Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices KoenigRubloff Realty Group Broker Jeff Lowe Opens Annex Office

CHICAGO, ILLINOIS – April 22, 2016 - Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices KoenigRubloff Realty Group is pleased to announce that broker Jeff Lowe, the firm’s leading agent and founder of The Lowe Group, will open a drop-in office location at 3300 N. Southport Avenue in Chicago’s Southport Corridor this month in the neighborhood where he’s dominated market share for the past decade. The office will be an extension of The Lowe Group’s home base in the firm’s Lincoln Park Clark office that is located at 2301 N. Clark Street.

“The Southport Corridor is a little like coming home for me,” said Lowe when asked why he chose this location. He continued, “My first five years in Chicago, I lived and worked down the street and my first job in real estate was in this exact space. I worked as a rental agent in 1997, and since that time, my clients have stayed here and stayed with me. They have purchased their second and third homes in this same great neighborhood. I actually sold this very building to a client 11 years ago and this was a wonderful opportunity to come back here. This is a walking neighborhood, and a storefront is a chance to connect with clients each and every day. It’s really the best of all worlds – a neighborhood presence supported by the full-service brokerage office at Lincoln Park Clark. KoenigRubloff is the best residential real estate firm in Chicago and I look forward to building my future here.”

Lowe noted that he likes the Southport Corridor because the public schools are very strong and buyers can live on a quiet, residential street, yet be steps away from a thriving community with upscale retail and restaurants. The proximity to Wrigley Field is also a big draw. Lowe has represented several of the Cubs players who have chosen to live in the neighborhood. Lowe feels so strongly about the community that The Lowe Group sponsored two public neighborhood parks, the School Street Playlot and Sheil Park.

“Jeff ’s business has grown exponentially since he started his career in real estate and he’s consistently among the top one or two brokers in Chicago year-after-year,” said Nancy Nagy, CEO of KoenigRubloff Realty Group. She continued, “When you put so much of yourself into your business and have an unrivaled work ethic as Jeff does, success is sure to follow,” she said.

Alan Zuber, managing broker of the firm’s Lincoln Park Clark Street office, added, “So much of Jeff’s business is repeat and referral business. Between our Lincoln Park Clark Street office and now this Southport Corridor annex, he will have a presence in the neighborhoods he serves most. It’s a real advantage for clients.”

Lowe is the top real estate broker in the city of Chicago, the state of Illinois and within Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices KoenigRubloff Realty Group. The Lowe Group is also the number one real estate team in the Midwest for Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices. In fact, according to MRED MLS, The Lowe Group’s closed volume for 2015 was $250 million - $77 million more than their nearest competitor.*

The 1200-square-foot Southport Corridor annex is located on the southeast corner of Southport Avenue and School Street. It will include a reception area, three work stations, a private office and a refreshment center. The office is decorated in a sophisticated grey and white color palette with comfortable furniture and quartz counters. A front office window will feature an interactive display and include a back-lit listing display so that pedestrians can easily obtain comprehensive property details and photos. Connecting with the community is the primary goal for the space. For more information, please reach out to Jeff Lowe at Jeff@LoweGroupChicago.com.
