Why Essex Three Twelve?
Since 1990, Essex Realty Group, LLC. has sold thousands of multi-family properties throughout Chicago. One of the critical lessons from this experience is that there is a tremendous void in the service to investors who own 3-12 unit apartment buildings. Historically, investors in this market have relied on residential brokers with limited experience in multi-family transactions or on multi-family brokers for whom this size investment is not their primary focus.
Essex 312 is Chicago’s first multi-family brokerage company focusing exclusively on servicing investors in the 3-to-12-unit market. Essex 312 brokers are highly trained, exceptionally focused, and extremely motivated. Whether you are a seasoned investor or brand new to the multi-family world, our team can provide the tailored service and market insights needed to help you achieve your real estate goals.
Meet Our Team
United by a shared passion for multi-family real estate, our brokerage team is dedicated to serving 3-12 building owners and investors and delivering uniquely exceptional results.
