Chicago Condo Company Owner

OwnACondo.com has gone through a number of changes over the years, but nothing in comparison to the last four or five months.  

We’ve moved our corporate headquarters to Oak Brook, Illinois recently to be more centrally located for our Realtors® and customers. We had been located on the southwest side of Chicago, across the street from Midway Airport for more than five years. It was the right time for us. The space served its purpose, but with our growth and upcoming planned expansion, it was necessary to facilitate everything that is soon to come within the doors of OwnACondo.com.  

Simultaneously, we are starting a financing company, FinanceACondo.com. Our sole purpose for starting this company is to have more control over the real estate transaction. So many times you hear the phrase, “If you want it done right, do it yourself.” That is what we’ve done. We no longer will have to worry about when the loan officer will get to our customer’s file. We will be in control.

We’ve used several lenders in the past to our satisfaction, but too many times we’ve also had terrible experiences. At least with this new venture, if we have a bad experience, we have only ourselves to blame. We’ve recently signed contracts with Comcast to kick off TV commercial advertising for the first time in our company’s history. Starting September 24, we will be airing more than 2,000 commercials weekly. This, coupled with our 2nd Condo Expo in mid October, has the company buzzing right now. The Expo will be an event like no other with twenty plus developments showcased the weekend of the 20th and 21st of October, 2007. We wrote 313 reservations at our very first condo expo in February of this year, having never previously held an event like this. Now, with a little experience behind us, we’re expecting the number of reservations to be in the heavy hundreds, if not over a thousand when it’s all said and done.  

Lastly, I can’t say enough about the inner workings of OwnACondo.com. We have an absolutely tremendous office staff that fuels the entire company. Headed by Vicki Donnowitz, Executive Vice President, the company has more than 15 employees who do not sell. These people are the backbone of the company and why, as we end 2007, we’ll have another record year for condo sales. I want to thank each and every one of you for caring and bringing your passion to this company each and every day. You are the reason we will never stop growing and making OwnACondo.com “The best place to buy and sell condos.”  

Warmest Regards, 

Brian Kuzdas

Condo Company In Oak Brook, Illinois

Expanded offices mean more business, better service, higher visibility.  It’s often tough to leave a familiar, happy place.¦lt;br /> The memories…the accomplishments…the rooms where some of the best ideas were hatched. But business has little time for nostalgia, and when the need comes for bigger and better, it’s time to act.

Beginning October 1, 2007, OwnACondo.com will have a brand new home at 2001 Midwest Road, Oak Book, Illinois. The company will be headquartered in Suite 209, more than 3,600 square feet of custom-designed space. Just down the hall in Suite 202, FinanceACondo.com will open on October 15, 2007 in more than 2,000 square feet of space. On the first floor, in Suite 100, will be Brookshire Investments LLC, the commercial division of the company. 

Already looking beyond the move, Founder Brian Kuzdas recently took office staff on a tour of the building. “The ultimate goal is to occupy the entire second, first and lower levels,” he said. “We’ll have our agent training facility in the lower level; OwnACondo. com and Brookshire on the entire main level and FinanceACondo.com on the entire second level.”

The move was necessitated by several factors, said Executive Vice President Vicki Donnowitz. “We’ve outgrown the Central Avenue office in Chicago,” she explained, “and our new location makes it easier for the majority of our clients and staff to reach. Plus, our new Oak Brook address helps us attract developers from all over Chicagoland, the Midwest and even beyond.”¦lt;br /> Passersby and visitors will notice the large OwnACondo.com signage on the front of the building, soon to be installed facing Midwest Road. There is no other tenant of the building that has exterior signage. An open house is being planned. Please watch for our invitation.
