and vegetables, is my healthy best. To preserve texture, preventing the vegetables from getting too soft and the chicken too hard, I cook the chicken meat, carrot, and celery separately from the simmering stock, stirring it in about 10 minutes before serving.

PHOTOGRAPHY BY MONICA KASS ROGERS

INGREDIENTS • 2 large bone-in chicken breasts • 2 cups water • 4 cups homemade or good store-bought low-sodium chicken stock • 2 small onions, divided (one onion whole for the stock; one chopped to make 1 cup small dice) • 4 ribs celery, divided

METHOD • 3 carrots, divided (one cut into chunks for the stock; 2 cut into rounds to add later) • Bay leaf • 4 pepper corns • 1 Tbsp olive oil • 2 cups fresh spinach leaves, chopped, stems discarded • 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves

(one rib cut in large pieces for the stock;

• 1 tsp fresh rosemary leaves

three ribs diced to add later)

• ½ cup barley

| SATURDAY NOVEMBER 6 | SUNDAY NOVEMBER 7 2021

Cut the meat from the chicken breasts into small pieces. Set aside. Place chicken bones with water and four cups chicken stock into stock pot over low heat. Add 1 whole peeled onion, 1 rib celery cut in large piece, 1 carrot cut into chunks, bay leaf, and four whole peppercorns to the pot. Simmer, partially covered, over low heat for 2-1/2 hours. Add barley and continue simmering until barley is tender. In a sauté pan over medium heat, add olive oil and chicken breast meat. Cook until chicken no longer shows any pink. Add chicken and juices to soup pot. In sauté pan over medium-low heat, add 1 cup diced onion, dice from three ribs of celery, and rounds from two sliced carrots. Ladle ½ cup of the simmering stock into the sauté pan with the vegetables. Cook until firmtender and not mushy. Add to the soup. Stir chopped spinach leaves, thyme, and rosemary into the soup pot. Simmer all for 10 more minutes. Serve hot. THE NORTH SHORE WEEKEND

TRIDENT AND TRUE FORMER NAVY SEAL SHANE ANDERSON IS STILL ADHERING TO THE SPECIAL OPERATIONS FORCE’S ETHOS. BY BILL MCLEAN ILLUSTRATION BY BARRY BLITT

Go ahead, thank former Navy SEAL Shane M Anderson for his service to the country. But don’t expect a simple ‘thank you’ in return. The 43-year-old father of three and 13year veteran, who completed tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan and the Philippines, will shoot you a quick, genuine, seven-word reply:“Thank you for being a Great American.” Since 2013, Anderson has been training and mentoring future sailors at Naval Talent and Acquisition Group Chicago in Great Lakes. Great Lakes is the home of the United States Navy’s only boot camp, located near North Chicago in Lake County and where Anderson—a former professional skateboarder wannabe from Wisconsin and one time 3D graphics firm employee in Indiana—found himself a couple of years after the September 11 attacks in the 2001. “I was working out, on a treadmill, when I looked up at a television in the gym just in time to see the second plane hit the World Trade Center,” Anderson recalls. “I remember thinking, ‘We’re at war.’ People were being attacked for being Americans and for believing in the American way of life.” This Veterans Day, Anderson—who lives near Sheboygan, Wisconsin— will do what he does every November 11: work out. But it will go beyond time on a treadmill. Well beyond. “It’ll be brutal; it’ll make me gasp,” Anderson says. “I do the heavy workout every Memorial Day, too. And I’ll do it early, in the dark, away from everybody. It’s my way to pay homage to all those in the military who gave up their Easter’s and their Christmases and their time with family to be where United States forces needed to be. I can’t tell you how many times I heard, in places all over the world, ‘Thank God, the Americans are here.’ “What I’ve always believed is that we’re all one race—the human race.” Anderson’s early life was one, in several ways, that epitomized the spirit of the “fail forward” way, or, to purposely and deliberately use failure to find success. A taekwondo and video games adherent, he dropped out of Cedar Grove-Belgium High School in Cedar Grove, Wisconsin, after his junior year. A friend of his father Darwin got Shane a

job in a factory. That meant the teen had to set his alarm at a time that started with “4” and ended in “a.m.” Anderson worked for a spell at the factory and came to a realization in no time. “That I don’t want to do this,” he says. Anderson eventually received his High School Equivalency Diploma and enrolled at ITT Technical Institute in Milwaukee, col-

It’s my way to pay homage to all those in the military who gave up their Easters and their Christmases and their time with family to be where United States forces needed to be. I can’t tell you how many times I heard, in places all over the world, ‘Thank God, the Americans are here.’

lecting an associate degree after two years before earning a bachelor’s degree at ITTTechnical Institute—Indianapolis Campus. “Got straight As, because that’s what I needed to get in order for my dad to pay for my rent in Indianapolis,” Anderson says. “My dad (who died at age 50, in 2002) was a great man, full of unrelenting love. He was tough, but always on my side, a man who reminded me how important it was to invest in myself.” One of the most impactful conversations Anderson had with his father was the one they had after 9/11. Son called father and uttered, “We need to do something to stop terrorism.” Darwin replied, “Don’t you mean that military folks have to do something? You want them to do your work, don’t you? “Son,” Darwin continued, “are you the man you want to be now?” His answer, a nanosecond later: “No.” Anderson’s aim before the phone call was to be the best video

game designer he could be. That changed, abruptly. Enemies had attacked free people. Darwin, a former Nuclear Navy machinist mate sub service, told Shane that war is hell and encouraged him to take a look at the history of wars. Every bit of it. “I told my dad, ‘I want to train and become a Navy SEAL,’” he recounts. The father heard the earnestness in his son’s voice and concluded the conversation with an order: “Don’t you ever tell your mother (Rhonda) that we had this conversation.” Shane Anderson fell short of completing his BUD/s class at Naval Special Warfare Center Coronado, but he got orders to the Mobile Communications Team 1 and deployed in Iraq in 2004 as a radio operator and worked closely with the SEAL team, for nearly nine months. “That’s when I knew I wanted to achieve TG (Team Guy) status,” Anderson says. “The world depends on U.S. When the U.S. shows up everybody there knows that everything will turn out OK.” Anderson completed his second attempt at BUD/s training, in 2006, and later aced enough courses to become a medic, a communications specialist, a sniper, a canine handler, and a Joint Terminal Attack Controller ( JTAC). “I wanted to be an asset to our team in as many ways as possible,” says Anderson, who almost died in 2010, in Iraq, after the RG33 armored vehicle in which he was riding flipped, with the incident causing a serious head injury. “I want to make sure that I earn my Trident every day.” “My Trident,” a part of the official Navy SEAL creed states, “is a symbol of honor and heritage. Bestowed upon me by the heroes that have gone before, it embodies the trust of those I have sworn to protect. By wearing the Trident (a golden eagle with an anchor, a flintlock style pistol, and a trident in its talons) I accept the responsibility of my chosen profession and way of life. It is a privilege I must earn every day.” Anderson met his future wife, Abigail, for the first time when they were seventh graders. She was shy; he was “rowdy,” he says. They have three children: Syrus Christian, 14; Lilly Faith, 12; and Oliver Darwin, 7. “Fatherhood, by far, is the greatest ‘job’, the most amazing job, I’ve ever had,” says Anderson, who co-owns the Sheboygan Falls-based carbon fiber manufacturer, Brothers Composites, and is thinking seriously, after his Naval Station Great Lakes days, of launching a coaching/mentoring venture (for kids, teen, and adults) and naming it Legacy. “Unlocking people’s potential is my vision. Creating a meaningful life for myself and others is my purpose. Being a good dad … that is my greatest desire, it is the best version of me. It is why I do what I do.” THE NORTH SHORE WEEKEND
