@properties was founded by Michael Golden and Thaddeus Wong, two award-winning agents who teamed together during the late 1990s for an unprecedented ride to the top of Chicago's real estate industry. Along the way, they discovered a shared vision for a real estate company that would set new standards for service and professionalism. In February 2000, with just two associates and a handful of clients, Golden and Wong opened the first @properties office in River North. The company's brand of high-energy, highly professional real estate services caught on quickly. During its first three years, @properties earned three consecutive Golden Eagle Awards from the Chicago Association of Realtors, honoring Chicago's top-selling agent. Meanwhile, the company rocketed to 596 agents serving Chicago from four city offices. Today, @properties is a company that stakes its reputation on values like accountability, professionalism and service. Its agents are highly motivated, passionate about real estate and seek creative solutions to the unique challenges that arise with every transaction.
