The Scout Difference

Chicago real estate = relationships. It’s personal, not transactional.

Our knowledge of the Chicago real estate market is derived from over 20 years of experience working with developers, investors, and homeowners throughout the city. We’ve worked in neighborhoods before they were on the map - West Loop, Bucktown, Wicker Park, Lakeview, and West Town, to name a few. We are also West Suburban real estate experts.

An Advocate In Your Corner

“Honesty and integrity paired with practical advice empowers our clients to make the decisions that are right for them.”

We turn complex transactional issues into easy to digest, no nonsense answers to strengthen our clients’ knowledge base to make informed decisions. Terms such as nonwarrantable financing, capitalization rate, and modified gross are all in our wheelhouse. Experience matters most.

Multi-Family & Mixed-Use Investments

Chicago needs housing, but not all investments are created equal. We combine investment analysis and modeling with value-add capitalization analysis and practical owner and operator considerations to pair our clients with investments to achieve their goals. Our experience helps investors avoid common pitfalls while also finding value in overlooked opportunities.

Brick and mortar makes our city vibrant.

Let us help you get started on your retail journey and provide the best path to a long-term, successful endeavor.

Practice Area 03

Industrial and Office Spaces

Small to medium size businesses have very unique needs when it comes to their place of business. We partner with local businesses to understand exactly what they do and how they operate, and create custom-tailored solutions that incorporate space planning, growth forecasts, and capital availability to maximize business operations.
