After the National Association of Realtors announced 2014 vacation home sales were up 57 percent from 2013, we knew a story about the costs of owning a vacation home would be perfect for the Chicago Tribune. The fact that we had an excellent source in Taylor Johnson client Heritage Harbor Ottawa, a waterfront marina resort community just 90 minutes southwest of Chicago in Ottawa, Illinois, certainly helped. The story ran this past Sunday on the cover of the Tribune's Real Estate section and Heritage Harbor saw an immediate spike in website leads and property tours. And don't miss this excellent video tour of Heritage Harbor.
