    Eighteen year old smoke detector from condo building hallway that McGill manages.

    The smoke detectors in the buildings they manage are never replaced. There was a fire over the weekend in one of their properties. None of the smoke detectors in the hallways went off. Mostly because they were manufactured in 2005. They are supposed to be replaced every 10 years. Now that there has been a fire, they are running around replacing them before the fire chief notices it. Too late, though - several of the residents have reported it already.

    I had a great experience with GC Realty & Development!…read moreCatherine was very helpful and i would recommended to anyone looking for help finding a new home.

    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

    One star is more than REIS deserves at this point. We recently had a condo real estate transaction…read moreand REIS is the management company that was hired by the condo board. Charles Freitag, the owner of this company, was extremely irresponsible and negligent responding to our attorney's requests. Apparently, he is the only individual at REIS that was able to complete required documentation for the closing. We were informed he was out of town for almost two weeks, pushing back the closing date multiple times. As a former business owner myself, I always had to have a back up if I was out of town. This ensures customer satisfaction which in turn builds trust with your business. Our attorney began contacting REIS the day after the contract was signed. There was no response. Both the buyer and seller's attorneys as well as the lender for the buyer, and the real estate agents worked diligently to complete the transaction. Nothing could be completed until Charles completed the necessary documentation appropriately. One simple document was not completed correctly. We even contacted the condo board to see if there was something the President of the Board could to to expedite the closure, without success. The sale of this unit had multiple delays due solely to Charles' negligence. In addition to the frustration felt by the seller and buyer, who was ready to walk away from the sale, the multiple delays and inability to have another employee complete simple paperwork, cost both the buyer and seller thousands of dollars, in additional fees. We spent at least $3000 more to close on this unit strictly due to his negligence. The required document requested from the lender was a standard inquiry required by lenders. We attempted every avenue to get this property closed in a timely manner, without success. It is a shame that the owner of a management company is unable to delegate someone in the office to assist with responsibilities when he is out of town. I know that this is a multigenerational company, and it is disheartening that Charles is unable to conduct business honoring his families name.

    If I could give IH less than 1 star I would absolutely do so. Having been a tenant for the last 10…read moreyears, I am more than qualified to leave this review. Having been sued multiple times, you would think IH would do something to change the way it operates. Sadly, it has not. IH does in fact nickel and dime its tenants for EVERYTHING! I currently pay the following fees every month: $9.95 "administrative fee" which is apparently because the water bill is in IH's name. Hmmmm, I am more than capable of saving that $119.40/year and putting the water bill in my own name and paying it, as I do all my other utilities each month. Then there's the $9.95/month HVAC filter fee. What a joke. I certainly know of some HVAC filters that are less expensive than $9.95!! I am charged $30.00/month for a "smart home" fee. Now, a smart home is supposed to be a digital thermostat, which my home DOES NOT have and a keypad on the front door. Really... Come get your keypad, I'll save the $360/year and put my own keypad on the door. Now, I just received a lease renewal advising me that I have to pay $85/month for Comcast internet and cable. Excuse me! Who the hell is IH to tell me that I have to have cable, how much I have to spend for it, and with what provider? I don't have Comcast because much like IH, they have God awful customer service!!! Moving on to IH's contractors and repairs. Over the course of the decade I have lived there, the dishwasher has never worked, not since the day we moved in. Ever. I have requested maintenance twice. The first contractor came out, turned it on and said it works fine. To which I replied, simply because water starts, doesn't mean it cleans dishes. The second contractor actually made an effort, but the dishwasher still doesn't work. The bathtub spout leaks, the bathtub needs to be refinished...again, there are numerous minor issues all of which I handle myself - screen repairs, moldy siding, flaking paint on the exterior, fascia and soffit repairs needed, etc. because their contractors are awful. However, the biggest issue, the roof leaks, and has for years. Several roofing contractors have advised IH that the roof needs to be replaced and IH refuses to hear this. Instead of doing what needs to be done, they put a band aid on an arterial bleed, patched the drywall inside, painted it the wrong color and a year later, we are back to square one. The roof is again leaking IN THE EXACT SAME SPOT! This is how IH handles everything...half assed! When I advised them to come trim the overgrown trees hanging over the garage and tangled in the electrical lines, they told me no. I replied, that's fine, but when storm seasons comes, and the tree comes down, don't say you weren't warned. I trimmed everything myself. I am 56 years old, a retired contractor and I get on a ladder, chainsaw in hand because IH is a slumlord that cares about nothing more than collecting as much money as possible from its tenants at any cost. I am now attempting to speak to somebody about the lease renewal that was e-mailed to me. The lease renewal states to call XXXX at this number or email him at this address with any questions. The number is no longer valid and the email address comes back as no longer with the company. When you call the local office to speak to somebody, you get someone on the phone you can't understand asking you 100 questions who refuses to transfer you to a lease specialist. You may ask why I am tolerating this garbage. I am at a transitioning point in my life where I am paying off a great deal of debt and then looking to move out of Illinois, otherwise I wouldn't be. Fortunately, I can do most of my own repairs, and what I can't, my son can. I have an excellent attorney and will not let IH screw me out of a dime of my security deposit when I do leave. Future tenants beware.
