Prominent Real Estate Exec Found Dead In Apparent Suicide



EAST DUNDEE, Ill. (STNG) - The chairman and CEO of a Chicago real estate firm was found dead of an apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound Monday in a car in a northwest suburban wildlife preserve.
 
About 8:20 a.m. Monday, the Kane County Sheriff's Department was notified that there was a man in a red Jaguar in one of the parking lots at the Max McGraw Wildlife Preserve at 14N322 Rt. 25 in unincorporated East Dundee, according to a release from the sheriff's office.

The man was identified as Steven L. Good, 52, of Highland Park, according to the release. Good was chairman and CEO of the Sheldon Good and Co. brokerage. He was found by a maintenance worker seated in the Jaguar with a gunshot wound to the head, the release said.

While the Kane County Coroner's office has not officially identified the victim, Coroner Dr. Charles West said toxicological tests were being conducted on a 52-year-old male and the case "was being handled as a self-inflicted gunshot wound."

No suicide note was found, police said, and it was not known how long Good was at the preserve before he was found.

Good, according to his biography, served as a director of the Chicago, Illinois, and National Associations of Realtors, and has been a member of the Realtors Commercial Alliance Committee. He also served as 121st president of the 16,500-member Chicago Association of Realtors.

Good, the company biography said, has been involved in the sale of more than $4 billion worth of real estate, including commercial, office, retail, industrial, residential, and vacant land sites.

"Mr. Good is the driving force behind the expansion of the company, which has been ranked as the largest firm in the United States exclusively conducting real estate auctions, and was previously ranked as the sixth-largest commercial brokerage
