How we work with investors

Yes. We handle investment property across Chicagoland, including off-market developments and multifamily buildings that never hit the public listings. Off-market means a property is available for sale but is not posted on the MLS or the public portals, so it is only seen by a private network of agents and buyers. These deals reward relationships and speed. Our team underwrites every one on the numbers, meaning rent rolls, cap rates, financing, and downside, and gives you an honest read rather than a pitch. If you are building a portfolio, this is where a lot of the real opportunity is.

Erik Gimbel, who leads the team, is a licensed broker and a CPA with an MBA, and he was previously the CFO and COO of the largest pickup-and-delivery dry cleaning company in Chicagoland. That financial background changes how a deal gets read. A property is looked at the way an investor would look at it: valuation, financing, tax impact, holding cost, and downside, before the square footage and the finishes. You get the numbers straight and you decide with real information. On the sell side it means pricing backed by data and negotiation aimed at your bottom line. On the buy side it means a clear picture of what a home actually costs to own over time.

Yes. Multifamily and small apartment buildings are a core part of our investment work across Chicagoland, from two to four unit buildings up to larger developments. We underwrite them the way an owner should: rent roll, operating expenses, cap rate, financing, and the downside if a unit sits empty or rates move. Whether you are buying your first two-flat or adding to a portfolio, you get an honest analysis of what the building actually produces rather than a broker's optimistic pro forma.
