We had another flawless experience with Jim Flanders, this time while selling the same home he…read morehelped us buy 6 years ago. We have kept a great relationship with Jim through the years, and my husband has worked with him on buying and selling some of our investment property. So when it came time to sell our city home in Logan Square as we made the move to the suburbs, we knew Jim Flanders was the one to help us do this. We were building a new construction home in the burbs, so we had a lot of lead time in knowing that we needed to list the property. This was a tricky balance since we didn't want to list the home too quickly (and risk selling it and being homeless for many months until our new house was ready), but we didn't want to miss the peak market season during the summer months and wait until the fall or winter to list it. We also have 2 toddlers at home, so the idea of having to keep the house "showing ready" for an extended period of time was daunting. In a perfect world, we would be able to get under contract quickly with a buyer, but negotiate a later close date and get the best of both worlds. Jim helped us do a walkthrough of the house and pointed out the things he recommended we do to get the house in showing form (painting the walls, caulking some areas, clearing out toy congested areas) but only focused on what he felt would actually make a difference rather than asking us to invest a bunch of money in things that ultimately do not help sell quicker or at a higher price. Jim helped guide us in our timing, thanks to his knowledge and understanding of the market. We listed on a Wednesday in July, and decided to have an open house that very weekend. Jim came and managed the open house for us and the first couple to see the home made an offer that same day. They did not have a real estate agent, and Jim led all the conversations directly with the buyer and negotiated the terms and conditions for the contract. He was able to negotiate a 90 day closing, which gave us plenty of time to stay in our home and enjoy it before needing to vacate. The best quality about Jim Flanders is his easy going personality and honest approach. He always has your back and wants the best for you. But he is not pushy. He will not talk you into doing yourself a disservice just to get a quicker commission. He truly wants to advise you and guide you to get the best results possible and his patience is incredible. He will be there as many times as you need him for as long as you need him, to make sure everything goes smoothly. It was one thing for us to have the utmost trust in Jim, but the most impressive thing was how much the buyers also trusted Jim. They opted not to get their own real estate agent and were fine working directly through Jim (even though he was representing us, the sellers) because they also could feel that Jim had everybody's best interests at heart. This is where Jim Flanders really sets himself apart from other realtors I've worked with. He forms relationships, not just with his clients, but with the opposite clients as well. He took time to have many phone conversations with the buyers to put them at ease, talk through the inspection findings, and negotiate our terms. They trusted him so much that when it came time to close, they didn't even ask for a final walk through of the house before closing. We couldn't have asked for a smoother and less stressful process of selling our home. We got the price we wanted, the closing date we wanted, and all the negotiations and conversations were easy and friendly.

We cannot recommend Jim more highly. He is a consummate professional, honest, thoughtful and…read moreoutrageously knowledgeable about the Chicago property market. We took the plunge this year and started the search for our first home. Jim was incredibly generous with his time working with us, and helped us figure out what we actually wanted and where we would be happy. In May, Jim showed us a home we fell in love with and he guided us through every step of the process, from winning the bid, inspections, closing and held our hands every step of the way. Knowledge and professionalism aside, Jim is just a legend and we just enjoyed hanging out with him and having the chats at showings. The second we get a sniff that any of our friends or people we meet are looking to buy, we instantly stop the conversation to tell them 'YOU HAVE TO WORK WITH JIM FLANDERS'. Thank you Jim.

My rental application experience with Baird & Warner was deeply frustrating. My family and I toured…read morea property in December 2025 and submitted a complete application to Kevin Beallis. We were told, "Another applicant came through, so we'll let you know," and were passed over. Two weeks after that, we were contacted and asked if we were still interested. We said yes, and only then were told there was "missing rental verification" (even though we had already supplied that to Kevin directly, and he confirmed receipt) and that we needed to reapply and pay new application fees--$75 per applicant plus $25 for ESA verification--even though charging duplicate application fees appears to violate Illinois HB 4926. We reapplied anyway because we didn't want to lose the house. Communication was slow, inconsistent, and updates only came after repeatedly contacting the office. The owner of the property requested a double security deposit, which we agreed to, and then we received written confirmation from Kevin that our offer was accepted. That same day, Brett Kendrick told us, "Another applicant came through, so we'll let you know." After nearly a month of delays, shifting terms, repeated reopenings of the process, and additional fees, we withdrew and requested a refund, which was denied. Beyond the financial impact, this process cost us significant time and emotional distress. As a rental property owner myself, this was the most unprofessional exchange I've had. Renters should be aware that even if you apply, and qualify, and are approved, nothing is final.

I moved into a garden-level (basement) unit managed by GC Realty & Development in October 2025…read more While maintenance requests were generally responded to quickly, many of the underlying issues were never properly resolved, resulting in repeated problems throughout my tenancy. Within the first few weeks of moving in, my apartment flooded. Maintenance responded, but the issue was never fully corrected, and the unit flooded two additional times within the same year. During one incident, a plumber attempted to rod the sewer line, but a City of Chicago employee who responded advised that the equipment being used was too small for the job. This information was reported to management, but no additional action appeared to be taken. During severe storms in the spring and summer of 2026, the building lost power for approximately a day and a half. Because the sump pumps were electrically powered and no backup battery system had been installed, I was unable to use the bathroom facilities and had to leave the apartment. The lack of a backup system created significant inconvenience and concern. The unit also experienced multiple water intrusion issues. Water leaked into the rear of the apartment, and I was informed there was a large hole in the roof that had not been repaired. As a result, water stains developed in several areas of the unit, including the bedroom, bathroom, and kitchen. Additional leaks from an upstairs unit caused water damage in my bathroom and kitchen. There were electrical outlets located near some of the areas affected by water intrusion, which raised safety concerns. The apartment contained a whirlpool bathtub, but the jets did not function because they had been disabled. The tub itself was stained and unusable for its intended purpose. Many fixtures and building systems appeared outdated, including the HVAC system. An inspector who visited before the building was sold confirmed that airflow throughout the apartment was inconsistent due to the age of the system. Certain rooms remained cold in the winter and difficult to cool during the summer. Also to mention the windows has not been updated since the building has been built (2009). The outside of the windows is rotting out at the bottom. They put cauking on the outside to stop the draft instead of replacing the whole thing. The property's exterior also presented concerns. The front metal staircase and rear porch exhibited extensive rust. Rather than replacing the entire structure, only the walking surface panels were replaced. Residents reported concerns about the condition of these structures. Additionally, the electric gate serving the rear parking area stopped functioning and remained unresolved despite being reported. Approximately three to four months after moving in, the slats on a utility closet bi-fold door began falling out. I submitted a maintenance request asking that the door be repaired or replaced. Instead, GC Realty & Development charged my account $466 for a replacement door, alleging tenant-caused damage. When I requested proof that I had damaged the door, no evidence was provided. The only photographs supplied were prior move-in photos. I disputed the charge because I believed the issue resulted from normal wear and tear rather than tenant negligence. Another concern involved communication and tenant relations. It was often difficult to reach anyone with decision-making authority. Communication generally occurred through lower-level staff, and obtaining responses from supervisors or management was challenging. The property owners themselves did not directly communicate with tenants. Despite the unresolved maintenance issues throughout the property, GC Realty & Development attempted to increase my rent by approximately $120, mind you I'm already paying $1,980 for a garden apartment. Around the same time, my online rent payment portal was disabled because I disputed the $466 door charge. I have maintained stable employment for over 13 years and have consistently paid rent on time. August 2026 was the first month in which I was unable to make a payment, solely because access to the payment portal had been restricted. After the building was sold, I was informed by the new management that GC Realty & Development had recommended not renewing my lease, allegedly due to unpaid rent. However, the outstanding balance was directly related to the disputed charge and the disabled payment portal. Prior to this situation, I had no history of late rent payments during my tenancy. Overall, my experience with GC Realty & Development was disappointing. While maintenance requests were often acknowledged, recurring flooding, water damage, unresolved building issues, disputed charges, communication difficulties, and payment-related disputes created an ongoing pattern of frustration. Based on my personal experience, I would not recommend renting a property managed by GC Realty & Development. The Owners should be ashamed as well!! NISON & IRENA
