Testimonials
Eric Bell knows his markets and product. We hired him to sell a large asset in the south suburbs of Chicago that we tried to sell multiple times with different brokerage firms. He understood the challenges and attributes. His opinion of value was right on. He found the right buyer with multiple back up offers and got it closed without price adjustments and in a timely fashion.

Eric and Jordan have represented us when we’ve decided to sell and he’s brought us properties, when representing other investors, which we’ve purchased. Eric’s analysis of value and transaction timing mirrors our own, thus enhancing the collective thinking of both investor and broker. He’s got a great team that works seamlessly together to drive the best possible result. We trust him implicitly.

Over the past 15 years I have had the pleasure of doing business with Eric and Jordan. During that period I have had the opportunity to have the team provide brokerage services with three different financial institutions. The team's professionalism, hard work and character has distinguished him as one of the best in the industry. He is a trusted advisor and I often recommend him to companies and individuals.

Eric and Jordan did a great job facilitating and making sure there was constant communication and information flowing between buyer and seller. Both transactions rank high in terms of most smooth transactions from start to finish. The whole team is always easily accessible with very timely responses.

Testimonials
I worked with Eric and Jordan on the sale of a portfolio for one of our estates. They brought us buyers who presented very good prices and were able to close in a reasonable time. They have proven to be professional, courteous and quite knowledgeable in the multi-unit real estate market. The've been useful in directing me to brokers within Marcus & Millichap if an asset was outside their market or product type.

Testimonials
Eric, Jordan & their team represented us in buying a large asset with a complex loan assumption. With their help, we were able to secure a loan with their bank referral and with consistent and timely responses. The team took the extra step in punctually attending over 25 lender meetings with us and followed up on requested to-do items. I highly recommend them and look forward to working with them on future deals.
