GC Realty & Development made property management way easier than I ever expected. Their communication is on point — quick, clear, and professional. I never had to chase them down or guess what was going on. They handled everything smoothly, and honestly, it just gave me peace of mind. If you're looking for a team that knows what they're doing and keeps you in the loop, these are your people.
Mark and the GC Realty team have been exceptional as a property management company. They're managing about 8 of my rentals. These ease of doing business with them and their accessibility make them second to none. I've recommended GC to multiple friends who have rental properties.
GCR is very easy to work with and quick to action on any items from me as the owner and/or my tenant. They communicate on both individual owner issues and RE market issues as often as possible. They bring together strong groups of people to meet to address current market issues or to learn from each other. They are education minded for all owners and provide excellent opportunities to partner with GCR or others in the industry.
Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can I expect a response from GCR&D?
We have Trademarked the phrase "Chicago's Responsive Property Manager™" and we take that term seriously. We track our teams' email communications for initial response times. We also monitor the status through completion of any email requests received from both residents and clients (owners). Our owner's handbook, which we will share, states that we will be back to you the same day if you are in touch with us before noon CST, and by the next morning if after noon CST. However, more often than not, it is much quicker than that.
How long has your Chicago Property Management company been in business?
22+ years! GCR&D has been in business since 2003, and consists of 3 partners. Check out this recent article that goes in depth of our company history and what our logo stands for. We incorporated our firm in 2003 as an S-Corp and restructured it in 2006 as an LLC. We started our Property Management division in 2005
What types of property and types of investors does GCR&D manage for in the Chicago area?
We manage Chicago residential properties from single condos to large apartment complexes for private owners. We also manage retail, industrial, and office commercial properties.
How long will it take to lease my Chicago property?
If we price the rental rate to be in tune with what is going on in the local market and the property shows well we can generally rent your home in 3-4 weeks.
How much does a Chicago Property Manager cost?
The management fee will be a percentage of the monthly rent. This will vary based on several factors including the rent price and geography. However, you can usually expect to pay 5-9%. Multi-unit properties or portfolios will be treated on a case by case basis.
