Apartment Leasing Simplified
We manage marketing, leasing & renewals to maximize rent and mitigate concessions.
Our Approach
We help real estate investors maximize each investment property’s revenue by managing lease expirations and renewals, mitigating concessions, and achieving competitive market rents. We know the Chicagoland area and how to market to today’s residents. Units we lease do not sit on the market.
Why Work With Us?
We set up real estate investors for success by filling units with qualified residents in a timely manner.
Expert Consultation First
We take the time to learn about your properties and business and provide complimentary expert advice and consultation ahead of a signed agreement. Our goal is to make lasting relationships.
We don’t have to manage your property to lease it
Even if we are not your property manager, we are ready to take over your leasing and renewal efforts as a third-party leasing consultant.
We have skin in the game
We share more investment dollars in marketing, advertising, and infrastructure than almost any other company out there.
Why do real estate investors come back?
Positive results! We stop at nothing to make sure the job gets done right.
Examples of Success
400 N. LaSalle
An investment firm hired us to take over a fractured condo deal where they owned 105 units out of 400 units in a large downtown high-rise in River North. When we took over in 2014 from a prominent Chicago management firm, there were many vacancies, some delinquent rents, and neglected maintenance issues. Since then, we’ve shrunk annual vacancy to <1% and increased rents by over 30%. We’ve been instrumental in the group’s ability to maneuver between leasing and selling off individual condo units. We credit this to proactive communication and a collaborative approach with the client.
Exclusive Leasing for Mid-Sized Investment Firm
In 2018, a mid-sized apartment investment firm hired us to lease up and stabilize six apartment buildings totaling over 150 units. When we assumed duties, there were a significant number of vacancies needing to be filled at top market rates. As of today, we’re still their exclusive apartment marketing firm, and we continue to work closely with ownership on overall strategy, market positioning, and pricing.
Albany Park Leasing Assignment for Local Rehabber
A local apartment investor/rehabber hired us to stabilize four buildings totaling more than 25 units. When we assumed the assignment, our client relied on us for guidance on pricing, marketing, and stabilizing what was – at that time – an unstable portfolio. We were able to lease up all units at the target price point, with minimal market time. We now lease and manage all of this owner’s properties exclusively.
New Construction Lease Up in Lincoln Park
At the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, we were tasked with leasing six new construction 3-bed, 2-bath apartments in the heart of Lincoln Park at top dollar. We leased all six at the target price in a month. Today, we lease and manage this client’s portfolio ranging from Forest Park, Andersonville, Gold Coast to Lincoln Park.
