I needed an apartment in a hurry (5 days before a lease ended on April 31st). Amanda Woods was able to meet us early just one day after we first called Miller Real Estate. She was an absolute delight and a great representation of the rest of her firm. She was very responsive to any questions and concerns my roommate and I had (less than 1 hour after any text/call/email). She also guided us through the application process, making it clear and easy, and was more than understanding of our unconventional income. We're both college students making most of our money in summer internships and part-time jobs, so this understanding was SUPER important for us. read more

Do not rent any apartment that's run by Andrea Miller. They are unresponsive to any issue through phone call, text and emails. Miller tells you to make a portal request (that also goes ignored). They ended up blocking my number when I simply asked for my parking remote deposit back. It has been over a month since the end of my lease, and they never returned my money. Only after I posted a Google review, they said the parking remote was broken. How would I have moved my car out of a gated parking spot without a functioning remote? When living there, I had dirty water filling up my sink and overflowing onto the wooden floors due to a plumbing issue related to another unit in the building. It took Miller two weeks to send a plumber to fix the issue. I was putting towels down to avoid damage to the floors but the water was non-stop. I was washing my dishes in the tub for two weeks. As seen in the attached photos, I warned them that there would be inevitable water damage from this. I quickly noticed the water damage due to their delay in fixing the plumbing issue. I documented this in the portal with pictures. The portal request, texts, calls and emails went unanswered for months. When I finally got ahold of Andrea Miller on the phone, she told me that the water damage was my fault! She told me to contact my renters insurance, saying the repair was my responsibility! When I demanded flooring contractors to inspect the damage, the contractors laughed and said this was fully the responsibility of Miller management. The damage to my flooring was fixed TEN MONTHS after the plumbing issue. My rent was even raised during this time. See photos attached with dates to het a glimpse of how you will be ignored as a tenant. My lease over October 31st, and when I contacted them to return my deposit for the parking remote/ keys that I returned, they BLOCKED my number! Avoid this management nightmare at all costs. read more

I'm a current current resident, I don't typically write reviews, but this might be the only way to get any kind of response from this company. Communication with this leasing company is virtually nonexistent. They don't provide usable contact information--just a single phone number that leads to an automated message directing you to the resident portal, where they don't respond or resolve any inquiries submitted there. The phone line doesn't accept voicemails, and it simply disconnects. When I tried finding the "emergency phone line" listed in my lease, it didn't exist. Maintenance issues are similarly ignored. Residents are told to submit requests through the portal, but my requests went unanswered until I called repeatedly. Even then, the issues remain unresolved. The address wasn't registered as a residential location with any internet providers when I moved in, leaving me with no way to set up Wi-Fi and no updates from the company on what was going on. Upon move-in, the unit was unfinished, with missing trim, uninstalled wall hooks, missing lightbulbs, and an entryway stairway that remains incomplete. Sawdust and dirt from construction were also left behind. None of these issues have been addressed. I asked them to confirm in writing that the unfinished trim wouldn't result in move-out charges, but they've ignored me. Key aspects of the signed lease have also been blatantly violated. My unit includes a storage space, but I've not been assigned one or given a key. The stove was non-functional when I moved in--also a clear violation of the lease. Despite reporting this immediately, submitting multiple requests, and even threatening legal action citing renters' rights, the company has done nothing. I still don't have a working oven. There are additional unresolved issues, including: - I was promised a key fob for front door access, which I still haven't received. - I have no instructions on how to set up the call box for guest access. - I don't know where the residential mailboxes are, nor do I have a key to access it. As a result, I have no idea where my mail is being delivered. - Dumpster and recycling access is through a back door that locks behind you. I haven't been given a key to re-enter through that door. This company's lack of communication, accountability, and follow-through is astonishing. Every time I manage to reach someone, they either have no answers or pass the buck. Dealing with them feels like talking to a brick wall. At this point, I just want my questions and issues to be resolved. I wouldn't recommend this company to anyone. read more

Scheduled a viewing of an apartment. Was told someone would contact me day of. No one did. I reached out again to confirm that it was still happening. They said "you're still confirmed." Showed up and they double booked me with someone else. Never called to confirm with either of us. Other guy calls and they say "we reached out to confirm and you didn't respond." Neither of us got any call or text leading up to this point. I left after them being 15min late when they said it would be another 10+ minutes. Major red flag if they lie about something so simple. What are they going to lie about if something was wrong in the unit etc? All in all horrible experience and unprofessional. If you want to take time off work to have it wasted and not valued you should reach out to them. read more

Miller manages my two-flat. Always responsive to me. Explains everything clearly. Removes the headache and they are always transparent. You can trust your investment is safe here. MWBE owned and operated. read more

f I could give 0 stars, I would. DO NOT RENT FROM THIS COMPANY. While the commercial side of her business may have good reviews and she may treat those customers with respect, the residential is the worst experience. Please see google reviews for reference. There are no pleasant words to chose from in the dictionary when describing my experience with Andrea Miller, her company and her employees. (Jessica and Ana) My issues began very shortly after signing the lease; I noticed chunks missing from the bathroom doors clearly from an animal that was not mine. I sent her requests to repair the doors, I waited several months but was then dismissed stating her apartments are "as is," she will only make essential repairs and the repairs were not essential. There were numerous patches in the walls, I volunteered to paint the apartment to make it more presentable but, just wanted to deduct the amount of paint and supplies (262.37) from the rent, again I was denied. When I did deduct it from the rent, I was charged an ungodly amount of fees; $75 per month for every month I did not adhere to her crazy fees and notified she would pursue a judgment against me if I had not paid all fees now. When requesting repairs I was also met with retaliation against my son and threats for additional fees, she indicated he damaged a gate that had been damaged for months. This statement was against my son, came 3-4 hours after requesting repairs. She commented on his schedule, the hours of the morning he left the apartment not knowing he is a student athlete and football workouts begin at 5:30 a.m., not that his schedule is any of her business but again retaliation against a minor. After a few months of not responding to her requests for fees she has continued to charge, she had her maintenance men banging on my door at 7:30 a.m. on a Saturday morning to deliver a notice that she did not intent to renew the lease (which was dated for 2 weeks prior). She then blocked me from paying rent on the app so, I paid an additional $15 for a cashier's check and delivered my rent to her mailbox. I hired an attorney to communicate since it seemed impossible to discuss any matters with her, she then began applying attorney's fees to my account as well. In June, her employees began showing up at my apartment interrogating my neighbors inquiring what my work schedule is. The manager of the towing company showed up doing the same, inquiring the make/model of my vehicle; he stated that Andrea Miller instructed him to tow my car every single time it was parked in my assigned spot. At that time, I stopped paying rent timely due to the amount of threats I have been receiving and agreed to pay at the end of my lease (August 31). This is not an isolated incident she treats everyone in my building who requests repairs the same, to the point where they have hired their own maintenance men to avoid communication with her; my situation is small compared to theirs. Flooded basements due to negligence, mold on the walls, no access to a kitchen or running water for months. PLEASE DO NOT RENT FROM HER COMPANY. I an writing a review on google as well with all correspondence between myself and management and I am now involved in a suit where she named my son, a minor, apparently retaliation and threats against a minor weren't enough. I look forward to discussing all my concerns in court. read more

This place is a joke. They cant fix anything and will blame the tenants any chance they get. Avoid at all costs. They dont do building inspections and will let you move into an apartment that is dangerous and under code read more

I am a real estate developer and investor and my companies have been working with Miller Chicago since 2015. I can honestly say there is no more professional and organized property management/leasing company in the City. They are very knowledgeable and offer great advice to their clients, and their service is fast, efficient, and friendly. Andrea and Jessica specifically have helped me significantly with our retail leasing. I highly recommend Miller Chicago to both landlords and tenants alike. read more

I was looking for a new place to live because my lease was coming up. I saw the reviews on Yelp about Miller Chicago and had seen their signs in the neighborhoods I was interested in, so I decided to give it a try. I connected with Sondra, a vivacious go-getter. She met with me and listened to my wants and needs list for a new place. I mean, she really listened. What I wanted was what she wanted to find for me. She did not try to talk me out of anything, she was upfront and a 'real' person. I looked at a couple of places and then she told me that she had one she really wanted me to see. I walked in and she had done it. Ever single 'want' on my list was in this place. She set it all up and was just as excited for me as I was for myself. It means a lot to find your rental gem in the city. Sondra really loves her job and she should, she is excels at it and is a STAR. She communicates regularly through my preferred means of communication. She also understands that finding the right fit for someone is important....I think that is her goal, at least it was for me. I plan to do future business with Sondra and Miller Chicago Real Estate because they 'get' me and they care....I like that in a business. read more

I was recently looking for a new apartment last fall and was having a tough time finding everything I was looking for in one unit. I have a dog on top of that which is even more difficult! I enlisted the help of Ryan Grober of Miller Chicago Real Estate and was extremely satisfied with the service and attentiveness to my needs! I gave Ryan a list of things that were important to me, including safety, a dog friendly building, and a tight budget. Ryan put together a list of a few locations and made himself available to show them all in one day. He was very quick in responding to communication and even suggested some options on how to negotiate to get the best deal if signing a longer lease. I took his suggestion and ended up with a great place within my budget, that allows dogs (and has a ton of young peopel with dogs in the building as well), and in a great location that I would have not considered originally. I would definitely recommend Ryan as a broker and plan to use him again if I need ever need to move - but I love my place so I'm hoping that won't happen anytime soon. Thanks Miller Chicago! read more

It is my pleasure to recommend Andrea Miller, principal of Miller Chicago, for her capabilities in leasing commercial real estate. Andrea's extraordinary talents of client communication, identifying appropriate tenants and tireless efforts make her and her firm a very effective partner with our role as landlord. Andrea communicates with the tenant upfront on our leasing requirements and expectations, which allows me to negotiate more effectively with the prospective tenant and finalize a successful deal. Andrea successfully leased several very challenging office/retail suites for our property in Chicago. The building had only two tenants when we hired her firm and within a year it is 100% occupied with seven tenants. I credit Andrea's dedication, attention to detail and hard work for the success of our commercial building. read more

Let me start by introducing myself, I'm Greg Nagel of Ask Nagel Realty. Andrea helped lease my new home for my business at 1919 West Division. Since I am a broker myself, you can imagine that I had very high expectations and was very demanding of another broker who was putting together a deal for my business that I've been dreaming of forming for the last five years. This deal was somewhat complicated given it was a sublease, so there needed to be coordination between all three parties to make the deal work. Quite simply, Andrea is a great communicator and she busts her ass for her clients. She was able to manage a three negotiation, built consensus, and make the deal. I highly recommend Andrea Miller to any landlord or tenant looking for commercial space! read more

Top notch team of professional real estate agents. I worked with Andrea Miller Lyons, she really took the time to understand the vision I had for my business and helped me find the adequate space and location to meet my needs. You earned a lifelong customer in me! read more

When I was looking for a space for my office for Lincoln Park Nannies Agency and also in the same time looking for a cool location for my father's art/jewelry gallery I found Andrea Miller/Miller Chicago Real Estate. Immediately Andrea showed us 4 spaces that fit our description and explained all the benefits of each and how we could even set up the space! She was beyond friendly, professional, helpful, and quick in regards to getting papers signed and done to get us in the space that we chose! In the end we were so excited and I was really surprised on how smooth the process was. I recommend Miller Chicago Real Estate to all of my friends and I know if we ever need a change in space we will be calling them again. read more

Worked with Andrea and Michael of Miller Chicago to get our real estate needs met, and without question they were met! They were extremely professional and expedited the whole process in an excellent manner! I had looked for a space prior to Miller and there was nothing but let down after let down. After an initial meeting with Andrea/Michael to go over what I was in need of, they ended up helping secure in 3 weeks what the other realtor couldn't do in 9 months and it was the exact same situation. Highly, Highly recommend Miller Chicago! read more

I was desperate to find an apartment asap and Andrea really saved my day. She was quick to return emails and phone calls and got me in very quickly to see the perfect unit for me.

My roommate and I were looking for our first apartment and we did not even know where to start. We were lucky enough to get connected with Ryan Grober, and he made the search process fast and easy ! He was always in constant communication with us on a daily basis, and really listened to what we were looking for in an apartment. He accommodated our meeting times with our busy schedules and was honest with us throughout the entire process. He treated us like friends, rather than just another client. We would recommend Ryan to anyone looking for real estate. read more

My two roommates and I were looking for a three bedroom in the Lincoln Park/Lakeview area, and were having a hard time finding anything that had everything we wanted but was also still in our price range.

I would recommend Ryan and Miller Chicago Real Estate to anyone in need of a Chicago area real estate expert. read more

I just completed a short sale of my property in Chicago with the help of Jonathan Wolman from Miller Chicago. He guided me through the process every step of the way and was always available by phone. The short sale process requires a thorough attention to detail and expert knowledge which Jonathan was able to provide. I am truly grateful that I was able to work with a consummate professional. A short sale is not easy, but Jonathan's compassion, perseverance, and diligence definitely made the process run smoothly. If I could give him 10 stars I would. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! read more

Unfortunately we purchased a home through Miller and John Mattson. This was one of the homes that John has overseen for rehab. Within 5 months, the AC didn't work and it was not covered under home warranty due to "installation error". We had two separate contractors come from the home warranty company and a third that we paid out of pocket to have inspect the issue. We ended up having to do major work to the tune of tens of thousands of dollars on the house to re-do the poor and out of code work that was completed on our "gut rehab". I would not recommend John or the real estate services he provides. Less than 6 months from buying a "new gut rehab" we spent 20K to fix something that should have been done correct the first time. And when we reached out to him - he didn't respond. Poor service. Poor workmanship and no ethical commitment to stand behind work. read more

The positive interactions I had with Miller Chicago were all that you would expect from a top rated and well-awarded firm: demonstrations of professionalism, truly going above-and-beyond, and clear communication. I trust that they will take the time to give you all the sides of a deal, good and bad, just to make sure that you have all the information. read more

They are fantastic! Very responsive, and agents follow up immediately. I was extremely satisfied with my experience, and recommend to anyone looking to buy or rent! read more

While I was looking for a place for my new boutique, I was having trouble finding an agent to help me...until I found Andrea. She was so attentive, knowledgeable, kind, and worked hard to find me exactly what I needed. it was truly a pleasure to work with her and I would recommend her to everyone! Should I need another place in the future, I will definitely call Miller Chicago. read more

My fiance and I recently moved to Chicago and we were so thankful to have found Sondra from Miller Chicago Real Estate. She worked with us to help us find the best place within our budget. For the same price as we pay now, we were looking at out-dated apartments with no amenities, until we met Sondra. She found us a unit that was had everything on my check-list and more! It's completely renovated, very spacious, hardwood floors, stainless steel appliances, washer dryer in-unit, gated parking, balcony, and in a safe neighborhood close to the city. We've lived here now for about 3 months and we couldn't be happier! We'll definitely be recommending Sondra to our friends. read more

I was looking to move to Chicago from Columbus, OH to transfer to graduate school at IIT. I eventually found my future apartment through a Craigslist ad for a building that just happened to be managed by Andrea Miller and her company - and I'm glad it was. I didn't have any means of looking at the place from a distance before I signed the lease, but Andrea understood. They made sure I saw plenty of photos (also thanks to the tenant at the time who I spoke with as well) and helped me through each step of the lease process from afar. Being a student, I needed a co-signer and they walked me through that as well. When Andrea couldn't contact me herself, she put me in contact with her very competent assistant Amanda. I got several texts and calls just to check in and make sure I doing ok with the paperwork. The process could've been a lot more stressful, but it helped feeling like they genuinely cared about me. Not to mention, Amanda checked in with me on moving day just to make sure I had gotten the keys and that the process was going smoothly. Thanks to them, I have a great place to live in my new city of Chicago! read more
