the story

The owners of this Barton Hills duplex held onto the property for over 30 years. As a carpenter, he took pride in maintaining the duplex, and the rental income supported their family for decades. The property was more than just an investment. It was part of their identity.

They had developed a strong relationship with long-time tenants and cared deeply about the community. Their main priorities were:

  • Ensuring the duplex remained a home for artists and musicians rather than being replaced by a mansion.
  • Finding a buyer who could honor a lease-back arrangement so tenants could transition smoothly.
  • Avoiding the stress of repairs, showings, and agent fees for a simple, straightforward sale.
  • Working with a buyer they could trust to respect their vision and goals.
