Alex Morsch of Peak Realty is a Commercial Broker and Investor with vast experience in repositioning assets in West Town.
Alex starts by discussing the grind of being a leasing agent and transitioning to brokering real estate! He lays out his experience walking 100 buildings prior to making his first purchase and the valuable lessons gained through that process. Alex breaks down how his “nose to the ground” approach to investment property acquisition has allowed him to add immense value to his clients and succeed as a broker. He also drops wisdom on house hacking, the West Town neighborhood, and creating opportunities in a tight inventory market. Alex closes with a bullish 5 year outlook on Chicago Real Estate!
