Featured Charity: Pacific Garden Mission

 Featured Charity:  The Pacific Garden Mission - 1458 South Canal Street

Located in the Pilsen neighborhood at 1458 South Canal Street, the Pacific Garden Mission has been an institution in Chicago, helping serve the city's homeless for decades. Since its establishment in 1871, the Pacific Garden Mission has given the unfortunate a message of Christian hope and a warm bed. The Pilsen building is actually the Mission's fourth location; it was first established on South State Street by Colonel Clark and his wife, converting an old beer garden to what many would call “the doorway to heaven” and “God's Flophouse”. The Pacific Garden Mission's combination of evangelicalism and assistance proved to be a popular idea, as many missions emulating its ethos and methods popped up across the United States and Great Britain throughout the 1940s.

First of all Maria, thank you for taking the time to chat with us.  What got you into the world of real estate?

I was in the mortgage industry since 1997, I helped people mortgage their homes and refinance. In 2007 I figured I could help people in real estate too. Of course in 2008, the mortgage and real estate industries tanked and from there I got into helping people more with short sales and foreclosures. I was simply just trying to help people get out of the bind the were in; such as being unable to refinance their loans, their mortgages were underwater, and so on.
