Hi Malick, unfortunately, we do not service South Chicago. I haven’t come across any companies that do. If I do, I’ll be sure to let the BP community know.

Hi.

I’m looking to invest in South Chicago but a professional  property seems to be a myth in the area. Do your company service the south or any referrals? 

I’d truly appreciate  it.
