<\/a> Dennis Rodkin<\/p><\/div>\n

Dennis Rodkin, who stepped down last fall after more than two decades as Chicago\u2019s premier residential real estate reporter, soon will be back on the beat for Crain\u2019s Chicago Business.<\/a><\/p>\n

Rodkin, 53, said Wednesday he\u2019s moving back to Chicago after six months in Monterey, California, where he\u2019d relocated to run a plant nursery with his brother.\u00a0\u201cThat didn\u2019t work out,\u201d he said of the venture. \u201cLet me put it this way: Everybody says not to work with family and I found out that you shouldn\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n

Starting in mid-March, Rodkin will pick up where he left off last September, reporting on residential real estate for Crain\u2019s Chicago Business. Rodkin initially joined the weekly publication and website in early 2014 from Chicago magazine,<\/a> where he\u2019d been covering the high-end housing market since 1991.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have so many ties in Chicago,\u201d Rodkin said. \u201cI have 30 years of reporting in Chicago \u2014 over 23 of them on real estate. When this didn\u2019t work out [in California], it only made sense to try to come back. I love the city, I love the people, I love everybody at Crain\u2019s, I love covering real estate. I\u2019m very lucky and very grateful that they were willing to welcome me back.\"<\/p>\n

Michael Arndt, editor of Crain's Chicago Business, called Rodkin \u201cthe most connected guy in residential real estate,\u201d adding: \u201cHe really lit up our coverage when we did have him last year. I was really happy when we were able to lure him here then. And I\u2019m heartened that we could welcome him back, and that Dennis wanted to come back to us now.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
