REJournals.com - Commercial Real Estate Property News for Chicago and the Midwest

What makes a commercial real estate Hall of Famer? How about smarts, talent and hard work? How about a willingness to do whatever it takes to provide top service to clients, or an uncanny ability to close deals that look as dead as can be?

The men and women featured in the most recent issue of Midwest Real Estate News have all of these qualities. It’s why they truly are the leaders in what is frequently a frustratingly competitive and challenging industry.

In December, Midwest Real Estate News ran its first Hall of Fame issue, a special edition highlighting the careers of the most accomplished commercial real estate professionals in the Midwest. Commercial stars from every state in the Midwest were featured. We are especially proud of this issue, as we think it provides a host of lessons to every broker, developer, commercial real estate attorney or other industry professional who wants to be a Hall of Famer, too, one day.

Here is a list of the 60 inductees of our first Hall of Fame issue. Midwest Real Estate News will be running these profiles online throughout the year.
