Marketing
Let us manage your Chicago Rental Property
Our goal is to market your property to all potential tenants currently in the market looking for a property to lease. Our objective is to obtain qualified applicants in the shortest amount of time and to receive the highest amount of rental income the market will bear. This means our marketing must be so good that it reaches and attracts anyone looking in that area and in that price range on a daily basis.

Feedback on every showing
Feedback on every showing is collected from other Brokers and from actual potential applicants and is shared as a means of determining future marketing strategies. -
Market activity, property condition, and pricing is reviewed twice per week
Market activity, property condition, and pricing is reviewed twice per week to ensure the market is being monitored and that no adjustments are needed in order for us to procure a quality tenant. -
FOLLOW-UP MARKETING
Once a potential tenant signs up for a showing or to receive future availabilities they will then get a notice/alert for any property that is new to market, removed from market, or has a price correction. This allows our list of available properties to continue to be placed in front of the rental market on an ongoing basis.

Responsive
Property
Manager™
Answering resident calls and responding to owner emails timely is what is going to set this team apart from all of our competitors - it’s our mission to be the most responsive property management company.
No Fees

Vacancy
Many property management companies will charge you a management fee during vacancy. We don’t believe that is fair. We think we should only get paid if we are delivering a valuable service.
