This year is off to an insane start for sales activity in Chicago's popular neighborhoods and suburbs. Buyer demand is strong, and supply cannot seem to keep up in those markets. Planning for 2021: Historically low interest rates, a vaccine on the horizon, and a seasonal market. In recent months Chicago's real estate sales market activity has surged, meanwhile its rental market has struggled.
Located just 15 minutes from the Loop, Wicker Park is a vibrant neighborhood where both old and new creative collide. This hot spot features a mixture of trendy restaurants, dive bars, vintage shops, hip coffee houses, small music venues, art galleries, and book and record stores. With access to The 606, Wicker Park Farmers Market, the park that gave the area its name, Wicker Park, there's always something to do from day to night.
Home to Chicago's largest park, DePaul University, and awe-inspiring historical architecture is Lincoln Park. This neighborhood is the perfect proximity from the Loop to the lakefront, offering many of the city's best bars and restaurants, upscale boutiques, cozy coffee shops, gorgeous parks, museums, and live theatres.

Matt was fabulous to work with. My son is moving back to Chicago from Atlanta and had only 2 days to find an apartment. Matt took him to different neighborhoods and different kinds of buildings all within the price range they spoke about. Success! Thank you Matt!!! Highly recommend.

Teddy was incredibly helpful in helping us find our new apartment. As first time renters in Chicago, we knew little about the neighborhoods and Teddy was able to steer us in the right direction given what we told him we were looking for. Teddy was very responsive, professional, and his knowledge was a huge asset to us. He asked questions of the property managers we didn't even think of, and gave us great advice. We are thrilled to have found the perfect apartment for ourselves with the help of Teddy and Peak Realty, and highly recommend their services!!

I worked with Matt Lowy from start to finish during the rental process. During the entire search endeavor through signing a lease, Matt was professional, courteous, responsive, and knowledgeable. His availability made a normally unpleasant process smooth. I look forward to working with Matt again in the future.

We had a good experience getting in touch with Ilina while moving to Chicago. Had a virtual apartment tour and got our questions cleared before we decided to move-in. The apartment was as expected and cleaned for move-in with minor issues. Maintenance requests are addressed on time with online requests; no complaints. So far, the experience has been great and we look forward to a fruitful stay. Thanks to the team :)

It was great to work with Charlmers. He was personable and communicated clearly. He was great at answering questions and responded in a timely manner. He made me feel comfortable throughout the application and move in process. I would definitely work with him again.

Cydney was great through the process of helping me get a lease signed at a property I was excited about. At one point after the initial showing, she was a bit short with me but I believe it's because there was an issue initially getting into the unit, ultimately probably setting her schedule behind. Other than the shortness after the showing, Cydney was extremely prompt, patient, and responsive to my messages and questions.

Our real estate broker, Matt Ayo, was very professional and very helpful every step of the way. The apartment is beautiful and everything that was advertised. The property manager is very responsive and the deal we got was very favorable. We don’t think we will be moving for this place for a long time. It’s perfect.

What an awful experience trying to just view an apartment with these people. I first contacted Matt Ayo who seemed great at first, only to find out he lied to me about when showings could happen for the unit I was interested in. Someone else was able to tour the unit during the time frame Matt said tours weren't allowed, which resulted in me loosing out on the unit. Matt's a child and horrible to work with. After confronting him about him not communicating clearly, he just stopped responding all together. He wouldn't even help me with other properties he might have available.

Alex Morsch was a great partner in finding me an apartment that I love! His insider knowledge of Chicago neighborhoods was very helpful. Alex was accommodating, open, transparent, and reliable throughout the whole process. If you need a professional and personal agent, I’d recommend Alex!

Carmen was a dream. I had started my search with little knowledge of what I needed, and from start to finish was presented with the best options. I could have been signed to a lease the day we met but she knew it wasn't right for me and presented the best possible option within three days. Carefully guided me through each step from the tour to the signature on the lease. This is someone you can trust.

Teddy was the best broker we could have asked for. He was professional, responsive to our concerns and wants, and most importantly he kept us on task through all of the distractions and excitement of looking for a new place. We toured several places and Teddy was able to organize the viewings efficiently and organized. He was asking questions to the listing agents that my girlfriend and I had not begun to even think to ask. We were therefore able to make the best decision knowing exactly what we were getting into thanks to Teddy. It was a pleasure having Teddy with us for the process and we would

I have been with Peak's for 5 years, and I have been very happy about my experience. For example, Ilina Ivanovska was super helpful in finding my living space in record time. I had to move from one of the units, and she did a wonderful job in helping find a new one that I absolutely love. She was so accommodating and very responsive. Moving between units in a short amount of time is stressful, but she made it so manageable. She did everything she could so that I could see as many options as possible, and really walked me through every step with care and enthusiasm. I am so grateful for her

Carmen Becker helped get me an amazing apartment!! Apartment hunting in Chicago can be a complete nightmare, but Carmen really helped make the process smooth. She was helpful, kind, and professional. She got back to me quickly and was upfront about the fees and requirements associated with the unit. Booked a showing swiftly and I was able to get approved the next day!! When it's time to move again I would definitely go back to working with her!

Cydney Stumpf made my post-covid apartment hunt a breeze. Without her I may not have found a place to live, and for that I owe her an eternal debt of gratitude. If I could give her 100 stars I would. She is a realty angel.

Cydney was an absolute pleasure to work with. She took her time to find apartments that met my needs and in the locations I have was most interested in, including non peak properties. She went above and beyond to make the rental process quick and painless. Within 24 hours I was signing a lease. I highly recommend her to anybody looking to rent!

Cydney S. was very helpful throughout the process! I had a lot of questions and she was always available to assist with that. Also during the showing, she was the only realtor that made me feel comfortable which really helped with my decision to apply for the apartment!

I had the honor of having Cydney Stumpf as my realtor. And let me just say that she was the biggest help out of many realtors I have come across. After searching far and wide, Cydney found us the perfect apartment in the most efficient way I have ever seen. She went above and beyond what any other realtor would. If you're looking to find a place I highly recommend Cydney. 11/10 would recommend!

Having to move, somewhat unexpectedly, especially during Covid, has been pretty stressful. Everything you find seems to be gone before you even have the opportunity to view it.

Cydney at Peak Realty helped turn a stressful situation into a positive one by helping me find the perfect place within my budget. Her professionalism, flexibility, and genuine concern for what I needed was refreshing.

I am now excited about moving into my new place!

Yohana worked with us on a unit that we were interested in renting, going so far as to take videos of the unit while we were remote. Although she was pleasant and responsive, the application process exposed numerous fees which were not previously identified in the discussion of apartment cost. It then came to light that the marketed pet fees weren't applicable and that the unit wouldn't allow pets.

This disclosure of pet fees which clearly weren't the fees as defined by the owner concern me about the rental practices of Peak Realty and Yohana clearly wasn't working closely

I worked with Oren to find my condo and he was very quick to respond to emails and listen to what I was looking for, making sure to stay within my budget. I met with Shane in the office and he helped me with all of my questions. The office has a very warm staff and I am happy I used this company to find my new home!
