Frequently asked questions
How do we determine the market value of your Chicago apartment building?
We evaluate rental income, operating expenses, location, and comparable sales. Our valuation process analyzes cap rates, rent rolls, T-12 financials, and recent Chicago multifamily transactions to determine true market value. Our complimentary broker opinion of value provides clarity on your building’s current position and upside potential.
How can you increase your property’s value before selling?
We focus on improvements that deliver measurable ROI—unit upgrades, rent optimization, expense reduction, and exterior enhancements. Targeted upgrades often attract stronger buyers and higher pricing. We advise owners on the improvements that have the greatest impact in today’s Chicago multifamily market.
What are the current multifamily cap rates in Chicago?
Cap rates vary by submarket and asset class. Core Chicago neighborhoods often trade in the 5%–6% range, while suburban properties typically fall between 6%–7.5%. Condition, unit mix, and financing availability influence investor expectations. We track live market data to ensure clients receive accurate and current cap rate guidance.
How long does it take to sell an apartment building in Chicago?
Most Chicago-area multifamily properties sell within 60–120 days depending on pricing, tenant stability, property condition, and deal size. Institutional buyers often move faster when financing is secured. We manage full marketing, negotiations, and due diligence to compress timelines and maximize your proceeds.
What is the best time of year to list a multifamily property?
Investor activity is highest from spring through early fall, but strong buyers remain active year-round. Well-positioned and correctly priced assets perform consistently regardless of season. We tailor each launch strategy to current market demand and investor behavior.
How does a 1031 exchange impact your Chicago apartment sale?
A 1031 exchange allows sellers to defer capital gains taxes by reinvesting into another investment property. The rules are strict—45 days to identify replacement properties and 180 days to close. We coordinate with qualified intermediaries to ensure a seamless process aligned with your sale timeline.
How can you prepare your apartment building for sale?
We recommend assembling all leases, rent rolls, expense records, and maintenance logs. Address deferred repairs and confirm compliance with Chicago and Cook County requirements. Clean financials and organized operations help generate stronger offers and a smoother closing.We focus on improvements that deliver measurable ROI—unit upgrades, rent optimization, expense reduction, and exterior enhancements.
