Ed Schwind grew up with a diverse background coming from a family owned greenhouse business. Ed learned from a young age about construction by helping build the newest sections to his family’s greenhouse business in 1972 by doing everything from laying cement, installing work benches, building storage buildings, operating tractors, and even building a private road. Since the late 1800’s Ed Schwind’s family resided in Evanston, IL and has owned and rehabbed numerous houses throughout his upbringing. Both of Ed’s brothers were in the trades, one as a carpenter and the other as a plumber. While working as Programmer Analyst for Blue Cross Blue Shield Insurance Company, Ed’s professional Investment/Real Estate career began in 1989 as a foreclosure investor. Ed’s desire to be an entrepreneur was preempted by the draw backs of the corporate world. Every day Ed would go to sheriff’s sales/foreclosure auctions at the Daley Center and Inter-County Title for divorce sales. While attending these auctions, Ed quickly realized that they were attended by either a real estate agent, an appraiser, or an attorney. Therefore Mr. Schwind decided to obtain a license as well, and received his Real Estate License in 1991, as well as an appraiser’s license in 1992. Ed remained in the real estate industry from that point forward. In the beginning of his career, Ed bought foreclosures with his father; while his brothers assisted with rehabbing these properties. Ed began his real estate sales career originally with a Century 21 office in Chicago, and quickly became the top producer of a 50 agent office. He was ranked in the top 1% of all agents within the Century 21 System. Ed quickly spearheaded all the new construction projects for Century 21 S.G.R. Inc., and was instrumental with relations between the City of Chicago, Alderman Schulter’s office, and many community groups. In addition to the knowledge of the community, Ed was frequently called by a number of writers from the Chicago Tribune and Booster newspapers for neighborhood real estate information. Ed’s knowledge has been used for numerous articles over the years as an expert on the North Side of Chicago. Mr. Schwind was one of the first agents in the Century 21 system to become a “Mega-Broker”. He had 2 agents as well as 1 assistant working specifically for his personal real estate business. This preempted Ed to open up his own real estate office, Schwind Realty & Development in 2000. Schwind Realty & Development, a boutique office with 15 agents and 4 employees specializing in residential and investment real estate. For 30 years Mr. Schwind has been Traveling to Florida for fun in the Sun. Currently he lives in Florida and is helping Investors/Developer/Buyers/Sellers in making their Investment goals come true. If you’re looking for someone with a wealth of knowledge, Mr. Schwind would be an obvious choice. Ed is a full time agent with CENTURY 21 Beggins Enterprises.
