Reviews of GC Realty & Development, LLC ®
Alex Corral
I always hear horror stories from other RE investors on how unresponsive / disorganized property management firms can be. This is the OPPOSITE of GC Realty - I have had a wonderful experience from the start. Mark A (owner) came out and met with me on two separate multi-family deals before I even brought them on - he has deep knowledge on Chicagoland, investing, and everything real estate. Kyle H. manages the day to day on two of my properties and he is phenomenal - super responsive, proactive, and thoughtful in his approach. I look forward to continuing to work with GC on the current portfolio and new properties as well!

I cannot say enough great things about GC Realty. They work with you to resolve issues or concerns immediately. They take great care of their properties. And they have made my first time living on my own a great experience with no headaches.
Tristan Chevalier
The owner was extremely hospitable and willing to assist us with our apartment search. He showed us excellent properties within our price range and quickly found us a beautiful apartment. I'm astounded at how quickly maintenance takes care of any issues that may arise. Highly recommended.
Olga Robledo
Great experience, when there were issues at our apartment they did what they could to help. Of course some had to do with other renters which no one has control over that. I truly recommend them, my to go to is Lauren, I have to break my lease and she has been extremely helpful and has kept her communication with us 100%, via text/calls/emails. Thank you Lauren for all you have done and are doing, you are very appreciated.
Danielle A. Moore
I've LOVED this new apartment. There haven't been any issues that I've needed to bring to the company but the initial signing process back in February was so smooth. And with automatic payments on the resident portal, I know my rent is always on time!
Nathan Dunnington
HIGHLY RECOMMEND
GC has gone above and beyond to help me handle a challenging situation. As a remote owner, we depend on our Propety management. With GC you will have the peace of mind that your property is in good hands. Special shout out to my manager Tariq for all the extra work and doing whatever it takes. THANK YOU
Sam Abazari
Mark is amazing. He has gone out of his ways 4 times in 2 years to help me out where it wouldn't directly help him. He is generous with his time and knowledge, and a trusted advisor for all real estate needs!
Ursula Williams
🎉Hi I've been with GC since 2018 and they've been good to us, if there ever is an issue Ms. Sandy our property manager always deliver or responds to my text messages and gets my issue resolved quickly. Her follow up game is a solid 🎉10🎉 thank you Ms. Sandy your the best. …
Aaron Palmer
Kyle Hanley and the entire GC staff has been instrumental in my operation. I live out of state and would be lost without them. Kyle does a great job of balancing what needs to be done (keeping me accountable) and watching out for the bottom line. Cannot recommend enough!
Pamela Ross
Whenever I contact the Property Management as well as creating a work order things are handled in a timely manner and that is very much appreciated. The property management is always available for any questions no matter how big or small.
Amy Stevens
I have always had good experiences with GC reps and repairmen. Year over year I have seen that you are responsive in a positive and understanding why and I appreciate it which is part of the reason why I stay. Plus it’s a great location for the price.
Lucina Leo
Mark was amazing explaining me all the process and what I can expect from their service. Definitely a good option if you are looking for a Property Manager in the Chicago area.
Victor Adrian Vega Tapia (djmauer1265)
I had a problem with the electrical installation of my house and I thought it would take forever to be resolved but I was really surprised. I don't know if Sandy has super powers but she made sure that the problem was solved as soon as possible. Unfortunately one of my children connected a broken device and practically half of my house lost power, this happened on Sunday afternoon and by Monday morning there was already a technician knocking on my door and solving the problem.
Luis Sanchez
Ashley and Laura did an amazing job helping me find the perfect tenant for my property, their screening process is very thorough and I felt very confident that the person I was renting my property to was trustworthy.
Windy City Solutions
Mark is the best and so knowledgeable on anything you can think of. Any fee you are paying them is worth it for the headache it saves and the tricks of the trade they use. There’s not a problem they haven’t came across already in the chicago area.
Nancy Campos
Last night I went to the store and on the way back I realized that I had left my keys inside the apartment. the only person I thought could help me at that time was the property manager. I called Aaron and he very kindly helped me to resolve the situation and in less than 45 minutes a person arrived to open the apartment. I really don't know what I would have done without your help, I thought I was going to have to spend the night in a hotel but it wasn't.
Benjamin Amezcua
Kyle did a great job with my property in Schaumburg, I live out of the US, but having him as my property manager is amazing, I know someone is taking care of my property.
Hugo PH
The LiveChat service GC have on their website is amazing, I thought it was going to be a bot (something I don't like) but I was wrong Maricruz helped me submit a maintenance order and it was very easy with her help.
Rafael Cosi
The leasing process was very easy, Michelle was very helpful solving my doubts.
I love the way they work, it's very clear from step 1 till the moment I got the keys.
Guy Macino
Michelle in the leasing department was very helpful. There was a part of the drywall that was moist in the bathroom and she had it repaired almost immediately, she was fantastic!!!
Abraham Amezcua
I'm really happy with the property manager who is managing my property. Marta is taking care of every aspect, and I really feel that my house is in good hands

Laura was awesome. She was prompt, knowledgeable and patient. The property on Simpson Street is a great value and very clean.
Kimberly Cole
Enrique Lopez seems like he genuinely cares about helping potential renters find a suitable unit,he gave me a link so I can search to locate a unit.
Meghan Rai
Amazing staff, and fantastic people to work with. Extremely accommodating and helpful. I want to especially give a thank you to Tariq, the property manager, as well as Sandy, the assistant property manager who has been extremely friendly and helpful throughout the moving process. The apartment was great. The response time of the staff was also very appreciated. Great company to work with, highly recommend.
Michael Turano
Mark Ainley was amazing to work with and very knowledgeable. Super nice and very attentive. Would highly recommend to anyone.
Richard Pinney
Laura was incredibly responsive. Answering questions and went above and beyond to help. The service from GC realty is like nothing you will ever experience.
After trying to do the apartment thing myself, the team really showed why their company is miles ahead of all the rest. They are the only property solutions company you will ever need!
Fernanda Diaz
This is the best property management service you can find. Mark was very clear from the beginning, he explained to me the way they work, the rates and all the benefits that I would find with GC. They have saved me a lot of headaches and time. I know my property is in good hands.
Jesse Prescott
Tariq at GC makes everything so simple! I don't live in the same state as my property, so it's nice to have a property manager that I trust to take care of things so I don't have to worry.
anonymous
After having property in different states across the country using numerous property management companies, GC is the best that they come and I wouldn't hesitate to use them again.
Serge Boccassini
Tariq has been a fantastic property manager and service provider. He make all tasks run smooth and creamy like a popsicle.
Camila Sánchez Mendoza
The property management service they provide is more than amazing, since my first call with Mark, I knew this company was exactly what I was looking for.

Cassandra thompson
Sandy is an amazing woman. Never met her but she’s very compassionate over the phone. I wish her well
I Ro
I contacted GC realty for an initial consultation on property management and spoke with Mark. Mark was very professional and took the time to answer all my questions as well as took the time to give me helpful tips and information on real estate investing as well as suggesting other resources that could help. If you are looking for a property management company that is knowledgeable in real estate don’t hesitate to contact GC Realty.
Diana B
Shae was really helpful in explaining all the aspects of the PM service. I will be signing my contract next week. Thanks Shae.
Tom Rumsey
I have been utilizing GC Realty Management for years and they have EXCEEDED my expectations in every way. The company has the best customer service I have ever dealt with in all my years dealing in real estate. When there is an issue with a home or a question regarding tenants, they never let me down in resolving the situation rapidly, professionally, and ensure that I am informed. They are first rate and I would recommend GC to anyone owning a home in Chicago.
Caleb Iler
As a contractor for Bill and Maria I have a great experience working with them. They are responsive and easy to work with!
Mautice Elion
GC Realty has been a great property management company. I’ve been a resident for 5 years and I haven’t experienced a rent increase. They gave me an extra week to move out after we ended our lease due to buying our own home. Any issues we experienced with the air conditioning unit or furnace was handled quickly and efficiently. I plan on using GC Realty company for my property management needs in the near future.
Thank you!
Junaid Syed
Hiring and working with the GC Team has been a real pleasure. We were new to the rental property game and GC has been so caring in their interactions with us. Right from the beginning when we started talking about wanting to rent out our townhome, Mark was super informative and helpful. As onboarding was initiated and we worked to get the place on the market, everyone on the GC side was super responsive and made sure all bases were being covered. I can’t imagine working with any other property management company. We feel taken care of and heard, and we don’t need to worry about the day to day of being landlords, which is worth it’s weight in gold.
Alcander CABR
he maintenance team they have is amazing 10/10.
I consider myself a handyman but this guy's have super powers.
antonio aboytes
Tina was amazing helping me with all the process, she was clear with every step needed to make things go smoothly.
Sarah Syed
Mark with GC Realty was absolutely amazing. From the moment we inquired about their services, to signing our contract and everything in-between, Mark was there every step of the way. We are new rental property owners and Mark and his team always made us feel like we could ask a million questions and they were all validated with kindness and transparency. For such a big operation, we weren’t expecting them to be as responsive as they are, but man were we wrong. Every email, every phone call, were almost immediately followed up on. We can’t think GC realty and Mark enough for such a great experience.
Ayla Langer
So appreciative of how generous Mark is! Very knowledgeable with high integrity. Impressive. Much recommended.
Michelle McEvoy
Ian and Tina were a great help in finding a perfect commercial space. Just what we were looking for. Excited for these new endeavors, Thank you GC Family. Lol
Jennifer Morrow
I could not be happier with the service that GC Realty provides. As a first time rental/property owner, the services with GC Realty was flawless. The team walked me through the entire process, explained every financial tidbit and immediately found a renter. During the rental process, they handled every matter and issue promptly and professionally. When I was ready to sell my property, they handled that process just as seamlessly. I could not have been happier with their customer service for both the rental and selling of my property. I highly recommend their services.
She Pisces
As a renter, I'm extremely happy with the response time for the occasional needed repair. Gilbert, as well as the other maintenance professionals were prompt, courteous, knowledgeable and performed repairs perfectly, efficiently and fast. Great team at GC Realty.
James Courtland
I would highly recommend Mark Ainley and his team at GC Realty. If you are looking for a knowledgeable and experienced property
Austin Mallony
At first I was skeptical about GC, for work reasons I had to change my residence and find someone who would really take care of my property while I live in another country. In truth after 2 years I realize that I chose the best property management company. I can only thank Cliff, Mark and Bryan because despite not being in the same country I know that everything is fine with my property.
Jennifer Pasinosky *work*
I interviewed four property management companies, and GC Realty stood out to me above the rest. Mark Ainley was warm, knowledgably, and extremely thorough. He immediately put our minds at ease, and we knew that our property would be in good hands. GC Realty's prices are transparent and fair, which was important to our family since it is our first time working with a property management company. Working with GC Realty has been a very positive experience and has exceeded our expectations.
Patricia Mendoza
I thought the process to rent a house was going to take for ever, but with GC it's so different. They are very professional.
Rod z
Great experience. My questions were answered, fast respond . Very friendly. Super professional. Great customer service.
Javier Díaz
Having GC Managing my units is like having someone covering your back always. I'm not the best at calculating taxes so I don't need to be concerned about that.
If I need something during working hours I just log into their page and chat with someone, if it's an emergency I can get them on the phone.
They always keep me informed of everything and take care of my properties as if it were theirs.
Kris Toribio
Mark Ainley has proven time and time again to be an incredible asset to the real estate community in Chicago. Despite his busy schedule with GC realty and development, Mark is readily willing to take time out of their day to mentor others through his personal experience, references, and knowledge base. Additionally, the responsiveness and professionalism of his property management team makes it clear that they have the experience, systems, and infrastructure to effectively manage your property.
As a local investor, I can’t thank him enough for being someone I can count on. Regardless of whether you are a new or seasoned investor, anyone would be lucky to have Mark on their team. I would not hesitate to recommend GC Realty and Development for any of your property management needs.

I am currently in the process of buying my first rental property. So I was looking on the web for different methods of managing a rental property when I came across GC Realty & Development. I set up an appointment with Mark to find out more about their services and basically looking for a professional advice. Mark is a very experienced, dedicated, and knowledgeable person about his business. He took the time to answer every question I had and went above and beyond explaining and sharing his personal experiences. I'm really looking forward to work with GC Realty & Development, LLC in the near future.

Ricardo Layas is a great property management agent; he is very responsive and professional. We are fortunate to have him as a property manager to manage our properties, which essentially frees us from all property maintenance and tenant coordination burdens. In addition, he is excellent when communicating with our tenants.
I also would like to express how pleased I've been since I selected GC Realty & Development as our property management company; I would recommend GC Realty to anyone looking for property management. They are very professional staff !! They are efficient and respectful. GC has been taking care of our properties for a couple of years now.
I have worked multiple times with Jeff Richter regarding purchasing rental investment properties, and I consider him the best. Jeff is one of the most knowledgeable professionals in the industry that I have been fortunate enough to meet. I can't talk highly enough about Jeff.
Brianna Kidd
Jonathan F. came and painted our bathroom. It was a creamy color and looked awful, but now it looks wonderful!
Steven Wu
I was looking to rent my property out and a friend of mine recommended Mark from GC Realty. Mark is very professional and responsive. The onboarding process was easy and painless. Mark was there every step of the way and often contacted me to make sure I know what was going on. If you are looking to rent your property out, I highly recommend Mark and his team! Big shout out to Bill as well, who now works directly with me on my property. Very responsive and very knowledgeable. Thank you both!
Joong Hyun
GC Realty has been taking care of my condo for the past 18 months. They did a great job of finding the right tenants and taking care of all maintenance, including a recent one involving insurance claim. The property manager assigned to me, Tariq R, has been very response in all aspects. If you are looking for a property manager, I highly recommend Mark A and his team at GC Realty.
Mario León
I found one of the properties for rent in Facebook Marketplace, it was very easy to schedule a showing.
Alex Stezskal
GC realty is the best property management company I've worked with in my real estate career. Communication and customer service is unmatched and their process and systems for repeated excellent results are top notch. These guys have the experience and know how of the chicagoland market.
Vincent Incopero
I'm the managing partner of a well known and respected real estate office. I send my clients to Mark at GC Realty for advice, for assistance, often times on short notice or at late hours because Mark is knowledgeable, professional and prompt. As a real estate attorneyaand an investor myself, I am always pleased when I see GC is involved in transaction that I am working on because I know that we won't have any amateurs in the mix or fumbling at the finish line. I highly recommend Mark and GC Realty and I will continue to pass on their information when my clients ask me for a referral!
Noah Birk
As a multifamily broker, I deal with a lot of property managers. Mark Ainley and the team at GC Realty is hands down one of the best I've dealt with. They provide top notch service, and most importantly Mark is honest. He will provide you with the info you NEED to hear, not the info you WANT to hear.
C L
GC has been managing my townhouse for several years and have been doing an excellent job. Deciding to rent out my townhouse was difficult and a little scary for me, but after meeting with Mark I knew my home was going to be in good hands. They have experience contractors on hand, understanding of association rules and village licensing. GC even sets up annual furnace cleaning and smoke detector checks. I’m incredibly grateful for how they have been taken care of my home and tenant. If you’re looking for a reliable property management company, I definitely recommended GC Realty.
Varun Patel
Mark and his team are very responsive to any tenant and owner needs. If you are looking for a property management company who take care of your property like their own GC realty is the company to go for. Highly recommended for out of state investor.
Mike DiMeo
GC and Tariq are doing a fantastic job managing our properties - thank you!
Ade Adesuyi
GC Realty has been great! They were great during the closing process and were a great help during my rehab and filling my property with a tenant. They were knowledgeable in the section 8 process which I knew nothing about. And they knew the rules and regulations of the village I was in which was nice, because they cover a good area of the south side of Chicago. Their payments are on time and invoicing through their portal makes accounting a breeze. I would highly recommend them for any property management needs.
Cregen McMinn
Mark has been so helpful with deciding on how to approach our first investment property. There's so much for a new person to learn and he has been very patient with answering all of my random questions. Also it's worth checking out the "Straight Up Chicago Investor Podcast" that he co-hosts. A lot of good local info being shared there.
Pathik Parikh
Mark Ainley is an incredible asset to the real estate community. He has been extremely friendly and readily willing to take time out of his busy schedule to mentor others through his personal experience and knowledge base. I'd highly recommend GC due to their great leadership and commitment.
Chris Van Dinther
I spoke with Mark Ainley for a solid 30 minutes and he provided great insight on the Chicagoland market and what to look out for when managing properties. I do not own my own property yet but Mark still took the time to speak with me. Once I am able to scale my portfolio I will definitely hire GC Realty & Development for any of my property management needs.
Caryn DeBell
GC Realty has been managing my property for several years now and I am happy with my experience. Any time I have a question I am able to reach someone and they get back to me promptly to help me with my concerns. Life is never perfect, but I do appreciate good relationships and responsiveness. I also like the videos that Mark has been providing during the pandemic to update us on the property market/ state of renting so we can be proactive and prepared.
Rachell Runion
As a fellow Professional Property Manager, I would recommend GC Realty 100%. We work in different areas and refer clients to each other. They are always prompt and professional. I frequent conventions and classes to make sure I am the best a manager can be. 9 times out of 10 I see someone from GC Realty there. They strive to be the best in their market and it shows!
Tyler Berggren
Working with Bill Palmer has been great. He really came through on short notice to help my wife and I land our dream home. 👍 …
Shana Pope
Mark and Jessica have been amazing to work with so far. I truly feel my property is in good hands with them. They are extremely professional, responsive, and proactive, and have exceeded my expectations. The peace of mind I have is worth every penny!
Nicholas Stathopoulos
Great property management company. Very knowledgable and does a great job accommodating both tenants and landlords.
Felicia White
We found out about Mark Ainley from his podcast "Straight Up Chicago Investor". Thank you Mark for being so responsive and all of your professional advice and insider tips! Even though we have not actually used his service, he was kind enough to offer guidance to my partner and I who are first time multi unit property owners. Thank you for your advice and being available if we have any more questions!
Stephen DeFalco
Mark and his team have been an amazing resource for me as a first time real estate investor. A lot of times I feel companies like this always have a sales angle but there was no pressure to use their services and they truly were interested in helping and made themselves easily available.
Taylor Haas
I would highly recommend GC Realty and Development to anyone that is looking to become a successful landlord/investor in the greater Chicago area. They are knowledgeable, innovative and truly care about their clients and customers. Mark Ainley is a true professional and an absolute expert when it comes to all things property management and investing.
Rob Tyse

Chris Dizz
Professional Property Management! Provide great peace of mind for housing providers. Very Responsive.
Jessica Satterfield-Reyna
I have really enjoyed working with Kyle in property management. He is super responsive and thorough. He's a great asset to the property management team and I'm glad he's assigned to our properties. Guy and Bryan are also wonderful. GC Realty is a solid turnkey partner and we will continue to do business with them!
Steven Banks
The only thing I can say to GC Realty, Mark, Brian, and all his team is thanks. I went into a lot of problems with my past tenant for months so I decided to hire GC Realty services and all my stress is over now. No more bad tenants for me.
Alex Ferraro (US)
I have worked with Mark Ainley for onboarding and Tariq Rana for property management and both have been great thus far. They are quick to respond and send photo updates as repairs are being completed. Great job so far!
G
Been with GC for coming up on two years as a landlord now and am pleased with the communication and price that i receive. Specifically Kyle H. Has been an absolute pleasure to work with. While i am not particularly happy with their in house Maintenance Department as they have done almost every job they have been tasked incorrectly, Kyle has shown his true value in his ability to communicate quickly, efficiently and to fix the issues that arise.
Matt Ballenger
My experience with GC Realty has been very good. Kyle, my property manager, encourages me to 'bug' him whenever I have a question and is quick to respond and solve problems as they come up.
GC is a great property management company with quality staff, quick maintenance response times and I continue to be impressed with their ability to solve problems. Thanks GC and thanks Kyle for all you do!
CharlieAmy Wright
Mark and the team at GC Realty were great to work with! We wanted to move, but didn't have time to manage the projects needed to get our house on market. The thought of renting was daunting. A referral to Mark was just what we needed to get things moving along. He developed a plan and was attentive and communicative throughout. Though we changed course of action, we definitely had a positive experience with GC Realty and would pursue working with them again.
Isa Givanian
The last property management company I had made a mess out of my multi-family building, so I decided to change with GC.
They are very responsive and help me out with all the technical issues that last company left me with.
Thanks a lot to BIll Palmer for helping me out with all the situation and to his maintenance team.
Portia White
Past Tentant from 2014-2019
Great rental properties,Maintenance and customer service.
Baihu Qian
Great property manager. Mark is amazing for his knowledge, passion, and dedication.
Amanda Theagali
Mark Ainley is a remarkable industry leader! This week our team was grateful he shared his ideas on marketing and growth to enhance our property management company. It was a pleasure being on that call with you! We loved your energy and willingness to share your experiences.
EOG
I had a great conversation earlier this week with Mark Ainley, co owner in GC Realty. I'm a real estate investor seeking new opportunities and I reached out to Mark on real estate networking platform to see if we could find a way to partner together. Mark was very quick to respond, and has been very open to share his insights on the Chicago land RE Market. I have had a number of discussions with property managers in the past I was extremely impressed with Mark's knowledge and willingness to support my efforts. I look forward to working with Mark and GCRealty in the very near future!
Diana laura Rodiguez torres
I want to say thanks to Mauricio because he was very patient in teaching me how to submit a maintenance order.
Julia Murphy
I wanted to take the time out to acknowledge the Maintenance staff as well as the managers of GC Realty & Development, LLC.
Michelle & Doriana are awesome! They communicate effectively with courtesy. Thanks to Toby, Richard, Brian and most recently Vernice for being professional and courteous when you commit to work orders at my south side rental.
I have been here for five years and besides some minor concerns of the property in general, the executive staff are readily available to respond to my requests.
This is probably the best leasing experience of all of my history as a renter. Thank you, Mark Ainley for the experience.
Arkadiusz Szejgiec
Mark Ainley is extremely knowledgeable of Chicago area, he knows every neighborhood, its good and bad sides, very professional and experienced in managing properties, always responding in timely manner. He helped me and my properties, guided how to grow my business. In one word - expert.
I recommend his business to all property owners.
Tania Spezza
While I ultimately didn’t end up moving forward with GC Realty because it didn’t make financial sense to rent my condo out, Mark was incredibly helpful, understanding, and responsive. He referred me to a realtor instead and seemed to genuinely care about my situation. If a situation arose where I could work with Mark and GC Realty, I definitely would!
Mercedes Christmas
Where do I begin? Seriously, GC Realty & Development have been such an amazing help throughout this process. I'm super impressed with how fast they got things done. Laura, Eduardo, Alice, and their team did a wonderful job assisting me with my application (approved in less than 24 hours) as well as the move-in process. I'm very big on professionalism and GC Realty did not disappoint. Whenever I had a concern or needed a question answered, they were able to provide me with direct answers or were able to get back to me (via email or phone) in a timely manner. So far so good! Special thanks to you all for your time, dedication, and kindness. It's such a pleasure to give GC Realty a review on how great their service is. If you are looking for people who are hands-on every step of the way, I recommend GC Realty & Development.
Hassan Abidi
I am extremely satisfied with the service GC Reality has provided to me over the last 3 years . Mark and his team took a good care of all my real estate needs and never disappointed me during this time. The GC Reality staff is courteous, professional and always looking for ways to make the best decision for their clients.
Thank you Mark, Kristine for providing such a wonderful service to your clients.
I am a happy customer and looking forward to work with you in future.
Nikitha Duggirala
Mark and Bryan are truly knowledgeable investors that keep up with the latest developments and trends in the Chicago housing market. They are quite responsive and always willing to help any questions at any time!
Their tips on rehab projects is unbelievable, it really shows how experienced they are in the business. Suggestions like take care of the landscaping as the first step in a renovation as it'll establish a good relationship between you and the neighbors/neighborhood and don't waste money on fencing are just two of myriads of helpful tips they provide.
I currently only have one rental and am managing it myself, but I know that I will be using GC Realty to be my property manager on my next one!
Sandra Wright
Mark Ainley is a great resource and extremely knowledgable in the property management arena. I have needed his expertise and also have the opportunity to host with him on Real Estate Revealed Program, as heard on Sunday Mornings on AM-560, Mark is a strong advocate, who will stand by you every step of the way when looking at investment property and needing a property management company. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
JR Hinds
I've recently switched from a different property manager. I should have switched sooner. GC Realty has been so much more communicative than the other property manager. I really feel like I know my property much better than I did before. I'm much more aware of what's going on there, and what's ahead of me. I would strongly recommend looking at GC Realty if you own property in their area. And I know that my tenants experience is much better too. I can't recommend them enough.
Anthony Fecarotta
As a startup Real Estate Investor, there is a lot to learn and it can be very overwhelming at timers. Over the past few months I have begun the process of searching for a home, putting an offer on a home, negotiating with sellers, and ultimately closing. Throughout this process Mark has mentored me and given me priceless advice that I could not get anywhere else. I have emailed him frequently, at all hours of the day/night, and he has gotten back to me ASAP. Working with GC has been one of the best decisions I've made in my young real estate career, and I look forward to our future endeavors.
Michael F.
I am a property owner and I hired GC to manage a few rental units in the past few months. It was a fantastic move and switching to GC from my old management company has already paid for itself. GC had my units prepped and leased to high quality tenants in less than a month! Their customer service is great - they always answer all of my inquiries and requests quickly and thoroughly. Mark and his team are very knowledgeable.
Joshua Jasien
Mark and the GC Realty team are an amazing company and great resource for investors and agents alike. I started out with GC after getting my real estate license and learned a lot about both brokerage and investing. Whether you are new to investing or a seasoned pro, definitely consider GC Realty for all your real estate needs!
Michael DeGeorge
Mark and his team at GC Realty use a proactive approach to go above and beyond even the highest of expectations. For more than 7 years GC has worked with me and a number of my clients to help manage and identify real estate investment opportunities. GC's knowledge of the real estate industry and active management style often sniffs out problems before they have an opportunity to grow. I strongly recommend partnering with them!
Ryan Gilpatrick
There is no one better in Chicago than Mark and his team. If you're a first time landlord and seasoned professional you'll be well taken care of. Not currently being local to the area I had concerns that things could go wrong quickly and Mark and his team have made it easy. Here's to many more deals and further wealth building. Also ask Mark about his podcast. His wealth of knowledge is worth listening to.
Suzette M
We reached out to Mark and his team and were pleasantly surprised with Marks extensive real estate knowledge. He was easy to reach, professional, very generous with his time and information. Mark exemplifies a "Go-Giver" to the tee, referring to the book Go Giver by Bob Burg. A huge thank you to Mark!

I've had some challenging apartment issues but Ricardo, property maintenance representative, has listened to my concerns and took the necessary steps to ensure I was satisfied as a tenant. Listening and expediting action doesnt always happen so GC should be proud of their employee's work ethic.
Fernando Del Angel
I got introduced to Mark and GC Realty & Development LLC via a webinar hosted by my lender. Mark Ainley was the guest speaker and he provided a lot of insight, relevant information and savvy tips for all level of investors. He also shared some of his mistakes on investments, which resonates, as a less seasoned investor compared to Mark and his team.
I reached out to Mark for more information and his response time was impressive and he kept the door open to reach out to him in the future as well.
Mark and the GC Realty & Development team, we need more people like you in the industry.
Christopher Puleo
Mark, Bryan and the entire GC staff is the best in the business. I have worked with GC Realty and Mark for more then 15 years. Being in the loan industry I have referred hundreds of clients from selling their homes, purchasing homes, and property management. Their professionalism and response time is the best I have seen in the industry. I have also used them for personal purchase and sales as well.
Amit Jadhav
GC realty and development has been a great partner and offered great customer service, prompt resolution of various matters which required attention. Especially in my case I transitioned from other property management company to GC and they handled it gracefully. I highly recommend to anyone looking for property management services in ChicagoLand area.
Berit Elizabeth Nowicki
GC Realty is the BEST property company company I've ever worked with. They are truly diligent, always respond right away, and always made me feel heard. After a few bad experiences, this is the company I'm sticking with. I wish I had found GC Realty earlier. They're simply awesome.
Ryan G
I would like to provide an update to my experience so far with GC Realty and mainly with my property manager Guy. I have been 100% satisfied with the consistent and timely communication that has been given to me whenever I have reached out for information or to get status on my properties on-boarding. The process is still ongoing but everything is pretty much set with GC Realty and my two existing properties and I feel confident that my needs will be met in a timely fashion and with the upmost professionalism. I cannot stress enough how important it is for an owner to feel as though their property is being taken care of and this is how I feel with Guy managing my properties.
Steven Sell
I’ve worked with GC Realty for a few years and I have been consistently satisfied with their service. Owners Bryan Sonn and Mark Ainley have been great business partners and their property manager Guy has also done an excellent job helping to keep my properties running successfully and keeping me updated with all relevant information. Really appreciate these guys and hope to continue working with them for years to come.

My partner and I found Mark and his company through Bigger Pockets and as new real estate investors in the area, we were extremely appreciative and impressed of how helpful Mark was with providing us with much knowledge in the area we planned to invest in. We appreciated that Mark took some time out of his day to connect with newbies like us, listened to our short-term goals and shared his knowledge through his extensive experience to ensure we were taking a profound approach in this new journey! Highly recommend Mark & GC Realty!

Mark is the man! Mark is very knowledgeable in the Chicago Property management and real estate market.
He has great communication skills, and is eager to share with his information, he is A source of great knowledge and experience, I would trust GC Realty with managing real estate, you are looking for the man, he is it, specially if you are not local and need good boots on the ground, just leave it up to Mark.
Danielle Kowalski
Mark Ainley is an awesome investing professional who can provide a lot of great knowledge about the rental industry. I recently reached out regarding a few property management questions about a new property I just purchased and he responded within hours and with valuable recommendations. I also listen to his 'Straight Up Chicago Investor' podcast and appreciate all the information provided. Thanks Mark!!
Joe Catanese
I'm very pleased with GC Realty & Development. The team is responsive, professional, and really know their business. Bryan and Mark in particular were very helpful. I own one property and I live out of state. I'm sure they have many other customers that are larger than me, but I never felt that way. They were there for me every step of the way. I needed to have work done on my unit to get it rent ready and they navigated all the unforeseen issues we ran into. As for getting it rented they did a great job of marketing the unit and had a tenant within a matter of days once the unit was rent ready. I'm very appreciative of them and I highly recommend them. Sincerely, Joe C.

GC Realty & Development met my expectations way more than I expected. When it comes to property management. Laura Smith in the leasing department is great to work with. I highly recommend her! She was there for all of my questions and made the process so easy for me! The stress of finding and renting a property is a lot as is, but with Laura's help it was so simple! Thanks for everything!
Alejandro Martinez
Mark Ainley (managing broker at GC) has provided connections and guidance in abundance. He has been extremely friendly and willing to share his knowledge/wisdom. I'd highly recommend GC due to their great leadership and commitment to earning your business.
Michael Denman
Our property is currently managed by GC Realty, and I have to say these guys are fantastic. When we were first signing our lease with GC Bill Palmer was a great help. When we had questions, he was there to quickly answer the phone or promptly respond via email. After moving in Ben Fassero has been the go-to guy for our maintenance issues, communicating via text or phone has made that process even easier. If a work order took longer than expected to get someone out Ben is fast to text an update and keep me in the loop. I have to say, GC has set the bar extremely high for customer service and professionalism. I can't thank Bill and Ben enough for all the help they have given us. Kudos to GC for having such a wonderful staff.
Bhavya Setia
Mark is absolutely amazing. He connected me with great people who can help me in my real estate journey. His podcast Straight Up Chicago Investor has great insights for the local investors.
p mad
I’ve been a GC Realty client for 2+ years and used their services both for property management as well as for listing the house. They go about their business in a very professional way. I’ve listed my house for rent twice and both the times they were able to get me good tenants in a couple of days. The staff is always available and respond quickly to calls and emails. The maintenance staff do an exceptional job as well.
I was very impressed with the service I received from one of their real estate agents - Kristine Eisenmann. Kristine is very professional and easy to work with. She is always available to answer questions and handle requests. She has very good understanding of the market and did a great job in negotiations with the buyer's agent(s). I would highly recommend her.
Leo Ferreras
Having someone like Mark from GC realty & development speak at a local meetup was an extreme honor. Mark is a great person who shares his insight and knowledge with novice investors. His team/motto are what every property manager or investor should strive for. Keep up the great work and adding value to the community
Jeb Wild
This is the best property management company in the Chicago area. I have worked with them for the last two years. Solid and trustworthy company. Jeff Richter has been a pleasure to work with. We are very happy with GC.
Channon Dade (Channon TV)
When your an out of state landlord one of your biggest (if not main) concerns is a great Management Company. First off GC Realty help me immensely before I even found a property to pursue in Chicago. I had a ton very detailed questions and they got back to me ASAP. They were so helpful and honest and saved me a lot of money upfront and I had not even signed with them yet. There is no where else to go in Chicago if you want BEYOND EXCEPTIONAL management! My only draw back with them is that, they have not duplicated themselves in other cities where I have investment properites(-:
Tom Caprel
I've worked with Mark and his team for the last 3 years. Many leaders of organizations talk the talk about having "a great culture" and very few put their money where their mouth is to do the work to get that accomplished. This is a team that walks their talk. They are extraordinarily focused on improving the company and providing the best service they can to their clients. Based on that attitude. I would recommend their services highly.
Oscar Ritchie
Great company that makes you feel supported. People listen and care about your thoughts and concerns.
Kate Atkins
Kristine Eisenmann/GC Realty were instrumental in securing our new home! We had saved enough money to finally purchase and then the pandemic hit. Kristine ensured that we were safe and took precautions at every turn. She worked diligently to find our home and visited MULTIPLE times with us to ensure it was just what we wanted. Negotiations went well and we paid below asking! We highly recommend Kristine Eisenmann and GC Realty for all your home buying needs!
marc bristol
I have worked on several transactions with GC Realty on both the Buy and Sell side..

Mark Ainley and the team at GC Realty & Development are truly experts in their field. They have systems in place to ensure prompt responses to all property owner, tenant, and vendor communication. As an owner of a property management company in Lake County, I feel confident referring clients out of my area to GC Realty & Development.

Mark is a great guy to work and connect with. He makes the time to work and connect with you. He's able to offer his knowledge and experience of the Chicago market. He makes a genuine effort to be as helpful and resourceful as he can be. I'm excited to continue working with Mark in the future.
Renee Wood
Everyone at GC is professional and knowledgeable . More importantly, they are efficient and responsive. Bill Palmer has been a godsend and his personal dedication and attention to the needs of his clients is second to none. Thank you, Bill, and the entire staff at GC Realty for your unwavering commitment to your clients.
Jesse Gambetti
Been working with GC for many years - they took over properties from another management firm and have completely turned them around faster than the timeline they gave me. You can trust all of these guys. Every interaction I have with Mark, Bryan and Kyle and the rest of the crew has always been good.
Cassie Parker
Working with Mark has been such a pleasure. His knowledge of the market is astounding and I feel I've learned so much from him. I look forward to working with him in the future. If anyone is looking for someone with a vast knowledge of the Chicago market, Mark is your guy. Investors, call this man first!
Brandy May
GC Realty was one of my first contracts when I went into business for myself, I love working for this company. The properties that I have cleaned for them are in the finest neighborhoods and are furnished with the top of the line appliances. I really appreciate GC Realty giving me this opportunity to work with a great company like theirs.
anthony pagliuco
GC has been tremendous in turning around the operation of our strip center. Their attention to the details and method of operating to improve occupancy and value is outstanding!
richard dubin
Mr. Ainley of GC realty has been extremely generous with his advice and time, helping me as I dip my toe in the water of real estate investing. I
have yet to hire him for his services, yet he still reaches out TO ME to share his advice as my first property is being rehabbed. What a class act and a guy who seems to just love helping others.
Thank you, sir,

April Dunmore
I am currently employed with GC Realty. I can honestly say that the GC Team really works hard to provide quality service to owners and residents. As an employee I feel that management truly supports me in my role, it is a pleasure working here. I want to recognize the entire GC team Bryan, Mark, Cliff, Guy, Daniel, Bill, Cary, Helene, Amy, Michelle, Louie, Ben, Pat, Chris, O, Tina, Laura, D! You all work so hard. Thank you all for being amazing co-workers!

JP Fair has been an amazing, responsive, and knowledgeable technician
Kristi A
I have worked with both Kristine and Mark for the past 6 years. We have used them to buy our house and to rent out another home we own with multiple renters. They are both wonderful people who are always ready and willing to help!! They have showed me houses with 1 day notice and they are always available even with short notice! Kristine always answers my texts within 1 hour and gives the answer to the question I am looking for. I'm completely trust their judgment, advise and admire the knowledge they have in this field. I would highly recommend anyone to use their services, as they are respectable people whom I hold in high regard!!
Christle Stezskal
While we ended up not using their services (because we walked away from a property we had under contract), I'm so happy that I got in touch with Mark. He was extremely helpful, full of advice, and put us in touch with another great resource as well. If and when we're in the market for a property manager, Mark will be our guy!
Matthew Whitaker
Cliff and his team are leaders in the property management industry. Not just in Chicago, but also around the country. I’ve had the uniques opportunity to witness some of the best this industry has to offer around the country and can honestly say the investors in Chicago have a leg up using GC to manage their property. Do yourself a favor and forget managing it yourself and forget vetting other managers and let GC help you reach your investment goals. They are honest, hard working and wicked smart.
Joseph Pochinskas
I met Mark on Bigger Pockets and knew he was on the PodCast. When I reached out I was not expecting to get ahold of him as he runs one of the most sucessful property management companies in Chicago. To my surprise, he responded in minutes and set up a call for the next business day. He spend over an hour on the phone with me analyzing my property and working through some tenant scenerios I had.
He finished it up by referring me to the best contractors, plumbers, and lawyers in Chicago. Thanks Mark!
Vernika Bhargava
I highily recommend to work with this firm. The knowledge Mark brings to your business is valuable. His advise is spot on and they have local strong relationships to manage your assets very well.
I particulay work with Ashley Crager as my PM, and highly recommend her. She's very prompt, helpful and meticulous.
So far, they have guided me at every step and I look forward to doing more business with them.
Stacy Walker
The whole experience from finding the right property, purchase, and management of the property has been a pleasure.
Tariq is who I work with directly for day to day property management and he has always been extremely responsive and helpful with any issues or just questions I may have. I definitely recommend GC Realty to anyone whether they are experienced in investment properties or not.
bjorn s
Marc Ainley was incredibly helpful during my first home buying experience. I was able to utilize his expertise and knowledge in order to purchase an investment property. Marc also took the time out of his day on multiple occasions in order to make sure I was comfortable at varying stages of the home buying process. Thanks for everything Marc!!!!
Mark Wilton
In my time in Real Estate, I've not come across anyone more genuine in their approach to helping others succeed than Mark with GC Realty. His willingness to ensure that those around him are growing and are successful is incredibly refreshing and appreciated. Thank you
Jeffrey Maynard
I have been doing business with GC for about 4 years now. Mark and his team are great at follow through. They are very engaged with renters and insuring rents are collected in a timely fashion. Very Impressed. I am on my 5th property with them and will definitely be acquiring additional properties. JM
dan luif
GC Realty is one of the best property management companies in the Chicagoland. Knowledgeable , friendly and responsive. Mark and the GC Realty team provide value to any chicagoland real estate investor.
Colett Gagnon
My sisters and I used GC Realty when it came time to sell my mom's home after she passed away and Michelle Lawler came, listened to the four of us and answered all of our questions! She gave ideas for staging, hired a professional photographer for the listing pictures and negotiated the best price for us. We had an offer in 10 days. I have recommended Michelle and GC Realty to anyone looking to sell their home.
Kevin Longeuay
Have had a great experience so far as a landlord with GC Realty. They stepped in on a property where I had an eviction since the tenant stopped paying rent and ended up leaving the place disgusting and damaged. GC was very quick in getting the house back in shape and back on the market. Very proactive which is comforting for an out of state investor.
Douglas Skipworth
I have known the GC Realty leadership team for several years through industry events. They are outstanding property managers and real estate professionals and first rate individuals. When we talk about the greater Chicago area, we always refer people to GC. They are the team we'll use when we buy property there!
Chris Hull
I am a property owner and I hired GC to manage a few rental units recently. My properties we're mismanaged, the tenants were unhappy and the previous management company left me in hot water with the cities by neglecting to register my properties. Mark and GC jumped right in. They worked with each city to resolve issues. GC affordably repaired the units which needed work and restored the relationships with my existing tenants. All of this took place in just over one month. Their customer service is great - they respond to all my questions very quickly. It's obvious they have systems in place. I'm very impressed with Mark and his team.
Sam Abey
Didn't get the chance to actually hire GC Realty & Development because I ended up selling my home but I did get the chance to sit down with them in my kitchen and learn all about the company and what I could expect as a client. GC was ultimately a backup plan and a secondary option to selling and they were fine with that and helpful beyond what I expected. If you are looking for a property manager at least take the time to sit down with GC yourself.
Daniel Brown
Best property management company bar none. I have homes across multiple states, and no one else comes close to looking out for both the investor and the tenant interests. Day to day, Kyle takes superb care of me and my investments - outstanding!
Edgar Diaz
Mark is a true professional in his industry, and his team is a further extension of that care and professionalism. They are Chicago south side experts and have a strong presence in their communities. You won't find better service or people anywhere else in the city. They deliver results!
Megan Kell
I've had the honor of working directly with Mark Ainley, Bill Palmer and the entire GC realty team for the better part of a decade now. They strive for client satisfaction and really go above and beyond to deliver it. If you're looking for a management company for your property in the Chicago Land area, look no further. GC Realty has the relationships to ensure your investment is handled with the utmost care, and both you and your tenant get the most out of your rental. Their dedication to service really mirrors that of Abt, which makes this a great partnership.
Joseph Ward
As important as it is finding an investment property at a good price, finding a capable and trustworthy property manager to help you run it is next in line. Mark, Brian and the rest of the GC R&D team are honest, efficient and knowledgable in all aspects of real estate and property management. Whether you need help determining if a property is a smart buy, you are looking to replace your current property manager (or yourself), or just about anything else that come with investment real estate, GC R&D is a company you can depend on.

Was recommended to Mark by my broker to gain some perspective and knowledge on CHA/Section 8 tenants. Mark was extremely experienced in this area and in the tenant friendly Chicago market. Would highly recommend him to anyone dealing with Section 8 tenants.
Kaila Townsend
Bryan was absolutely amazing he had all my questions answered before I knew I had questions lol he helped me find an AMAZING location for my food business, honestly could not have picked a better spot. Thanks Bryan and GC Team. If you are looking for a company that is knowledgeable, professional, based on good values and amazing team to help might as well stop looking because you won’t find anyone or any team better than Bryan and Team.
Slaven Istuk
Working with Mark and his team was a great experience for me. I learned a lot from them. Their professional attitude and know how helped me grow in a personal and professional way. Kudos to CG Realty team!!!
Daniel Denon
I connected with Mark a few months ago and he’s been incredibly helpful and gracious with his time ever since. He’s been willing to take the time to chat with me on a couple of occasions and to answer my questions whenever I’ve had them. I had the opportunity to hear him speak at a meetup last week and his presentation was great. Mark is definitely a wealth of knowledge when it comes to real estate investing and the Chicagoland market.
tony angelos
Mark is one of the brightest and most informing property managers in Chicago. He is always my go to recommendation for PM services and is an encyclopedia of knowledge. You're doing yourself a disservice by not working with him.
Zachary Palmer
Working with Bill and GC Realty has been a great rental experience. They have always been very reliable and always helpful. The company has also always been very consistent and done so in a very timely manner. Great experience and would definitely recommend
Katie Atkins
My husband and I have worked with Kristine Eisenmann on numerous occasions, and we were incredibly pleased with her tenacity and service. Her willingness to show us multiple properties ensured that we found the best home to fit our needs. She made the rental process easy and we would (absolutely!) recommend her to anyone in need of renting or buying a new home.
David Kimmerly
Very impressed with the level of service and value I'm receiving from the team at GC Realty & Development. They're providing more than piece of mind in getting my properties earning for me...I dont know how I would be able to manage everything without their support. From intial setup of my account to quick questions, they've been extremely responsive and professional. Thanks everyone!
Dr. Ray Yeung
8/17/19 Review update:
A year+ later, I've been working with my property manager Tariq. Tariq is definitely a diamond in the rough. And I do mean that literally and figuratively, in terms of the ROUGHNESS of the neighborhood(s) in which my propertys' are located and the expert skill required to oversee and property manage them. I have hit a lot of rough patches and challenges dealing with the properties, the tenants, and last but not least...the not so-forgiving City of Chicago (don't get me started here). Although my luck and obstacles from property ownership has been challenging and less than ideal for me, Tariq has been reliable, on the ball, and has been quick to go to bat for me in terms of working with his management team to make sure I am getting taken care of and stay 'in the loop' with things. For this reason, I am still confidently happy in my decision to stay with GC despite the difficulty it has been in owning rental propertes in Chicago.
I seldom if ever write Google reviews or reviews of anything for the matter, but it would be a great disservice to Mark and his hard-working team at GC Realty if I didn't share this honest review with the Google world. I've held 10 units across 4 properties in Chicago as investment properties from a 'turn-key' provider who was anything but turn-key. This company utilized every tool under their belt to convince me to stay them, with empty promises that their systems would improve, their staff would shape up, and the property would be stabilized and perform. About 3 years and tons of repairs, vacancies, city issues, and deferred maintenance later, I'm reduced to shambles and only 2 out of my 10 units are effectively collecting rent. My rental properties have grown to be a source of frustration, anger, and bitterness. I lost trust and respect for my property managers.
When I spoke with Mark many months prior, he impressed me by taking immediate action the very next day he helped me by driving by the property on his own, to see that the property was not only unsecured by my current 'property management' but that the walls were gutted, mold damage was abundant, and sewage was seeping everywhere. He walked through the filthy putrid muck himself JUST so he could record a detailed video and commentary to send to me. This is BEFORE I even committed to asking him for his professional services or provided any form of monetary payment. Finding my property in this condition, as you can guess, was my worst possible nightmare that would have been averted with a responsible management team. Let this be a lesson to you out there, that TRUST and RESPECT are earned, never demanded. That very day, Mark's actions spoke far louder than any other words my past PM has been promising for the past 3 years. He earned my trust and my respect, as well as my business.
I have a long, arduous road ahead of me, but I'm doubtlessly confident that Mark and his team will handle the situation with ownership and care, and diligence and communication that I've been desperately devoid of with my current management team. Do yourself a favor and please consider Mark's team at GC Realty, they'll keep it real and won't sugar coat things unnecessarily and throw out false promises, but will also take care of you like family.
If you are still on the fence about Mark or GC Realty, his commitment to earning your business, or about the great lengths he will go to bat for you, check him out at the website Bigger Pockets. com. Search his name. He is a local authority and expert who knows his stuff better than anyone else in this challenging space, and provides tons of value, insight and wisdom to help people like me and you.

We worked with Ian recently on finding a salon space. He was very responsive and professional. He was able to answer any questions we had and went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed along the way. We wouuld recommend going with Ian, you won't be disappointed.
Kristen Ewen
The GC Realty Team is extremely responsive and professional. They have been a pleasure to work with. Mark is truly and expert in real estate investing and the Chicagoland area!
Nancy Sundberg
I have had nothing but a great experience with GC Realty. Not having rented an apartment in 40 years, I didn't know what to expect when I had a maintenance issue and contacted the company for repair service. They responded immediately, and sent a technician who couldn't have been nicer or more professional.
Renee Macri
Mark, it has been a pleasure working with you and your team over the past five years at RentScreener. Your professionalism and responsiveness makes it easy to work with you all at GC Realty & Development.
Brendan McElhaney
Mark has been wonderful to work with! He's a great source of knowledge and always willing to go above and beyond what is asked of him. Wether using him on the brokerage, PM, or investment side, he's as good as it gets!
Couldn't recommend him highly enough!
Stephen Ainley
We purchased a home from GC Realty & Development in 2015 and the service I received was priceless. Being my first home they walked me thru the home inspection process, appraisal, and referred me to a great lender. Today, I still live in the home but now with about $40,000 equity because GC advised me on a being more strategic in my purchase for long-term wealth. We would refer them to anyone looking to buy a home or investment property.
Shobhan Thakkar
I have worked with GC Realty and Bill Palmer as my property manager for the past three years. My experience has been great. I would recommend them to anyone looking for property management in the future in the Chicago land area.

GC manages my property in logan square and they've been great from start to finish. No complaints whatsoever.

Mark Ainley at GC Realty has a vast amount of real estate knowledge. He really knows what he is talking about, and his company is very well run. I would highly recommend working with GC Realty!

Mark, with GC Realty & Devel, has been a wealth of information and truly passionate about helping us succeed. He’s always open to discuss our business and offers ideas to help us grow in the right direction while steering us clear of any potential pitfalls. We look forward to growing with Mark and the team these next few years.
Halsey Embree
Mark, has been a catalyst in my investing journey. Even though I self manage for now in due time my entire portfolio will be managed by GC. I look forward to the years of continued prosperous investing in and around Chicago with Mark in my corner.
Dan Mosca
Excellent customer service, very responsive and fast. They have a great understanding of the industry and have been a great information resource whenever needed! I would recommend them to any investor regardless of tenure!
Frank Patel
Michelle, Daniel, Mark, and Laura have all done a phenomenal job in getting our property rented out quickly! We needed someone trustworthy who could manage the entire process from property cleaning, photography, to finding the renter, verifying background/income, etc. We are incredibly thankful for the way they've managed this process and made it completely seamless. Thank you!!
Hannah Laffoon
I have just started learning about the real estate business, Mark has been a huge help to me. He has offered me lots of advice and is willing to answer any questions. I have appreciated his kindness and willingness to help.
Eric Workman
Mark Ainley and his team at GC Realty are truly the best in the business when it comes to scattered site management of Single Family Rentals. honest, timely communication, intense vetting of tenants, clear reporting, and easy to get ahold of for both property residents and property owners. I refer them as much as possible.
Leslie Voegtlin
Excellent people! Mark has been extremely helpful in referring me to quality vendors. This is above and beyond as I am not yet a client. I look forward to working with GK Realty in the future.
Allison Disarro
This is a REPUTABLE, KNOWLEDGABLE & PROFESSIONAL company. You cannot beat them in this area. Their reputation is astounding in not just their area but also in their National industry peer associations, because the do the job with integrity and it is important to them that their employees are happy, their team is up to date on all RE laws and that their clients assets are protected. 5 stars!
Eric Thiele
I've had several interactions with co-founder Mark Ainley.
And he's the real deal. Sincere, helpful (HUGE amounts of help, actually) and exudes Integrity, a "Get it DONE" attitude & EXPERTise in all things Real Estate. He's been around the block (twice...) and in true Chicago tradition... "he's got a guy"
Mark goes above & beyond my expectations.
And I'm guessing the rest of GC Operation reflects those same values.
I'm working on building a portfolio of rental props in greater Chicago - and I will absolutely place those properties under GC's management.
Heh!... reach out to me - or Mark - if you're selling a portfolio!!
Alana Sullivan
Had a few questions when I was getting started on my journey with GC realty. I went onto their website and I chatted with Madison and she was able to answer all of my questions. I can’t wait to continue my working relationship with GC Realty!
George Macina
Always enjoy working with commercial broker Jeff Piser. He has put me in 2 buildings over the past several years and always represents my best interests. I can always count on him to get me information quickly and is responsive day and night.
Laura Smith
GC Realty & Development, LLC has not only assisted me with all of my real estate needs, they also manage multiple investment properties that I own. They handle everything from rent collection to finding the perfect tenants for my properties. By acting as the direct liaison between me and my tenants, I eliminate the headache of everything from late night maintenance phone calls to rent collections. Once a tenant has given notice that they will not be renewing their lease, their Maintenance team goes in and assesses the property and communicates with me what needs to be done to repair/spruce up so that they can once again market and rent the property for the highest price the market can bear. I also work closely with their team on larger scale projects that increase the value of my properties. Here is the suburbs of Chicago, there is only one company I would trust to do all of this for me and that's GC.
Lisa T (Ms. Lisa)
I used the tenant portal to request a maintenance job for my bathroom. When I say that the tech was professional from the beginning to end. I mean from the beginning to end. I recieve a call when he entered my home and left. He came one day and finished the next day. He respected my home as if it were his own and cleaned his mess when he was done. I came home anticipating cleaning behind him but he had wiped off all dust, sweep the floor and emptied his trash. I was able to come home and run the most relaxing bath. I'd recommend that tech to anyone. Great Job GC Realty on choosing the best service workers for your tenants.

Kristine Eisenmann definitely has a passion for real estate. She is very knowledgeable and has worked with some of the best and most experienced agents to get to where she is at. This company is serious about your needs and Kristine is definitely a good agent to have on your side when you have a question about buying and selling.
Donald Leopardi
This organization is at the Top of their game. They know what they are doing and they do it very very well. In particular Michelle Lawler since day one has gone above and beyond taking ownership to make sure I was never left in the dark and acted as a key liaison to ensure a positive landlord and tenant relationship. If you want your investment protected trust me when I say you will not be disappointed. Thank You Michelle and the GC Reality team for the positive stress free experience.
Melissa B
GC Realty & Development has proven to be one of the leading management companies in the Chicagoland area. Their management style is far superior compared to other companies out there. Much kudos to Laura for helping us get through the move in process so smoothly!
pierre varnado
I have used a few different reality companies and I have to say GC realty has been one of the best companies I have used.The leasing agent April was AMAZING!!!! was very friendly , professional ,helpful and knowledgeable.I have already referred my family and some of my friends.
Danny Atkins
We worked with Kristine Eisenmann to find a larger condo, and she delivered! We needed it to be on the first floor (due to the fact that we have dogs) and she worked diligently to find us a place that was both pet friendly and accommodating. She made the entire process easy from start to finish.
Aaron Palmer
Very well run organization. They have an onboarding process that helps you get acclimated to their workflow. Mark, Tariq and Michelle have helped protect my investment by leveraging their local knowledge and connections. They assist with all aspects of the property, I could not be more pleased with the service.
Cynthia Rosenfeld
I wanted to take a minute to express my delight at working with GC Realty & Development, and SPECIFICALLY with our manager Tariq Rana. When we bought the house, there was a tenant in there, and the were some complications with the seller, and with the rent process. Tariq took control, figured out all of the pieces to the puzzle, and gave us a smooth transition. There very easily could have been a very rocky transition, but Tariq did not let that happen. In addition to being very efficient and professional, Tariq is fantastic to work with on a day to day basis. He returns phone calls and emails promptly, he always knows what is going on with our property, he is always able to answer our questions. Investing out of state is hard. Tariq makes is so much easier. We are SO LUCKY to be working with him. We look forward to a long and productive relationship with GC Realty & Development.
Brie Schmidt
Mark Ainley and GC realty are incredibly reliable and really set the bar high. I have have had tons of experience with them over a 7 year period and they are upfront, honest, and follow through with what they say they are going to do. You couldn't find a better PM company
Shaquille Upshaw
Investor Review: I am an out of town investor, not native to Chicago. Without Mark's help, I would've invested in the absolute worst parts of Chicago. I simply just reached out to Mark, after reading a Bigger Pockets article he wrote 3 YRS AGO. 24 hours after reaching out to Mark for assistance navigating the South Side of Chicago, he gave me insight not only into the neighborhoods but the individual blocks in the each neighborhood. DO NOT invest a penny in South Side Chicago until you go over your strategy with Mark.
Raymond Wright
Damaris , was a phenomenal help for me. I called because I can't make it in and she took the time to answer every question in such a professional and courteous manner. She made sure that I was able to navigate the company website just in case I had more questions during after hours. And while I have yet to settle on a realty firm to help me manage my property, she has personally ensured that your company is at the top of my list.
Zak Marinko
Mark is very responsive and cares about his customers and the area his company manages. He is actively working to help other people improve their current situation through teaching and managing effectively.
claudia rodriguez
Mark has tons of great insight and knowledge to share with new and experienced investors. I strongly suggest to listen to his podcast, join any webinar he’s in, and take some notes!

Cliff Vieira
Solid remodelers, know their market sales and rent pricing well, very understanding and flexible working through issues. Bryan has been incredibly helpful and responsive, addressing all my concerns quickly. The only reason I didn't give them a 4 star was due to past PM issues. Guy has been assigned to me now for a couple months, and really has turned things around. I'm looking forward to updating this to a 5 star soon!
Jake Raul
Mark and his team have been great during the entire investment acquisition process. I could not be happier with their diligence and guidance throughout the remodel as well.
Thank you!
Xavier Rios
It was a great experience speaking with Damaris. Not only did she answer all the questions I had with patience she also went above and beyond in giving me more than what I asked for. Her grace and well spoken manner just blew my mind. I was a little difficult but she really held her own and made me the happiest client. Thank you Damaris for your amazing service. Hands down the best I’ve ever encountered.
Martin Shasho
Ian Pattison is flat out the best broker!!! Super professional and instantly found me everything I need it. I definitely recommend GC Realty… definitely ask for Ian!!!

Moving is one of the biggest pains in the neck in the world and no one likes it. But Kristine Eisenmann was so helpful with all her hard and dedicated work she put in from start to finish to get me into my place in no time! If you need a great realtor that has a lot of dedication towards her work and you as an experienced home buyer or a rookie home buyer she’s the one to have helping you! She will get things done in a quick and efficient time and make sure that all the stress is gone off your shoulders. You can never go wrong with her help!

Amit Mehta (TechVoo)
(Current GC Client) for property management of our portfolio of properties. They are proactive, don't drop the ball, and are usually waiting on us rather than the other way around. We had another less capable PM before this, and the positive difference is a welcome one.

Jim G
I have had a tenant in my Naperville townhome for 4 years now and the tenant left the place in a condition far worse then "normal wear & tear". Mark and his maintenance team helped put in place a 10 day plan to get the place painted, new flooring, address a punch-list of items, and a good cleaning all to get back on the market right away so I am not wasting time with it sitting vacant. Thanks to the GC team I didnt have the large distraction personally that I thought this turnover would cause. We will use them going forward.
Jeremy Pound
GC Realty is one of the most organized and professional management companies I have worked with. Their people are smart, fun and helpful... and unbelievably responsive!
Jonathan Roberts
These guys have truly gone above and beyond the call of duty in every single transaction I've ever had with them over more than a decade! I actually can't think of an organisation in any industry I've had better dealings with where they haven't given me the runaround, haven't given me push back, and have met their commitments both in the spirit of doing it as well as the practice than GC Realty; simply put, they kick butt!
Taty Medina
I called earlier today with questions about summer rentals. So much stress was lifted off my shoulders while talking with a woman named Damaris. She was so kind and understanding, best customer service I've experienced by far!
