I'm looking to sell my 1bdrm condo in the downtown area, so realtor suggestions are appreciated. Also, having never sold a place before, what should my expectations be when trying to negotiate the commission on the sale? Is there any room for negotiation?

I live in an 8 unit condo building and we're considering getting a management company as opposed to continuing to manage the place ourselves. Any suggestions on reliable companies that we should consider? Or any companies we should avoid?

Does anyone know why National Cleaners on the corner of Erie and Pavonia is closing? I heard that they were not renewing their lease, but I don't know if this was due to retirement or if there are some other forces at work trying to get them out of the neighborhood.
