About Edgewater/History of Edgewater:
Edgewater is a neighborhood made up of several sub-areas, such as: Andersonville, Edgewater Glen, and Lakewood-Balmoral. It is the area located in between Uptown and Rogers Park. Edgewater runs along Lake Michigan from Devon Avenue to the north South to Foster Avenue, and bordered on the west by Ravenswood street.
Scandinavian culture, has played a large part in how this area has defined itself. This is evidenced by several shops promoting their customs and cuisine in the neighborhood, many of which can be found on one of its major thoroughfares, Clark Street in Andersonville.
The housing here varies dramatically - from attractive single family homes, to multi-flat (3-6 unit) buildings, to larger courtyard buildings, to the 50+ story buildings running along Sheridan Road on the shores of Lake Michigan.

Closing or Settlement >Real Estate Repairs
In most real estate transactions there are a few responsibilities that the sellers need to handle before the closing, such as repairs and termite extermination. The deadline for completing these obligations usually coincides with the actual closing. Many sellers barely make that deadline. Those who wait until the last minute to handle these matters may miss the deadline altogether or pay high rates in order to get a plumber, roofer or electrician on an emergency basis.
Your buyers will probably get a structural inspection done after the contract is ratified. Within 10 days of the contract's acceptance by all parties, the pest inspection should be scheduled. Even though sellers usually know well in advance what is needed, they sometimes put things off until the buyers have finalized the loan approval process. Since these repairs will have to be made anyway, it is a good idea to get them done promptly.
