Bob Strauss | Real Estate Investor | 7-Eleven Franchise | | Business Mentor. Steve Rapoport earned and maintained my confidence starting day 1. He was dedicated, diligent and provided a steady hand in marketing and assisting in negotiations. He provides a wonderful balance of technical expertise along with strong people and communication skills. My building was marketed towards the upper end of the fair price range and he sold it at the asking price. If asked, Id highly recommend Steve.

Steven Rapoport has done an absolutely amazing job! We recently listed and sold two multi-family apartment buildings and working with Steven has proven to be the right choice. Providing excellent market research data, taking the time to sit with us and professionally handling the back and forth negotiations has resulted with a successful sale and a very agreeable sale price. In addition, he was able to work it out so that we closed both building sales on the same day!! Steven has proven that he has the knowledge and experience to get things done. We highly recommend Mr. Steven Rapoport to anyone looking for an extremely professional and skilled commercial broker who also has the ability to make you feel comfortable though these real estate transaction processes.

I've had the pleasure of working with Steve Rapoport, in various capacities, for over 10 years. Steve's market knowledge and professionalism is impressive, regardless of if he's working as listing agent, buyer's agent or guiding a client through a complex commercial lease. I recently sold a Bucktown property for top dollar. Steve not only negotiated a win-win deal with the buyer, he worked closely with the appraiser to ensure proper valuation. All parties were ecstatic when the property successfully closed. In the current market, it's essential to have a realtor on your side who knows just as much about running a profitable real estate portfolio as buying the right properties. I'm thrilled to have found Steve. He truly looks out for the best interests of his clients. I look forward to working with him on future deals.
