Nice to meet you
Real estate with a real focus.
Commercial real estate isn't just transactions to me. It's a chance to align profit with impact. As Managing Broker at Brainstorm Properties, I work with owners and investors moving on industrial, office, retail, and multi-family assets across Chicagoland.
Most brokers hand you off to a team the moment the contract's signed. With me, you work directly with the person who understands your property, from the first call to the closing table.
More About Gary
I focus on properties other brokers treat as generic square footage, because in industrial, the details (clear height, dock access, power capacity, location relative to transportation routes) are the deal. Whether I'm walking a warehouse floor or reviewing a lease line by line, the goal is the same: give my clients a clear, honest picture of what they're getting into.
The Community Investment Fund
A real estate investment fund built to help nonprofits find affordable housing for the people they serve. Investors earn a limited return while helping purchase and hold multifamily properties for the long term, professionally managed, so nonprofits can stay focused on their mission.
- Affordable housing for nonprofit clients
- Professionally managed properties
- Held long-term, not flipped for profit
Common Questions
Frequently asked questions.
How is an industrial property valued?
Value comes down to comparable sales, income potential, and replacement cost, weighed against specifics like clear height, dock/drive-in access, and proximity to major transportation routes.
How long does a typical sale or lease take to close?
Most industrial sales close in 60 to 90 days from an accepted offer. Leases can move faster, depending on tenant improvements and how long it takes to finalize terms.
Do you work with both buyers and sellers, or tenants and landlords?
Yes, I represent buyers, sellers, tenants, and landlords, so you get a broker who understands both sides of the negotiation, not just one.
