John Westbrook

Hi, I'm John! With a background of 5 years of experience leasing/managing for a large multi-family company in Chicago with over 6,000 units, I can provide immense value for multi-family investors here in Chicago. I'm a licensed broker for @properties Logan Square and can bring a unique approach to multi-family investing. Whether you are looking to house hack a 3 or 4 flat on your first deal, or find a 10+ unit value add, I would love to help find the perfect property to build you long-term wealth. At 23 years old I started buying/rehabbing/renting/managing my own multi-family properties, growing my portfolio to 74 doors by age 29, primarily focused in the Logan Square, Ukrainian Village, East Humboldt Park, and Old Irving Park neighborhoods of Chicago, IL. At 33, I have grown to 227 doors. I enjoy the interaction with my tenants and strive to provide an excellent home with outstanding service. I can be helpful to you with the buying process as I have the perspective of both market knowledge of an agent and value and the nuts & bolts of being an owner. I have gut-rehabbed over 200 apartments and understand the costs and processes associated with value-add real estate. My expertise lies in showing you the path to renovate, re-rent, and find financing to position your asset best.

Concerts are my way of soaking in inspiration and I use it as a fueling station. In 2022 I put on my first music festival, Lightning Bug Music Festival, in Valpo, Indiana. It was a 2-day music and camping fest with 12+hr of continuous music a day. I strive to follow my passion and dreams, and this is my path.
