Jeff Steele Former Contributor

Jeff Steele launched his freelance writing career in 1989 and has since produced more than 5,000 bylined articles for a wide array of traditional and web-based publications. He began covering real estate in 1991 with an article on the renovation of Chicago’s illustrious Union Station for the Chicago Tribune‘s Real Estate section.
