Chicago Apartments And Condos

had the greatest experience with them. Beth is amazing and very patient. I highly recommend them to my friends

I would absolutely recommend Chicago Apartments and Condos and will request their services in the furture. My sister and I worked with Owen Bradley about a year ago while searching for an apartment in Chicago. He was very polite, honest and responsive.
We had a limited amount of time to find and sign a lease which was then complicated by the fact that she was living in Wisconsin and I was leaving for Portland for a week during our apartment search. Owen worked around our schedules and kept us updated on any new developments.
We were going to look at two apartments but after he informed us that the second apartment was in disrepair and did not think it was suitable given the cost of rent we only saw one, which we loved and signed.

I email them at 7:30pm requesting to see a unit they listed on Craigslist. Emily responds quickly suggesting I see it at 1pm the following day. The following morning, when I confirm the time, they tell me the unit rented the previous evening, and that because I didn’t respond faster, they assumed I wasn’t going to confirm. No mention whatsoever of the fact that they were showing the apartment that evening (I live about 5 houses away from it so could have been there in 2 minutes) or that it was being looked at all, or of the fact that it was rented, and that I shouldn’t count on the time the agent suggested. I try to call to figure out what happened — Emily (presumably unknowingly) hangs up on me. I try to call again, and go to voicemail. I try to call the office — nobody picks up. Who knows.
Apparently, people have had good experiences with them about which they have posted. As for me, I’m still reeling in bewilderment at the whatever just happened.
All seems strange to me.

I was referred to this company by a co-​worker who told me he had a good experience with them renting out his condo. Unfortunately, he must’ve been one of the lucky ones to actually receive good service from Chicago Apartments and Condos.
I emailed this company and explained that my husband and I are desperately looking to rent out our condo and rent a bigger place for ourselves. We’ve had nothing but bad experiences with other companies and Chicago Apartments and Condos sadly was not the exception.
After two emails sent, I decided to call directly and was transferred to Tim, I explained my situation to him, and this is what he said to me: «were you the one who emailed us a couple times? I thought I emailed you back telling you we don’t work in your area». Needless to say, extremely unprofessional; I understand if they don’t work in my area, which is absurd to begin with, but there was no need for the smart remark and much less for Tim to lie pretty much to my face, because I NEVER received any reply to my emails.
Oh well, I am happy to hear that other people have had great experiences with Chicago Apartments and Condos; I guess in my case, they just had better things to do than to help potential good clients who were clearly eager to use their service.

Tried once again with this company. 3 phone calls and 3 emails later, not ONE response back from the company. Either they’re not interested in renting apartments or this is a scam company. Avoid at all costs.

I guess I am writing from a different standpoint than most of the reviewers here, as I am a landlord and I use Chicago Apartments and Condos to rent out my units. With all of the new locator services popping up in Chicago, professionalism and well trained agents seem to have fallen by the wayside, which is why Chicago Apartments and Condos is such a breath of fresh air.
Their agents are always courteous and professional, and they do a great job of renting out my units. As a landlord, I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a company that will find you qualified tenants without asking you questions they should already know the answer to. I look forward to a long lasting, mutually beneficial business relationship with this company and would gladly give them a fantastic referral to anyone I know looking for tenants OR looking for a new apartment!

I would recommend Dave Perkins, leasing agent at Chicago Apartments and Condos to show you apartments. He has great connections with management and he is very personable! Ask him to show you the building off Patterson near Broadway if there is an apartment available, Mari Sorensen, the manager of the building is amazing. She goes beyond the call of management!

These guys are great! They helped me find an awesome place in a very short amount of time. I’ve used them twice now and highly recommend them.
Don’t waste your time with Apartment People or Chicago Apartment Finders, you’ll just get lost in their system. The staff here at Chicago Apartments and Condos is friendly and really went out of their way to help me out. Moving sucks, it’s a terrible process, but these guys made things a lot less stressful.

Used these guys almost three years ago to find my first place and it was a wonderful experience. When I felt like I needed an upgrade in class I decided to use Beth G. and the great folks over at Chicago Apartments and Condos again. The new place is totally ninja. They found everything I was looking for and more at a great price and they are super fun to work with.
Thanks Team!

I was going to be moving into the city from Ohio for a new job opportunity and originally had a short term agreement with someone in order to give me time to find a place that would work for me. That fell through and I was recommended to contact Beth by my future boss. I left her a message and she called me back within a few minutes to get important information (price range, area of the city that I was looking in, if I had pets, etc) in order to find some options. Within a few days, I came out and she showed me several places that would fit my needs. I liked a couple in particular. My first choice turned out to be taken. My second choice was actually in the same building. They were able to get me a $ 25 per month discount on my second choice and I was able to m since the first one was taken. As someone new to the city, I can’t thank Beth enough for helping me get all set up in an apartment with only a couple of moving.

I have dealt with nearly a dozen apartment finders in Chicago. I had mixed experiences with each of them. Most just showed whatever they needed to get rid of first. This company’s business goals are completely different.
They actually listen to you. A novelty! I will probably never leave my current apartment as its THAT cute. Beth was an absolute dream come true and I have no problem giving her tons of business. How often do you get shown an apartment, by an office goddess and office manager, who actually lives in your apartment complex?
Love them!

I stumbled into business with Chicago Apartments and Condos, and am so grateful for the experience! From seeing a perfect apartment with Allison (and immediately filling out a rental application), to getting the paperwork finalized *very quickly* with Beth, they were professional, effective, and a pleasure to work with. I got the impression that they were similarly wonderful with our landlord, who was a little wary of renting to «young people». They clearly took care of all his concerns, and even called him when I stopped by the office to drop off checks just to keep him appraised. Fabulous company who obviously puts customer service as their number one priority.

OK so I have lived in the city for 5 moves, that’s 5 times I have changed apartments and therefore had to go apartment searching. My first experience was with The Homestead Group. I give them a 2 out of10, and I only give them a 2 because they actually showed me some apartments, even though they were 100’S of dollars above what I had told them, at least they showed them. My second experience was with Chicago Apartment Finders, this is for you Chicago Newbies, DO NOT GO THERE. Not one thing that happened while I was there went well, not one. After they told me I had my apartment, they called to tell me it had already been rented but that the other units I hated were still available. They also kept my SD because they said I could apply it to another apartment through them, well 10 days later after a lot of yelling I got my money back and decided I would join the large homeless community in Chicago.
Despite all of this I had a friend recommend I go to Chicago Apartments and Condos, needless to say I was skeptical. Although they are a small company I was VERY pleased with their services. Pretty much everything that I had problem with before (not respecting my price range, badgering me into taking a horrible apartment, not really caring about anything I have to say, taking my money without securing the apartment first, etc.) was not an issue with CAC. They calmly explained to me all of their procedures, they showed me several apartments that were significantly better quality than what I had been seeing and on top of that there was no sense that I had to rent. They let me know they would be showing the unit and that they wanted me to make an informed decision. I went out with Homescout the next day had an experience very similar to my previous disasters and immediately decided CAC was my absolute best option. They showed me their units again, I selected my favorite and the entire process was as smooth and painless. I highly recommend their services if you would like a professional experience with friendly people and to not have to worry about being scammed or lost in the shuffle.

I. Love. These. Guys.
Another friend of mine came to me saying «Help me pick an apartment!» Okay. I’m gay. I get it. I love how they’re like «YOU’RE gay! YOU’LL understand!» Like what? I got a free lunch out of her, but c’est la vie. Life goes on. So she booked an appointment with these guys, and despite the fact I’m of little use whatsoever on this grandiose tour (what do you want me to do? Judge the current occupant’s décor?), these guys were GREAT!
They know their stuff. I’ve been around with a lot of apartment agents, since I’m that «pioneer» from the great state of Michigan, where I suddenly need to trailblaze for the other ex-​pats from other States. This place made it a fabulous experience.
Our agent was Allison. Homegirl is SUPERB. She was down to business, but kept it light, fun, and dealt with my girlfriend’s many needs. I know she has needs. I kind of wish she could replace me in her stead when it comes to relationship-​drama stories rather than just apartment hunting.
Saw some fabulous places in Lakeview East, and she signed with them. The office staff was great, too. Met Beth, who processed for the management company (private landlord? Not sure.) and she was a hoot, too. Incredibly friendly, knew their stuff, and made a quick and easy experience. Kudos!
If you’re hunting apartments and want to get a quick catch-​all of Chicago’s best, check this place out. Never once saw anything that was garbage. It all came down to nitpicky stuff for my friend, and Allison was fab in working with us. So deffo recommend.
