What Chicago Apartment Owners Say About Working With Randy Taylor
I have been a real estate investor for 30 years. I bought and sold numerous complexes. After 30 years of experience, Randy Taylor is the best broker I have ever met.
I have worked with Randy for a number of years and can say without hesitation that he is a dedicated professional with strong analytical skills.
Excellent service. Randy was very knowledgeable and helpful in my transaction. I made several efforts to sell my commercial unit that were unsuccessful until Randy came into the picture. He marketed the unit so well and did a phenomenal job from start to finish. I would very highly recommend it.

Focus on measurable improvements—unit upgrades, rent optimization, reducing expenses, and improving curb appeal. Small capital improvements often deliver strong ROI. We can provide guidance on upgrades that drive buyer demand and higher pricing in Chicago’s multifamily market.
Cap rates vary by submarket and property class. Core Chicago assets often trade between 5–6%, while suburban assets range 6–7.5%. Factors such as unit mix, condition, and financing availability affect the rate. We track live market data to benchmark accurate investor expectations.
Typical marketing timelines run 60–120 days depending on pricing, tenant stability, and deal size. Institutional buyers move faster with financing in place. We handle full marketing and negotiations to shorten the process and maximize proceeds.
Active sale periods are spring through early fall when investor activity peaks. However, serious buyers transact year-round. With proper positioning and pricing, Chicago-area multifamily listings perform consistently regardless of season.
A 1031 exchange allows owners to defer capital gains taxes by reinvesting proceeds into another investment property. Timing and identification rules are strict—45 days to identify, 180 to close. We coordinate with exchange intermediaries to align sale and purchase timelines.
Gather leases, rent rolls, expense records, and maintenance logs. Resolve deferred repairs and ensure compliance with Chicago and Cook County codes. Organized financials and clean operations help attract competitive offers quickly.
