” Art with Three Pentacles is easily one of the most knowledgeable property managers in Chicagoland. When I was looking for a new management company, I called a good 10 places. during the time I had a tenant I was in the middle of evicting. Without pitching me, Art asked thoughtful questions to learn more about the situation. He clearly has immense knowledge of the eviction process and housing court system. After our call, I engaged his services and he’s been prompt and supportive ever since. He has been navigating my difficult tenant situation with grace, using strategies that never crossed my mind. I feel secure knowing Art has my best interests forward, and is clearly able to manage my property within state and county compliance.

By doing so, he not only serves the best interests of property owners but their tenants as well. Most impressive of all, he is extremely knowledgeable about everything related to leasing apartments, from obtaining a through background check of prospective tenants, to making sure leases comply with any local regulations, and taking the proper steps to evict a tenant when necessary. I would highly recommend Three Pentacles.”
