Your building.
Our to-do list.
Whether it's the condo you couldn't bring yourself to sell or a six-flat in Logan Square, we run it like we own it — leasing, maintenance, accounting and Chicago compliance, start to finish.
Chicago owners,
every kind.
Most of our owners did not set out to run a rental business. They inherited a two-flat, moved in with a partner, took a job in another state, or bought one place and discovered that managing it eats every weekend.
We take the whole operation off your plate — and unlike a national franchise reading from a script, we manage in Chicago and the surrounding suburbs only. We know which blocks rent in a weekend, which ones need staging, and which alderman's ward is about to make your life complicated.
Get a rent analysis →You moved for work, family or a bigger place and kept the old one. We turn it into a performing asset instead of a second job.
One unit, managed with the rigor of a portfolio — screened tenants, HOA rules respected, rent in your account on schedule.
Chicago's classic housing stock. We handle staggered leases, shared systems and clean per-unit accounting.
You never need to be in the city. Digital statements, ACH deposits and eyes on the building year round.
If your last manager stopped answering the phone, we handle the transition — records, deposits and tenant introductions.
Pricing, screening standards, lease terms and legal notices explained in plain English before you sign anything.
Everything, actually.
All services →Professional photos, syndication to every major rental site, showings run by our team, and pricing set from live Chicago comps.
Credit, income, employment, rental history and references — applied consistently and in line with fair housing law.
Online payments, automatic late notices, monthly ACH deposits, itemized statements and year-end tax documents.
24/7/365 emergency response backed by a vetted network of Chicago trades who know century-old buildings.
Move-in, move-out and periodic inspections documented with photos, plus full turn management between tenancies.
Disclosures, deposit handling, renewals and notice periods tracked and served on time, every time.
The ordinance is
the easy part.
Chicago is one of the most tenant-protective rental markets in the country, and the rules move. A mishandled deposit or a mistimed notice can cost multiples of the rent — staying current is our job, not yours.
Chicago's Residential Landlord and Tenant Ordinance governs most rentals in the city. The required summary goes out with every lease we write.
Held separately, disclosed correctly, and returned with the interest rate the City sets each year — itemized and on schedule.
Chicago's Fair Notice Ordinance scales non-renewal and termination notice with tenancy length — 30, 60 or 120 days. We calendar every one.
Heat season runs September 15 to June 1. We stay ahead of minimum temperatures, detectors and habitability items before the city asks.
Outside the city limits the rulebook changes again — suburban Cook County, Evanston and Oak Park each run their own tenant ordinances. We manage to whichever one your address falls under.
Four steps to
hands-off.
We look at the property and the live comps on your block, then tell you what it should rent for — before you owe us anything.
Management agreement, records and deposit transfer, a full walkthrough, and introductions to any tenants already in place.
If the unit is vacant: photos, listings, showings, screening and a compliant lease signed by a qualified resident.
Rent collected, maintenance dispatched, statements filed, and money in your account by ACH every month.

Questions we
get weekly.
What does property management cost in Chicago?
It depends on the property type, the number of units and the scope you need. We give you a written quote after a free rent analysis, with the management fee, leasing fee and anything else spelled out up front — no surprise markups on maintenance.
Do you manage single condos and single-family homes?
Yes. A large share of what we manage is one unit at a time — condos, single-family homes and townhouses across Chicago and the near suburbs. Small portfolios get the same reporting and response times as large ones.
I live out of state. Can you handle everything?
That is the normal case for many of our owners. Leasing, maintenance, inspections and accounting all run without you, and the owner portal gives you statements, work orders and documents from anywhere.
Can I switch managers in the middle of a lease?
Yes. Existing leases stay in force. We collect the lease files and security deposits from your current manager, introduce ourselves to the residents, inspect the property and pick up from there.
What happens if a tenant stops paying rent?
We move immediately and by the book — notices served in the form and timeline the ordinance requires, payment plans where they make sense, and coordination with an attorney if it goes further. You hear from us at every step.
How long does it take to fill a vacancy in Chicago?
Chicago leasing is seasonal — late spring through early fall moves fastest, and winter vacancies take longer at the same price. We plan renewals and turn dates around that calendar so your unit hits the market when demand is highest.
Statements, work orders and documents — any time.
