Chicago Seller FAQ
Is Chicago a market you actively buy in?
It is. We review Chicago apartment buildings of five or more units, with particular attention to Rogers Park, Humboldt Park, Chatham, and Berwyn.
What drives rental demand in Chicago?
Demand in Chicago is supported by one of the largest and most diversified economies in the U.S., major universities, hospitals, and corporate headquarters, and an extensive transit network and a large renter population. We weigh those fundamentals, along with the condition and rent roll of each building, when we set a price.
Do I need to fix up my Chicago building before selling?
No. We price in deferred maintenance, vacancy, and below-market rents ourselves, so you can sell the property as it stands.
How does a sale to you work in Cook County?
Send the address, unit count, and any financials. We give feedback, then a written letter of intent if it fits, followed by diligence and a closing date that works for you.
What should Illinois sellers know about property taxes?
Illinois has some of the highest effective property tax rates in the country, and Cook County reassesses on a triennial cycle. We review your assessment history and likely post-sale taxes.
