In 1990, Brian Kuzdas, founded Brookshire Investments, a small commercial real estate company in Hickory Hills, Illinois.  He had a dream of providing quality, affordable home ownership to individuals and families who thought they could only afford to be renters.  In 1997, he purchased his first apartment building.  The project was his first condo conversion in Chicago.

As the industry began to change, Brookshire Investments needed a website name that was easy to remember and in 1999, OwnACondo.com became that website.  At the time, Brookshire focused on its own projects needing only a handful of Realtors to sell its condo conversion in Chicago and the surrounding suburbs.

Six years later, in 2005, a new direction was taken and OwnACondo.com was soon to doing more than condo conversions in Chicago and the surrounding communities.  OwnACondo.com was approached by a development group to market and sell a 347 unit apartment complex in Palatine, Illinois that was converted to condominiums.  After careful analysis, OwnACondo.com decided to accept the contract and sold all 347 units within a six-month period.  The realization was apparent, that other developers need a real estate company that specialized only in condominiums.  OwnACondo.com took its success and decided to become a full-service real estate brokerage specializing in condominiums, handling the sales for its in-house conversion division and the entire Chicagoland market as well.

In January 2006, efforts were focused to marketing the brand OwnACondo.com.  The name was placed on billboards, on the right field wall of The World Champion Chicago White Sox, in radio commercials, major Chicago newspapers and magazines, resulting in thousands of leads.  The company grew from 12 realtors in January 2006 to almost 80 today.  OwnACondo.com is known as “the best place to buy and sell condos.”

OwnACondo.com is dedicated to serving the needs of condominium buyers and sellers.  We are committed to constantly reaching for higher levels and creating better ways to service our clients.  We are driven to provide the best condo selection, financing and education, resulting in the highest quality customer experience.

Originally, OwnACondo.com’s target market was primarily first time buyers with a condo conversion product that typically ranged in the low one hundred thousands.  Our market then shifted to become anyone interested in buying or selling a condominium.  Today, OwnACondo.com has broaded the focus to include helping those who have fallen victim of the foreclosure, through rent-to-own programs.  As we head into the next few years, we are committed to constantly shifting our focus on the target market.
