Groupon, along with other group coupon companies, offers its customers “daily deals” that allow them purchase coupons for restaurants, clothing stores, spas, and service companies at a drastically reduced rate. But those coupons are only available for purchase if they are bought en-masse, and so the companies who advertise them are thereby able to ensure that they’ll receive a reasonable amount of business. They’re also only available for one day at a time, to see to it that those same companies aren’t inundated with too many customers at once.

Recently, real estate companies have begun to show an interest in this idea of collective buying power, and they’ve create daily deal companies of their own—companies that have been changing the notion of a group coupon to better suit the needs of the real estate market.

One such daily deal company is HouseTipper.

The co-founder of HouseTipper, Tigue Bonneval, explains how his site is different than other group coupon sites by noting that “In real estate, the deals are often offered for three to seven days rather than for just one day, because these are not usually impulse buys. This gives customers time to see the deal, make an inquiry with the real estate agent and decide if they want to make the purchase.”

Bonneval also notes that “Real estate agents don’t pay us anything because HouseTipper gets paid when the consumer buys a deal. There’s a preapproved commission that goes to the merchant and fluctuates according to the deal.”

So far HouseTipper has been tremendously successful, and Bonneval hopes that its success will only continue grow in future months and years.

Priced between $499k for a 1 bedroom unit and $2.5M for a 3 bedroom penthouse, this is the sweet spot for properties that sell: luxury urban condos. The result of hitting a home run with home buyers is that Gold Coast is now one of the hottest markets in the nation.

10 East Delaware has three things going for it: LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION. The building is located on the corner of Delaware and State in the heart of Chicago’s Gold Coast neighborhood and steps to the city’s best restaurants & shopping. The beach, or your office in downtown Chicago, are just minutes from your doorstep.

Actually, there’s a lot more to it than location that make the building such a successful new construction development. Designed by world-famous architect Lucien Lagrange, 10 East Delaware boasts a classic European architecture, private services, luxury amenities, and the interior design that discerning buyers demand. Exquisite gourmet kitchens, luxury master suites, and a large private balcony grace each and every unit.

Its been a long time since such a fabulous new construction building, combing both timeless architecture and a luxurious interior, has graced the Gold Coast skyline.

Groupon also announced that this IPO will likely be worth about $30 bullion. And, if that estimate is correct—as most financial experts believe it to be—then Groupon’s three co-founders and major shareholders will soon become some of the richest men in Chicago.

The first of these co-founders, Groupon chairman Eric Lefkofsky’s stock would be worth roughly $6.48 billion immediately after the IPO, and he would become the richest man in Chicago. Groupon founder and CEO Andrew Mason’s stock would be worth $2.31 billion. And Groupon co-founder Brad Keywell’s stock would be worth $2.07 billion.

This means that these three men could quickly become richer than any Wrigley, Pritzker or Crown still living in Chicago. They’d be richer than Oprah, too. And it remains to be seen what, exactly, they’d do with all that money.

Many financial experts seem to think that, as young, tech savvy professionals, they would invest the money in new, exciting tech ventures.

And many real estate experts believe that they would choose to invest at least some portion of their considerable income in real estate. They believe, specifically, that these young entrepreneurs will begin to buy up property in and around the Chicago area.

Many people also believe that these three men would donate a large portion of their incoming income to charities and non-profits. This belief seems particularly likely, as the co-founders have long had a history of charitable giving.

As of now, it’s impossible to know what Lefkofsky, Mason, and Keywell will do with their windfall income. Chicagoans can only hope that they will continue to invest their capital in Chicago, and that they will continue to donate some of their income to Chicago charities and non-profits.
