Since 1983 Root Realty has been a Chicago property management and
real estate sales company. As their reputation for exceptional service spread they became the ideal
real estate company to serve the Wealth Management Divisions of Chicago's leading financial institutions. Serving as a property manager and
real estate broker for a variety of guardianship situations Root Realty became a trusted Chicago
real estate company that could handle multi-family and commercial property management, as well as
real estate brokerage.
When real estate sales began to stall and values dropped, many of Root Realty's institutional clients ended up having mortgages go into default. Because of the reputation for quality Chicago property management and real estate brokerage Root Realty had established, many of Chicago's lenders contacted Root Realty to inquire as to whether they would be able to assist with their distressed assets. At first Root Realty was contracted to manage and sell bank owned or REO property.
